Pheasant Hill Cabin is a cozy place to stay. We loved hanging out on the deck overlooking the tall trees. The neighborhood was quiet and a great place to walk our dog. We especially appreciate that it's a dog friendly accommodation since we love to bring our dog with us on vacation. We also loved the short drive into town to go out to eat. We will definitely be staying at this cabin again.

Cabin in the trees
Cute cabin in the trees. Clean and well stocked. Fenced yard for a dog Nice deck for coffee in the morningI would definetly book again. There are 13 stairs up to the door. That may be a challenge for some, but there is shade for your car to park underneath.

Sleepy Browns out of town
I really enjoyed my stay at the cabin. It was quiet and private—perfect for a peaceful getaway. The highlight was definitely the interior. The inside of the cabin was thoughtfully designed, especially the cozy living area, which made it easy to relax and feel at home.Our cat, Sleepy Brown, also loved the cabin. He enjoyed exploring the space and spent a lot of time by the window, watching the trees and birds. It was a treat to see him so calm and curious.The only downside was the parking. It was a bit tricky to get into and easy to scrape if you’re not careful, so just be mindful when arriving.Overall, a great stay with a warm and inviting interior. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, private retreat—pets included!

March weekend getaway
Great little cabin far enough from downtown Julian but close enough to get to with a short drive. Very quiet and loved that it was pet friendly. We loved lounging on the deck watching the wild turkeys wander about the neighborhood. Lots of windows for ample sunshine and watch the snowfall. The host was very accommodating and kept me updated on the inclement weather. Thank you for a wonderful weekend and hope to make it back up there for a future stay.

A favorite place with our dogs in Julian
A nice sized yard along with a nice front decking expands the living space of this property well. A entire notebook chalk filled with lots of good ideas of local attractions, restaurants, and places for hiking make this a very welcoming place.

Super cozy cabin!
We had a great stay here. It's a great open layout, most of the accoutrements you'd expect, a great yard for dogs, and a very effective gas fireplace if it gets chilly. It's very close to downtown Julian (5 minute drive) with tons to do (many dog friendly businesses, too). Ran into a couple snags and the host was quick to reply and work things out. Also, there's this great notebook on the coffee table that is extremely informative of the town and what you can do there. Highly recommended.

Fall Getaway
This was our second stay at Pheasant Hill and can't wait to return. The space is exactly as pictured...it is studio style, but that works just fine for our family. There is plenty of space for my small children to play and for our dog to run around our back. Kitchen is stocked with basic tools and we were able to prep our meals easily (simple low prep).
Very quiet neighborhood, enjoyed coffee on the patio and star gazing at night.
We love all the windows to let us enjoy the views of the beautiful trees while inside.
Thanks again!!

Fun getaway in the woods; especially if you have a dog
We have a small pooch and we like to be able to bring her along when we take vacations. This is a great place for such a getaway. We really enjoyed getting out on the deck in the evening for some star watching. Lots of windows to open up to allow cool breezes to flow through and to listen to the rustling of the tree.

Amazing location with deck for stargazing.
Lovely neighborhood walks were sprinkled with birdwatching, goats, turkeys, chickens, and loveable mountain dogs. We were entertained each day with Steller’s Jays gathering branches for their nests right outside the living room window.
Both evenings were spent viewing the spectacular night sky from the deck.
Perfect location, a short drive to town and the several trails which we hiked each day.
We look forward to returning.
