Julian's Red Fox Retreat- Nature with a Hot Tub

Nestled amongst the oak trees, off an old country road sits Red Fox Retreat, a wonderful mountain home ready to host you and your loved ones. Secluded in the hills, just 2 miles from the historic town of Julian, an adventure awaits. Enjoy the large deck or relax in one of our many hammocks scattered around the property and listen to the sounds of nature. Too hot? Relax inside and enjoy our new central AIR CONDITIONING, before you venture or when you return from your day of exploration.

THE SPACE:
Shaded by the surrounding oak trees and tucked away in the hills, "Red Fox Retreat" allows you to relax and unwind yet be a short 7-8 minute drive to all the amenities that both Julian and Wynola have to offer.

With almost 2000 sqft of interior living space and a 1,500 sqft deck, there is plenty of space to move about. Provided with newer central HEAT and AIR CONDITIONING, the interior can easily be kept at your ideal temperature; Add a log to the wood stove to achieve a little ambiance in the winter. There are smart TVs, WiFi (with speeds ranging from 10-45 mbps), as well as DVDs, puzzles, books and board games to enjoy.

All of the rooms are provided with large windows to bring in plenty of natural light. This brings in a light airy feeling, rather than a cramped, dark cabin feeling-which is especially nice in the winter!!

The kitchen is large and open. It contains all your cooking/ baking needs (including spices, condiments, coffee, tea, sugar, popcorn, syrup, pancake mix and a few other food items).

The primary bedroom is very large and contains a king size bed, walk in closet and a separate laundry room. The other two bedrooms are smaller and contain a king and queen sized bed.

There is a BBQ grill and plenty of parking on the private circular driveway for extra guests to visit.

The house is equipped with an automatic generator in the event that SDG&E shuts off the power during times of inclimate weather.

GUEST ACCESS- The entire cabin- This property sits on 5 acres of space. There is a fenced yard that is exclusive to the house as well as the adjacent grounds. The lower part of the property has a private Glamping site. This is not included with this property and can be booked independently. The seasonal pond is shared with the adjoining neighbors and our glamping site. For more information about, or to book our gamping site please Google "Manzanita Cove".

DOGS:
With an additional fee, up to two, QUIET, house broken and well behaved (dog/people friendly) dogs are welcome. If you have dog(s) who like to bark or who consistantly bark, we kindly ask that they be kept at home. This is out of respect for our neighbors and other guests who are here to "get away" and listen to the sounds of nature, Guests who have dogs that constantly bark, or who allow for their dogs to bark will be asked to leave the property. Dogs are not permitted on the beds or the furniture. There may be other dogs on the property, so we ask that you keep your dog(s) leashed when walking the grounds.

POND: Typically the pond starts losing water by June is dry by the end of August/ September. There are no fish present. Please do not venture onto the backside of the pond or into the glamping area. Be aware that the dock is not floating and has no railings. There is a 10 foot drop to the ground when there is no water. Please do not use, when there is no water

OUT STUFF:
Because we live here part time, there is a pantry, chest freezer and two storage closets that we have our food and personal belongings in that will be locked. Please do not try to enter into these areas.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:

GLAMPING: There is a glamping site that resides on this property. It sits about 50 yards from the house and is not visible. It has a separate driveway, so there will be no cars driving past the house. It can be rented separately if you are interested by Googling "Manzanita Cove". There may be guests staying while you are here.

WILDLIFE: Red Fox Retreat is located in the country so please be aware that you will probably see turkey, quail, deer, woodpeckers, squirrels and possibly an elusive racoon or fox; but we also have ants, spiders, poison oak, rattlesnakes, bobcats, coyotes and mountain lions. It is important that you keep your eyes open and your pets and your children tended to.

WEATHER: The weather up here is typically beautiful, but it has its moments of rain, thunderstorms, hail, snow and high winds. Please take these elements into account when you book your stay. Winter guests may need AWD or 4WD and or chains. We do not give refunds for weather related issues. CHP can update you on road conditions and chain requirements before you come.

We very much enjoyed our time in this home! It is extremely well appointed, with comfortable furniture, beds, and a brand new kitchen and 1st floor bathroom. The kitchen has everything one would need to cook up a storm. The sunny dining area showcases the wonderful “wilderness” feel of the home. The huge porch, has tons of seating which works for small or large families, as well as a hot tub.We were there the week before Christmas, and there were outdoor lights and a very fun Christmas tree on a timer for our enjoyment.Our host was extremely responsive as well. We would love to spend more time here!
