Find Places to Stay in Ranchita on Airbnb

Tera & Rich we’re great hosts during our stay at The Cottage on the Rock. We are already looking at a time to come visit again! We enjoyed every last detail from the heated bathroom floors, to sipping on complementary hot chocolate, this place was amazing!!!! We enjoyed the fire pit, and roasted marshmallows. This was the perfect escape, and a much needed break from the silliness going on in the city! We will be back soon, thank you for being wonderful hosts and providing a perfect Julian getaway!

Everything was wonderful. The place was spotless and such attention to detail. Great location and so peaceful and quiet. We will be back!!

The Cottage on the Rock, furnished from IKEA, offers a very clean, sleek place for staying a few days or longer. We would stay here again, even for visiting Anza Borrego State Park. The walk into town is great for those who want to get a little up and down exercise. The cottage is in a lovely setting of native trees and we loved the drive from Julian into the Anza Borrego Park. That said, The Center Grocery in Borrego Springs offers a much better selection and fresher produce, especially if one chooses a healthy diet, over either of the country stores in Julian. And, regarding the famous apple pie in Julian: At two places pie was terrible, soggy, overly sweet, lacked tartness--Preparing meals was easy at Richard's place. Communication was instant and helpful. And, thank-you for having a great washer and dryer! Melody

This is such a great gateway. Home is cozy and beautifully renovated, has all the essentials and every single window looks out to the trees and mountains. Such a wonderful place to relax. We love Julian and live closed by , for us it was a fun and relaxing experience.

This home is perfect. Nice quiet neighborhood. Clean and cozy. Close to the town of Julian with great restaurants but also close to the William Heise County Park which has some great hiking trails. We'll definitely stay here again. Thanks Richard for sharing your house with us.

Richard's cottage is a good as it looks, even better! I appreciated all the special touches and spotless cozy environment. It was a perfect quiet getaway to read, relax, and explore the area. The view and vibe was so fantastic I never even turned on the TV. AND Richard could not have been any quicker to respond to any question or concern I had. I would just note that the bed is firm side. Thanks Richard, I look forward to a return visit soon.

Loved our short stay here! It's modern but still very cozy, and everything is new, sparkling clean (very important for us 'cause when it's not, ew), and in good working order. Exactly as advertised including with the cottage being a separate single home - not attached to anything and several feet from neighbors. All the small thoughtful touches were what really put this place over the top - like an abundance of outlets, including USB charging ports + electric outlets by the bed, plenty of basic staples and tools in the kitchen, soft extra large bath towels, the heated tile floor in the bathroom, and built-in closet shelves and hangers. Still wishing I had a hot filtered water tap in my kitchen. One thing to note is that the turn into the driveway is a touch steep so you may want to be aware of cars that may not handle a slightly steep slope while turning up a hillside well. We drove a small SUV so our ground clearance was fine. We curled up on the comfy couch with our Corgi in his bed by the electric fireplace and got to chill, read, make breakfast burritos, binge Netflix, and listen to the rain. Made for an awesome quick getaway just when we needed one. Can't wait to come back for a longer stay! Highly recommend staying here if you're in Julian.

I can't say enough good about this place along with Richard and Tera!! It is super clean and bright, well-equipped with all you'd need for a one-night or many night stay! It is literally three minutes away from downtown Julian and yet feels like you're out in the wilderness as you look out from the deck or living room window! A fancy hotel has NOTHING on this place. You have privacy, room to move around and not feel confined like in a hotel room, enjoy a fire pit and a star gazing platform (a telescope is also included), enjoy the mountain bikes that come with the unit, cuddle up under a TV blanket (two are provided) and watch a favorite movie by the fireplace (electric fire so no worries about firewood and such) or read a book out on the deck, have friends over and enjoy time together out on the deck at the big table and cook some burgers, dogs, or steaks (or whatever) on the grill (also provided), or just relax and enjoy the sounds of the birds outside, of which there are tons!! If you are there for an extended time, there is a washer and dryer provided as well. We really enjoyed the fact that pots, pans, dishes, cups, and even a great spice rack were provided for our use! We had everything we needed and will definitely be going back!! Thank you so much, Richard and Tera for your fantastic hospitality!!!!

New tiny home. Clean and comfy with a loft in addition to the single bedroom. An adult cannot stand up in the loft, but it is fine as an extra sleeping area. Nice sully shaded carport so can park right next to the unit. Lovely mountain view from the living area patio door slider. Nice little "patio" deck not pictured in the listing.

We loved our stay at the Tiny House. The perfect size with good amenities and plenty of storage. The RV community is welcoming and friendly. The views of the desert and mountains are lovely. Perfect location near town and State Park Information Center. We so enjoyed riding our road bikes among the sculptures and beyond. Also, some good hikes nearby. We would highly recommend the Tiny House for a great stay in Borrego.

Sweet tiny home with well thought out spaces. Never felt crowded.

A comfortable and peaceful place to stay in Borrego Springs. Very conveniently located near town and also the Anza Borrego state park visitor center. The mobile home community where the home is located was quiet and friendly, with nice views and amenities. Would happily stay here again.

The Tiny house was truly amazing! We will be back for sure. Thank you.

A really great stay in the tiny home. It was clean, comfortable cozy and had everything we needed. It's an easy mile walk into town and it is close to the visitor center, hikes and the sculptures. We decided to drive over to check out Salvation Mountain, Slab City and The Salton Sea. Wacky and weird but interesting.

This location is very convenient to many local attractions whether they be outdoor sculptures or trails in Anza-Borrego State Park. In Borrego Springs there is a local non-profit Nature Center that offer many programs throughout the week. Be sure to check their schedule for night sky, hiking or morning bird walks. And if you want to simply sit back and relax, from the deck , the views of the mountains to the west just can’t be beat.

I can agree with everyone else, it’s an awesome and “sparkling clean” spot! My girlfriend and I absolutely loved staying here. We will be back.

Anna was a great host. She communicated right up through departure, even warning us about potential bad weather. The house was super clean, big bedrooms, great character. We went to Anza Borrego Park one day (20 min) and Julian (25 min) the next. The property is big and has a lot of out buildings, and I imagine it would be fun to stay with a group and rent out the guest house also. There is a really cute little "bunk bed" room off the kitchen that was likely a supply room at one time but would now be a great room for kids to sleep in. Lots of labels everywhere, which I appreciate, and although we didn't cook, it had everything you needed should you so desire. Both an eat-in kitchen and a large dining room and the living room is huge. We didn't get to enjoy the outdoor space due to the cold weather, however, it was lovely to look at through the large windows. We really enjoyed our stay!

Anna's place was beautiful & clean. We enjoyed a fun hike up to Eagle Rocks while staying there. The bed was very comfortable & we especially enjoyed the pizza oven. The house has historical rich feel while being warm and comfortable. We would love to come back in the summer to play in the pool.

This was such a beautiful and unique house. The wonderful patio and pool area are a great place to just sit outside and relax. There’s plenty of hiking around if you want to go out and get active. The drive to julian wasn’t bad so it wasn’t a big deal if we needed to get something or just wanted to go out. The only downside was I didn’t get service with my provider, however my guest that had Verizon was able to have service. They provided a hotspot so I was still able to use my phone at the house, just not when I was on the patio. Overall I would definitely stay again.

excellent retreat for us, had a wonderful time at the Ranch. this is the second time we stay here and we are already planning for another visit this year.

Anna’s place was beautiful! She is very descriptive in revealing the location and communicating the best way to navigate to the property and prepare for your stay. We visited during the winter, so we did not get to enjoy the beautiful outdoor space but it looked very inviting. It was exactly as she describes in her listing. The home is well stocked with everything you could possibly need and then some! We did have cell service (Verizon) while there, but not everywhere in the surrounding area. Anna was always quick to respond with any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to this area!

Beautiful home with an amazing hostess! Even though she was out of town at the time she still stayed up (with the time difference) to make sure we got in safely.

This home has it all! Beautiful décor, games, movies, lots of amenities! Whether you want to take a drive into Julian for some apple pie, drive down to Borrego to check out the desert sculptures or enjoy some hiking right in your backyard.... this is the place to stay!

Beautifully decorated home and outstanding communication from the host. Great location and lots of thoughtful touches made us feel at home. The only thing that I didn’t like was that the bathroom requires you to go through one of the bedrooms. If you are a family, it’s probably not a big deal, but we stayed with another couple, so that affected their privacy. Other than that we loved our stay here.

Our stay was AMAZING! Perfect for a romantic or personal getaway. Leigh is an amazing host, she was so helpful and answers very promptly. Love love love this place, will definitely be back!

This was our second time staying here and it was just as amazing, if not better! We’ll definitely be back again :)

This was our 5th trip to Julian and our 1st stay at Leigh’s place- and we are very thankful to Leigh for this wonderful experience! It is a very genuine place- a truly perfect fit for someone who wants to explore Julian and its beautiful surroundings, but also for someone who enjoys spending time staying at one place and just relaxing. The property itself is a very interesting experience, with plenty of things to explore- you can walk around, hike to Julian, interact with horses (Duster is so lovely!), observe so many birds (hummingbirds, wild turkeys, woodpeckers, owls, hawks, even parrots)! And you get to meet Curly the Emu, who is very curious, friendly and totally adorable! The cottage is comfortable and stylish, with many personal touches, very clean, it has everything you may need or think about (plush king bed, softest towels, fridge, ac unit, shower with good water pressure, even snacks:). The yard is so beautiful, with flowers, sitting place, hammock- and nature around. We will be back very soon!

Outstanding, beautiful getaway. Highly recommended. If your looking to get away from the city to experience nature and peacefulness this is the place.

Magical place! We loved the cozy cottage, the horses and emus, and the short and scenic walk into town. The cottage has a coffee machine with plenty of tea/coffee, a fridge, snacks, a hotplate, and a small and clean bathroom. Large bed. No TV, but very good WiFi for your devices. Heater/AC unit. Wonderful outdoor seating. The oak trees give it a sense of privacy. We hope to be back!

What a fun trip we had! My 2 young children LOVED this place! Leigh is such a warm, easy to talk to, accommodating host. It's serene, quiet and just warms your heart. We definitely will be back :)

Leigh's place is nestled in country mountains about a mile and a half outside of Julian. Comfortable King-size bed, nice amenities, amazing natural scenery. In the fridge was a Tupperware containers with carrots to feed two horses that graze the property. Also there is a wondering Emu that sometimes like to stop by and rest in front of the Cottage. You can't get this at a hotel! Leigh's little country cottage is what makes AirBnB a great alternative.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful cottage! We met Leigh’s wonderful horses on the first day, and one of the curious emus the next morning. The space, and land are gorgeous, and so close and easy to get to Julian. We had an amazing time.

The perfect place for a quiet respite. Comfortable with great views of Borrego and surrounding mountains. I hope to come back soon.

Charming and private attached casita that's not too far away from Borrego Springs, but because of its seclusion, feels miles away from everything. A couple of things to know about this place: read the directions on how to find the place carefully - don't just put the address into your GPS; it will steer you wrong. It can be challenging to find a night because it is off a dirt road and there are no street lights to speak of. The room has all the essentials, including a mini-fridge and small toaster oven - good for snacks but that's about it. The bed is a double, not a queen - no big deal, just an FYI for those used to spreading out. The mattress is very firm - good for some, but may be too firm for those expecting soft and fluffy hotel-style mattresses. The WIFI is perfectly good. The shower can get quite hot and has plenty of water pressure. I would definitely stay here again.

Carolanne place is perfect for a desert getaway! The views right out the window are stunning and so easy to get to for a hike. Carolanne was super responsive for hiking suggestions as well as all the other questions I needed answered. We will be back for sure!

The view from the large windows of the mountains were what I wanted. The open space as well. I use to own a house down the street from here so I knew what to expect and was the reason I booked it. Thank you Carolanne

We enjoyed our stay at this unique casita. It's small, basic, and a little pricey but worth it for the gorgeous setting and mountain and desert views. It's close to town and hiking trails in the state park. I would stay again.

What a view!! Comfy clean quiet dark (with lights off of course). Great place to visit.

This fortress is the perfect place to get away from all the noise. From sitting out watching humming birds with your morning coffee to star gazing in the evening - this quiet kingdom is an ideal base for a few days hiking or simply hiding away! Fully recommended! ✌️❤️🚀

This casita is quiet and calming. We looked at the stars then woke up the next morning and saw the sunrise. We ate at El Borrego and Kesling’s Kitchen. Both were delicious.

The view was incredible, the space super comfortable. Isaiah was an attentive host who took the time to give me tips to deal with the snow since it was a first time for us. Highly recommend!

Beautiful little downstairs hideaway with a nice spacious bed, bathroom, and living room. The view was amaaaazzinngg. Perfect location for a sunrise.

Really beautifully designed and appointed. Fantastic views, easy access, great communication.

Awesome spot, crazy view, close to everything in Julian... absolutely can't wait to come back

Thanks!

This loft was beyond beautiful! The Vite stole the show, however the inside was such a pleasant surprise. So modern and cozy, I loved every single detail! Not to mention it is EXTREMELY close to the city. You can easily come and go as you please. One of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed at.

My stay at Isaiah's was amazing! The view is 10x better in person and the place was freshly renovated and very clean. Check-in was seamless. I would book again without question.

This is such a cool place to spend the night star gazing. You have a large private deck with a surreal view. Once you are ready to be inside, this cozy suite will be the perfect place to chill. Quick drive to town or hiking trails.

Had a great time and Matt was awesome! Would def go back!

A cozy cabin with a stunning view!

The perfect getaway in this cabin on a lake. Panoramic Lake & mountain views. Roomy home, a short drive to town (get some of the famous pie) Wake in the morning to deer and wild turkeys. Great host, went out of his way to accommodate my internet needs for work. We will return. Recommended

Matt is a super host! He stayed in touch with us by text to make sure we found the place or if we had any issuing getting in the house. The location is beautiful with a full view of the lake. It was just my husband and our dog so we have lots of room to roam around. My husband especially like how easy it was to use the TV! Would definitely recommend this house.

Everything was wonderful! Beautiful view! Great host! Thank you!

My wife and I loved this place. A very new and warm home with all the amenities we needed. Both levels of this home were furnished well complete with wifi, cable, and a great flat screen. A spectacular view situated over looking the lake and distant mountains. The owner was very responsive and attentive. A fun vacation getaway close to many great things to do.

From the moment that you book your stay at Matt's cabin, he is attentive to detail and makes you feel very special! The cabin is gorgeous, the kitchen stocked with everything you might need, the linens and towels are beautiful, and then there is that amazing view! The layout of the cabin allows for unobstructed views wherever you are, and the deck is big and just perfect for relaxing and watching the boats on the lake. We saw deer early in the morning, hiked around the lake and cooked a big dinner and ate on the deck....it felt like we were a million miles away but we were home in an hour! I cannot recommend Matt's beautiful cabin enough....we will be back!!!

Wow! The lake and mountain views from EVERY room are spectacular. A very unique property at a reasonable price. Everything was great and Matt was a fantastic host. The bed was very comfortable. I can't wait to come back.

This was a wonderful experience! Stacy was so kind and accommodating. The cabin is only a 10 minute walk from town and we were able to explore all of main street. I would highly recommend this place to anyone but especially if you are looking to tour the town and greater Julian area. We are avid hikers and Stacy was able to provide some local tips for how to explore the wilderness of Julian. We had a blast!

I was visiting Julian to run a marathon. The race ended up getting canceled but I can’t think of a better experience. Stacy’s cabin is clean, comfortable, and cozy. When you check-in get ready to take a load off. The cabin is stocked with snacks and goodies. While the cabin itself is magnificent, the service and friendliness of Stacy is also best in class. Before leaving, Stacy prepared herbal tea and even left a celebratory gift bag before unofficially running the race!!! If this place is ever available book it ASAP. You can thank me, well rather, thank Stacy later.

Cute little cabin, private and quiet. Good value and really helpful host.

Stacy’s log cabin is a MUST stay in Julian. It is an amazing location (within walking distance to downtown), while also giving you a sense of privacy and some amazing views of the valley/mountains. The cabin itself was perfect for my fiancé and I. It was a great size, extremely clean, decor was great, and it had an authentic mountain feel to it. Stacy added some wonderful personal touches as well which was really nice! Ruby (their horse) was also a fun addition to the weekend. Can’t recommend this place enough!!

Very cute cabin tucked in the woods, yet very close to town. The cabin was clean, cute and private and there were lots of extra special touches. Stacy was very nice and accommodating and easy to contact! We loved the outdoor fire pit, the stargazing, the peace and quiet and Ruby the horse!

Great, cozy cabin and very close to the main street! Stacy was a great host and very responsive. Would definitely recommend

The cabin was very clean and Stacy was nice enough to leave a fridge stocked with snacks for us. The amenities that the cabin had also made for a relaxing weekend. We spent mornings and evenings by the firepit outside enjoying the view. We had a lot of fun petting Ruby, the horse. Overall it’s a great little place for an affordable price!

Great place to escape. Very close to town. We will be back.

This place has everything you would want in an Airbnb— complete privacy, hot tub, fully stocked kitchen, and walking distance to town. We had a wonderful time exploring the nearby state parks in the day and coming home for a soak and a homemade dinner at night. One thing I will note is that the mattress is VERY soft. All around, a wonderful Airbnb.

Wonderful spot! We had a fantastic time in this cute cabin. It was right next to town, which made walking to town very convenient. We would definitely stay again.

This cabin is a true gem. Nestled in the perfect location, we walked into town each morning for breakfast & went on small hikes nearby. The jacuzzi is a great touch & very private. It made a perfect place for a short and sweet romantic getaway!

Cozy log cabin with great modern amenities! Everything is labeled which is so helpful, no fumbling with switches trying to figure things out. Nice private location yet walking distance to shops and restaurants. The fireplace does a great job keeping the place warm and cozy, the bed is super comfy, and the hot tub was so relaxing. The included binder has a great guide to all the local places, and self-checkin was simple. Overall a great experience!

This was a nice little cabin. It was really clean and very close to Main st. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay, checkin and checkout were easy and the inside of the cabin was very nice.

Loved it and would definitely stay again!

Super clean and cozy cabin!

Great location. Perfect for a romantic getaway. Stocked with everything you need. Loved the hot tub under the stars.

The house is as described and pictured. The kitchen is very well stocked with utensils, dishes pots and pans for cooking and eating. The outdoor grill was clean and ready to go. The beds very comfortable. We ( a group of four) were impressed with the thoughtful touches that made this a good base to explore Anza Borrego Park.

Wonderful place to stay and use as a home base to explore Anza. The desert is beautiful, but it's so relaxing to come back here at the end of the day to rinse out the dust and cozy up with the records, fire, or games. Absolutely loved it! We were two couples and it was a perfect size and layout. Once the second part of the duplex is finished it would make an awesome stay for a slightly larger group as well. We'll be back for sure!

Terrific place! Great location. Wonderful hosts. Within the first hour or so of entering the home, I quickly took note and appreciated all the effort that had been put into making this Airbnb an amazing place that has heart and makes you feel welcome. The home offers indoor and outdoor games, front and back areas to relax, a record player (and records!), and so much more that I wasn't able to check out as I spent most of my time in the park. I recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the area while being close to town. At the time of the rental in Feb 2020, the unit next door was empty/under renovation so there was no one else on the property. One note worth mentioning... the shower head is 5+ feet high, so if you're tall then this may be an issue for you.

Great location and minutes away from Anza Borrego State Park and Ocotillo Wells! If you want to rent dirt bikes or ATV’s, I would recommend Mūy Rapido. The guy there is a one stop shop. Repairs, personal vehicles and has been in the business for 20 years and really took his time getting us set up. The Airbnb is in a small desert neighborhood and next to a home with a family and young children that like to spend their afternoons and evenings outside. The noise is not too noticeable except for the one bedroom closet to their yard. Matt & Aubyn provided ear plugs if needed. The kitchen is well stocked for meal prep and cooking. Matt was kind enough to provide milk/milk alternative for our coffee/tea. If you’re visiting the area, I would recommend Matt & Aubyn’s place! It was perfect for the two of us!

A great desert home with all the right touches. All around satisfied with the location, amenities and special touches like coffee on hand, grill access, a great back yard with bocce and horseshoes, and fireplace under the stars. A special place for sure. Thank you.

I came out with a friend for a girl’s retreat. Cactus & Stars was the perfect place to relax and reset. Matt & Aubyn provided the perfect outdoor spaces to write, meditate, read, and gaze at the stars. The first night we sat around the mid-century fireplace in the front yard and gazed at the stars. The next morning we watched the sunrise from the backyard. We ate breakfast at the wood slab dining table in the front yard and had a mid-morning yoga session by the palo verde tree. This house is immaculate and the details are wonderful. The kitchen is well appointed and provides you with all that you need to make meals during your stay. There is a bocce ball court, horseshoe pit, and outdoor Jenga. If you feel like playing poker, putting together a puzzle, reading a book, or scorpion hunting they have what you need. I highly recommend scorpion hunting with the scorpion flashlights at night. They also have a telescope for stargazing. I absolutely love this property. I can't wait for my next visit.

We enjoyed our stay in Borrego Springs and appreciated the location and convenience of Matt & Aubyn’s place. We enjoyed the retro record player and thought the place was tastefully outfitted with classy and comfortable furnishings. Best of all was the ability to sit around a toasty fireplace on a clear but chilly evening enjoying the night sky. Horseshoe pitch in the backyard was great. All in all a wonderful experience and would not hesitate to book again if I have the opportunity to visit Borrego Springs at a future date.

We had never been to Borrego Springs and it was insanely lovely! This Airbnb reflects that beauty wonderfully and we would want to stay here everytime we visit! Being able to grill out and enjoy a fire under the stars were incredible perks

We had an excellent time at the treehouse! We loved having the options of the 3 different decks to hang out on & enjoy the views but our favorite was definitely the one right off of the house! The dimmable string lights gave it such a cozy feel. The kitchen is fully stocked so we were easily able to cook some home made meals but also enjoyed visiting the nearby restaurant on the lake. We preferred to sleep in the living room next to the fireplace. Don’t forget to bring firewood!

I loved it! The “treehouse” balcony was where my friends and I spent the majority of our time. We had great views of the mountain side as well as the lake. Even though we had neighbors, the home felt secluded and very private because of all of the trees. The spa was the perfect touch also! This is the perfect place for a nice getaway :)

Great little cabin with an amazing view! Extra clean and all the comforts you’d expect in your own home. The best part? Sitting on the deck at night and listening to the wind rush through the trees while gazing at stars in a crystal clear sky. Yep, we’ll be back.

Great communication, great cabin at Lake Cuyamaca. It was nice having a fire, going in the spa, talking small hikes around. Wish we would've had the snow still, but can't control the weather! Free workout with those steps, phew! My 5 year old daughter LOVED every minute of it. Would highly recommend! Thank you!

Into the Woods was amazing! Great spot away from the city commotion but still close to the little town of Julian which was very convenient. The hosts left little touches around the house, including chocolates and robes. The jacuzzi was great and the treehouse had a beautiful view of the lake and mountains. Amenities were very nice and thoughtful. House was clean and warm during our whole stay! 10/10 would recommend this stay for a romantic couples getaway or a family vacation!

This really is a special place! We loved the deck/Overlook and the movie theater area. The views are amazing and we had fun walking up to the upper observation deck. The main bed is a very firm memory foam mattress. If you prefer a slightly softer bed, you may want to opt for the sofa in the living room (a queen and also memory foam). We arrived just after a snowstorm. We did have to buy $170 snow chains for a rental car Notre to legally drive up Highway 79 to the rental. The only place we were nervous about slipping was on the switchbacks coming up to the cabin. If you visit in the winter months you should be aware of the possible need for snow chains. However, the area is beautiful in the snow! We enjoyed our three nights there very much, and our three days exploring the area. We found Julian to be an overcrowded tourist town. We did enjoy the drive and hike to Three Sisters Falls, and Green Valley Falls. Get off the road and get away from the crowds :) We are a family of four.

Great place with very nice view. We really enjoyed spending time there.

This was my second stay at this lovely property, so the fact that I returned tells you everything you need to know. See my original review for more details.

This is a great getaway from everything. It is a perfect place to relax and enjoy farm animals and food. It is a perfect location to go see Borrego Springs and Julian then come back to a super relaxing place.

Lisa's house, in a small ranch setting, is delightful. It was super clean and the ranch-inspired decor gave it a comfortable and homey appeal. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals, the beds were comfortable, and the bathroom sparkling clean. Lisa has added many amenities that made staying there easy and comfy. Communication was excellent. Extra special was a homemade breakfast of fresh farm eggs and pancakes delivered to our door at 8:30 sharp each morning. One of our day's stay was a total wash out, with rain most of the day and lowland flooding. Lisa gave us suggestions of places to go and local restaurants to try that were on higher ground and therefore we could get there. We had a delicious meal at a small Italian restaurant, Romano's. Overall, a great place to stay, especially if you like to be away from the crowds, experience a dark, starry sky, and have an exceptionally quiet night's sleep.

Host very attentive, friendly, and helpful about local activities/restaurants. Very serene, quiet location.

Fantastic stay!

Spectacular place! Great place to relax from the busy city life. Outstanding hospitality! We got home made breakfast every morning and got to feed the animals in the afternoon. Host is very attentive to your requests and will reply very quickly to your questions about the area. Absolutely recommend this place.

The space is exactly how it is described. It’s a lovely, peaceful and quite ranch house on a small working farm. The space is very clean, warm, bright, inviting and very well appointed. The bed and pillows are so comfortable and the bath towels were very soft! My husband enjoyed the wonderful and tasty breakfasts that Lisa made for us. Lisa is an amazing host, the communication from her is excellent, she responds quickly to messages and is willing to help or offer suggestions at any time. The animals on the farm are great, I wish I had more time to spend with them. Overall we had such a nice stay. If you are looking to get away and be out in nature and have some peace and solitude this is the place for you. A++ experience!

This was our 2nd time staying at Rock’n M ranch and we had an amazing time! Lisa and her husband are super friendly and accommodating. We had a late check in and they had the heaters turned on for us so it was nice and warm when we arrived. They left us some chocolates and a bottle of champagne, as our stay was over New Years. The place was clean and inviting. Every morning Lisa brings over eggs, pancakes, orange juice and some fruit. The ranch has horses, a donkey, some roaming sheep and various other animals, and you can tell Lisa really cares for them. She provided us with local tips on hiking trails, kid friendly restaurants and other things to check out. I can’t recommend this place enough If you are looking to get away from it all and enjoy the peace and quiet of this rural location. It’s a dark sky community so the night sky looks incredible. The hosts couldn’t have been more accommodating and friendly, and really went above and beyond. 5 stars all the way!

Lisa’s ranch is a great spot to relax with the family and interact with ranch animals or head out to Anza Borrego or Julian. Lisa is an incredibly hospital host and very easy to communicate with. Not to mention her tasty breakfasts served every morning!

My family and I stayed at Mary’s cabin for a weekend getaway to take in the fresh air, catch some fish, and eat lots of pie. We were so impressed with how clean and organized the cabin was and really appreciated the notebook where she left instructions on where to find things in the cabin. The notebook also included lots of information on things to do in Julian and in the surrounding areas. The entire cabin was clean, and the beds were comfortable - especially the pillows! The outside patio decks were great for watching the sunset and taking in the fresh air. The kitchen had everything we needed and were happy to see a toaster oven was available to use. Our favorite part about the cabin was the huge windows that allow for panoramic views of the many pine tress she has on her property. My family and I will definitely consider staying at Mary’s place again if it is available on our next trip to Julian.

Mary is such a sweetheart and made renting this cabin more than easy and enjoyable! Mary and John are wonderful people with a gorgeous, more than welcoming vacation home. I would absolutely rent this cabin again!

The house on Flat Top Mountain was a great place for our girls get away weekend. Mary is a terrific host and had the house ready and welcoming for our arrival. The views from the house are beautiful and the beds are comfy. The house was clean and the kitchen well stocked for our use. There is no WiFi but it was not missed. We got good cell signals and Mary provides a good selection of books and DVDs if you feel the need. We enjoyed relaxing so much that we didn’t even use the TV. An added bonus is that the town of Julian and the Julian Pie Company with its delicious pies and apple cider donuts is just a short drive or a good walk away. We had a terrific time at Mary’s house on Flat Top Mountain.

This place is beautiful and so close to town while still being private and surrounded by beautiful trees. One bathroom which may be tricky if you plan to have a lot of people staying there, but it worked fine for us.

Great house, amazing host, awesome location.

Highly recommend! Will be back

Mary’s Flat Top cabin was nothing short of amazing. The cabin was spacious and well appointed.... and the views! Wow! We stayed here for Thanksgiving, during a winter snow storm, and we were cozy and warm inside the cabin. The kitchen had all the basics needed to complete our meal. Plenty of games, puzzles and dvds to keep us occupied. Once the snow stopped we had the chance to hike around the property. Mary’s communication was excellent throughout our entire stay and her hospitality/thoughtfulness went above and beyond our expectations. Mary, thanks so much for sharing your cabin with us! We can’t wait to return when the weather warms up!

This was our second visit to Mary’s cabin in Julian and it just gets better every time. You cannot beat the views, especially the sunset. We attended a wedding at Sacred Mountain and this home is only a few miles away, perfect place to stay! We went into town early to get pizza and pie and enjoyed our leftovers throughout the weekend. We saw deer and wild turkeys too. This has now become a yearly visit and we can’t wait to return next year! Thank you! Linnea

Pretty view in the mountains

Super clean and private space.

Nice place. Small, but cozy for two people. Beautiful view!

Super cute studio with a great view, clean and comfortable. Close to town of Julian and 30 min from beautiful hiking trails!

Mario was super quick to respond and resolve any issues. And the view from the balcony is incredible.

Cozy apartment with such a nice location. Thank you!

I was participating in a wolf event at the California Wolf Center and needed to be there very early in the morning, so I had to spend the night in the Julian area. I found Mario's place and thought it would be perfect for me. The bed is comfortable, there are plenty of viewing options on the TV. I know there's a gorgeous view but the weather conditions when I was there were rain, fog and wind storm so unfortunately I couldn't enjoy it! Maybe next time. I would definitely come back to Mario's place for another stay.

Cute space that is cozy and just right for two people. Easy check-in and the suite had everything we needed for a one night stay.

Truly such a beautiful space with a great view to match. The photos do make it look bigger than it is, but it was perfect for my stay. Tamara was super quick to respond and very thoughtful. Can’t wait to come back.

This was a beautiful stay and Tamara really takes care of her guests. The home was cozy and my husband kept telling me how much he loved relaxing while there. We had such a wonderful time!

Super nice little cabin in Julian. Such a great hangout place that is close to great hiking nearby at Volcan Mountain Preserve, Cuyamaca State Park and the Laguna Mountain Recreation Area. We enjoyed having downtown Julian close by as well as the sparkling clean hot tub, cute kitchen, and a warm comfy cabin when the weather switched from warm to chilly. We'd definitely return!

Tamara’s place was absolutely amazing and the perfect little cabin for a getaway. Would definitely recommend!!! Thank you.

Clean, great views, and overall wonderful experience.

Loved the space, so stylish and unique!! Perfect getaway

Tamara’s cabin was very cozy and clean. Kitchen was easy to use and fully equipped. Two beds were big enough for three of us. I would love to come back for apple picking and pumpkin patch at harvest season. Don’t forget to try the handmade local apple pies.

You won’t be let down on this retreat. Peaceful and clean. Worth every penny!

Great little cozy cabin to stay in!

Cute place, clean. Just what we needed for a place to stay for a night. The bathroom is a very tight space, but everything else was great. Chris responds quickly. Would stay again.

Chris's place is the perfect cozy getaway right off the main road. If you find it available for your dates - grab it before its gone!

Chris’ place was amazing. The place was spotless, maybe a 2 minute drive from downtown Julian and very private. 10/10 would recommend. I fell in love with it as soon as I walked in. The fireplace alone kept the whole place warm, but a space heater is available if you like it toastier. My fiancé and I will definitely be back.

Great cozy place! Had a great stay

Me and my girlfriend loved our 3 day stay here. It's small but comfortable and we loved the stone walls and little gas fireplace. Would definitely recommend if you want a place in Julian and don't need a lot of space.

2nd time staying here. Really love the proximity to the town

Adorable tiny house, clean. Highly recommended. Thanks Chris

such a great weekend getaway!

We loved our visit, we booked same day and she was welcoming and had the house ready for us same day. The house is homey, comfortable, clean, newly redone, and we felt very relaxed and at home in it. Star gazing before we went to bed and waking up to the sound of roosters and cows was just great! No complaints at all! Thanks Kamisha!

One of my top 2 all time favorite Airbnbs. If you want to get a feel of the “old” way of living in the area by staying in an updated, charming and well thought out home (on a beautiful, natural and large plot of land) this is your place. Centrally located and easy to find. Wonderful amenities and special touches. Loved the comfortable bed and wonderful claw foot bath/shower. Can’t wait to go back.

Very nice and cozy. Great location for tourists.

Amazing space. Kamisha takes pride in opening up her home to newcomers by offering the most special touches. It feels like a home away from home. The location itself was prime considering it was neatly in the middle between Julian and Ramona. Santa Ysabel has its own fair share of special sites and we were happy to have experienced it all. It’s safe to say we’ll be back again!

This adorable little farmhouse is the perfect getaway. Kamisha's place is absolutely charming and the location is perfect. You have the Calico Cidery just north down the road and if you keep going you'll reach the Wynola Pizza house that has local live music on Thursdays. Then just opposite, south down 79 (maybe 3 minutes!) you run into Julian, which is a lovely little town, I really enjoyed Julian Beer Co. "Regulars Wanted" is a great cafe with wifi to get some work done. After a day of exploring it was always nice to come back to a warm farmhouse that had just about everything I needed. I highly recommend this place and hope to be back. Thanks Kamisha!

Such a clean and cute place! We enjoyed our time here

Kamisha’s place was much better than expected! The farmhouse felt very homey and was perfect for a little get away. It’s very close to the main part of Julian and we were able to pick up a pie and bake it in the oven while we relaxed. We had everything we needed, provided. And we were even greeted by some friendly chickens upon arrival. Definitely would love to come back!

Groovy grammy trailer. Nice flat walks around a well maintained golf course. Very warm pool and hot tub. Lots of friendly Canadians around. Close to town and the red Ocotillo. Recommended.

Jayleen's place is located in probably the most beautifully landscaped residential community in Borrego Springs. It is a pleasure to see all the remarkable specimens of cactus and other desert species. The community also offers a hot tub, salt-water pool, gym, golf course, tennis and pickle ball courts and more. The rental is a 60's or 70's vintage double-wide manufactured home. It is showing some wear and tear but we enjoyed our stay. We had everything we needed, all appliances were in good working order, the bed was comfortable and Jayleen stocked an ample supply of necessities (toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, ice, pots, pans, cutlery, towels, linens, etc., etc.). What we enjoyed most was having lunch in the small yard where we could watch a variety of birds: finches, warblers, verdins, doves, mockingbirds, bluebirds.

Had a great time in Borrego Springs Jayleens place was comfy warm and inviting

Great location, extremely quiet area, comfortable home. We had the pool /jacuzzi and excercise room to ourselves ! Close to town and stores.

Very nice place and wonderful home.

This place was better than I expected. The shed was very clean and the bed was comfy! We really enjoyed the tea selection and how peaceful and quiet the area was. We woke up to an amazing view and admired the cows & horses nearby. Would def recommend.

A great relaxing spot to unwind at. Close enough to town and fun trails. We would definitely stay here again.

The Deer Shed was a fun place to stay. It was great opening the entire front window/wall to enjoy the scenery. We came on a very cold and wet day and the Shed kept us comfortable and cozy.

The space was quiet cozy and perfect for 2 people. The garage door opening was by far the best part of the entire stay as it offers a unique experience for a morning in bed view of the land. The room was in very clean condition and I felt comfortable in it the entire stay. Definitely recommend

You definitely feel like you are getting away from it all. Theres a beautiful view from the shed and got to see some deer and coyotes and could hear Turkeys off in the distance. Exploring the property a plus since my wife went out to the area to hike and explore. Super close to the Main st and the local shops and restaurants. The shed is great and lots of nice extras that they include. Had everything you would need for a long stay. We only stayed one night but would like to go back and stay longer.

The Deer Shed is one of the coziest getaways one could ask for! We arrived after dark in the chilly rain, but the check in instructions made it easy to find the place and make our way inside where it was nice and warm in a matter of minutes with the space heater. The location is ideal, just outside of the hustle and bustle of downtown Julian, and not too far from some amazing hikes. This was the perfect place to rest our tired bodies after a day of outdoor adventuring. The mini kitchen had all the essentials to make a simple pasta dinner and delicious breakfast hash. Watching the morning fog dissipate was amazing to watch from the incredibly comfortable bed. We read a few reviews before that raised concerns about privacy, but it seems that these have been addressed as there were curtains on all the windows. Sparkly clean, cozy beyond belief, and delightfully remote, this is the perfect weekend getaway destination!

The deer shed was an absolute pleasure to stay at. Amazing star gazing at night, sparkling clean and cozy cabin, super quiet and relaxing area, and convenient to Julian (which has wonderful apple pie). We loved the giant garage-door-like window that opened up the cabin to the outdoors. The porta potty is close by and very well maintained, and the outdoor shower was quite refreshing!

My partner and I LOVED staying here. Sitting on the bar stools with the sliding door open was absolutely wonderful! The shed is just a quick drive to either Julian or Wynola! (we personally like Wynola more!) Highly recommend!

We had a great weekend at T’s place. The cabin is very cozy and has many details to make you feel at home. Close to Julian and the local activities. Great place for relaxing!

Highly recommended!

Glad we chose T's Place. It is just a quick drive to town and the location is very quiet. Thanks for a great stay!

Teresa’s place is amazing. It is very clean and the decor is rustic and beautiful. We enjoyed the beautiful setting. There are lots of nice personal touches throughout the cabin. We loved the fireplace. Highly recommend this cabin. We will definitely come back for another visit.

Great place and Teresa has everything you could ever need for a quiet weekend getaway!

It was Cozy and contained interesting Antiques. It was quiet cold when we arrived and I would recommend using the fireplace as your main source of heat. We went through 10 logs for 2 nights. The bathroom is awesome in terms of aesthetics but keep in mind it is country so hot water can be temperamental. The driveway can also be seen as a maneuver. However we found it lovely.

Great place, private and everything you need for a getting away weekend or romantic get away also very relaxing, and if you forget something she will mail it to you. I forgot my nice watch and she will mail it to me. Hope you enjoyed it like we did.

It’s a cute rustic hideaway. I perfect hideout for a couple to get away from it all and reset with one another. If you are a bird lover, you will be amazed at the feeders and all the various birds that come to visit. Teresa is amazing! She’ll do all she can to make your stay wonderful!

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful rustic retreat nestled in nature. There are many wonderful hikes nearby. Thank you Jennifer for the hospitality! David & Rose

Cozy, comfortable place in an interesting area barely over an hour from San Diego. Memo and Jennifer are very kind and attentive. The grounds are pretty and the nearby towns fun to explore. Recommended!

Jennifer and Memo's place was perfect for our family of three. We had everything that we needed. If you get a chance definitely book. Even our baby girl really enjoyed exploring the woods and hiking the trails in the area. We only met Memo but both Jennifer and him were helpful and quick to respond.

Great, quiet location in San Ysabel with lots of space. Easy access to Julian and an easy ride to the Safari park. Reasonably priced for the area. Jennifer and Memo are accommodating hosts. We look forward to returning in the future.

Beautiful, natural setting. Conscientious hosts.

Amazing proportion, great for kids to enjoy nature. We will be back soon to enjoy again.

My family has had a great little stay at this property. The playground was a nice touch, especially for families. We liked walking around the huge open space, and the hot tub was lovely after a cold day. We would definitely stay here again, very worth it for the price.

Beautiful property, great play structure for kids. They loved it!

Great secluded place excellent hosts

Memo and Jennifer are friendly and offer a unique experience at a bargain price.

Great place to stay. Co-host Memo was extremely helpful and it was great talking to him. I was even able to do my laundry there. Much better than expected!

Wonderful location close to town. Bill and Gina were very gracious hosts.

Comfortable bed, clean room, very private, close walk to town, and had a nice private patio area. Would highly recommend.

Great stay. Walking distance to main st Julian. Hosts were very nice and helpful would definitely recommend.

This was our second time staying here and like our first time it was perfect! We felt at home immediately. The location is the perfect distance to town and it's so easy to come and go. The room was clean and cozy and the bed is like sleeping on a cloud. Magda checked us in this round and she was so awesome, made us feel like old friends. We can't wait to return!

Nice walk from downtown Julian. Room was clean and homey with plenty of notes to help with common questions and concerns.

Great studio room with mini fridge and complimentary coffee. Microwave and larger fridge in the common room only a few steps from the room. Great value!

.

The hosts are very flexible, just communicate your plans and the stay is smooth. It’s a great room, coffee and a furnace made it phenomenal in the cold weather. Also it’s a 10 minute walk to town!

Beautiful space with a gorgeous view from the patio. Only 15 minute drive into downtown. Internet was a little slow, but everything else was perfect.

Great place on 4th hole of Ram's Hill; comfortable, spacious and well appointed. A great "home away from home" in Anza Borrego.

Spectacular views with jack rabbits hopping by and beautiful sunsets to enhance the peacefulness around.

Great place!!!!

Great house. Beautiful views. Very comfortable.

Me and my wife stayed here for a few nights over Thanksgiving and liked it so much we decided to extend the trip one night. The pictures look exactly as the place does the views are gorgeous and it’s close drive if you’d like to check out the Salton Sea and nearby areas. Michael was super helpful and responsive and we would definitely say again

Great view! Better than photos. Huge bedrooms.

We really enjoyed our mini vacation at the rental. The place is true to the pictures very well updated and decorated. It was very clean and had all the amenities. We would stay here again.

Truly it is glamping. The trailer has all the amenities and most trailers I have stayed in do not. Super cute place and the people are nice. Highly recommended

This little "glamping" trailer in Borrego Springs was wonderful. The trailer was clean and well-appointed and the park is in a great location. The host, Warren was exceptional and very friendly and responsive in his communication. I would highly recommend staying here.

We had a delightful stay in the trailer and everything was almost perfect. Our only real complaint was the lack of a handle on the hot water faucet in the shower which we did not discover until bedtime the first night. Fortunately, we had the number for an onsite person who could help us and he came immediately. Everything else was cozy, comfortable and convenient and we would definitely return. Perfect place to explore Anza Borrego from.

Very inspiring place, a wonder spot to rest after a god day of hiking or stargazing.

Clean place in a cool trailer park. Warren was quick to to respond to any questions we had.

Warren's "Glamper" was the perfect spot to stay for our Anza Borrego vacation. We were 5 min away from the top attractions in the city and 25 min away from Ocotillo Wells. The stay was exceptionally clean and had all the amenities listed in the post. Warren communicated with me during our entire trip to ensure we fully accommodated!

This camper is in a beautiful location - I brought my kids and service dog: I was charged a extra cleaning fee when dog hair was found in the camper - but I get it. I do think the hosts were great with communicating and were fair - would recommend to any friend or family member!

The Cabo was a great place for us to stay while in Borrego springs. We especially liked the patio at night. We had everything we needed and would come back again. Thanks Warren!

This cabin is so peaceful and cozy. It was the perfect weekend getaway to relax and enjoy the fresh air. We would definitely stay here again.

Second time staying here. Perfect cabin for a weekend getaway to Julian.

A fantastic and fun getaway very close to downtown Julian! Very cute cabin with a great layout.

It was a perfect place for my husband and I for a weekend get away. Very nice home in the perfect location for the town.

Great stay at a cozy little cabin.

A super comfortable place to spend a pleasant time with family. My family and I were fascinated with the cabin and the stay.

Perfect! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Awesome place to stay, not too far from downtown Julian

Had a great time. It is an great location for both hiking Palm Canyon and heading in to dinner after a day of hiking.

We were lucky to find this mid-century gem! The location in "downtown" Borrego Springs was perfect, the house was spacious and had a great view. The kitchen was well stocked, everything was clean, and it was quiet and peaceful. We will definitely be coming back for next year's wildflower bloom.

(;

Great value! Amazing location! Really easy to get to everything that Anza-Borrego has to offer. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful little cozy place right next to the heart of town all the amenities one needs to enjoy a relaxing time out in the desert. Can’t wait to come back and stay here again

We loved the roof for stargazing. The decor was delightful! My favorite part of the trip though was observing all the animal passing through.

The house is really spacious and well equipped, and is set in a quiet neighbourhood. Communication and checkin were seamless. The swimming pool was sparkling clean too. The location is perfect for visiting anza Borrego Park. In short, we loved it and would very much recommend it.

A great place to get away from everything for a weekend. Lots of space and even a supermarket isn't that far away.

Three Peaks is just as described and provided my boyfriend and I with the perfect weekend getaway. The views are outstanding, kitchen has everything you need and the wood stove is amazing! We brought our dog and he just loved it. Julian is an adorable town, we are already planning our next trip back and we will definitely plan to stay here again as well as recommend to friends! Thanks again Shirley and Rich!

Three Peaks was just as advertised, and was totally perfect for a last-minute weekend trip with my parents. Everything was so easy, and we appreciated the no-frills simplicity. The woodstove worked like a dream, and they left exactly enough firewood for two nights. And what a view!

Lovely house and location

This was one of the best experiences that I've had on Airbnb. The hosts were great and very responsive. The place was spotless, remote, quite, with great views. The fireplace was a great addition. We loved it!

Very cool spot! Easy to get to and very relaxing

Phantastic desert view from lovley vintage trailer. Very quiet. Nice community, heated pool and jacuzzi for stargazing. Best hikes in the desert park possible. Will always come back to this magic place on earth.

The gumdrop trailer is located at the edge of the vintage RV park with incredible mountain views! Warren was available if needed, but everything we needed was already provided! I only wish we had stayed longer, so much to explore in the area!

Great location and an amazing host who is very responsive. A great value for the price!

Gumdrop is a cozy, comfy trailer in a quiet part of a desert sands. Open desert is right out the door with beautiful views all around. Highly recommend if you’re up for a fun experience.

Great place to spend a weekend getaway!

As a seeker of alternative lodging during my travels, this was up there as one my favorites. The accommodation is a special experience in itself, but the greater site community and the surrounding landscape made our stay here truly exceptional.

First time ever sleeping in a Teardrop & really liked it. Even with heat, which obviously I knew about it, it was a good stay. Exactly what I wanted. Quite, calm & enough for me alone. Had a great experience cooking on the open with the desert view. The pool and bathrooms were perfect. I was a little bummed that the light string on top of the camping area was not working but still a cool place to relax. Went alone and still felt safe and comfy.

Awesome and quiet place. the fireplace is a plus on cold weather

Very cute converted home. Wouldn't call it a tiny home but more of a very cozy cabin. Plenty of room for 2 adults and a pup. The wood stove works like a champ. Had a good stay, and the pups enjoyed it too.

Fantastic stay! Lovely hospitality. Easy access to Julian. When I go back, I’ll book with them again!

The tiny house was super cute and cozy! Very dog friendly, even offered doggy bags! The property was amazing! Good view of the land and nice for watching stars at night. Bonus points- they have a friendly horse that just roams the property.

Great hosts and a wonderful experience. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy and authentic vibe.

This place was everything we wanted it to be, exactly as described, remote area perfect for a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle. Shirley and Rich were great hosts and very responsive, they let our pup stay with us and even helped us when he got out! They really went above and beyond to make our weekend special. I absolutely recommend! P.s. bring a carrot or apple for Trigger, he’s super sweet!

Julian Pines Tiny House is a great place to stay in Julian. It's a little quirky and well, tiny, so perhaps not for everyone but we enjoyed our stay. Trigger the horse is a sweetheart, there were plenty of deer and the neighborhood owl was in good voice. The wood stove keeps the cabin nicely warm and the wifi worked great. What more could you want?

Great tiny house! My boyfriend and I wanted a small weekend getaway and this was the perfect place and pet friendly as well! We had 2 dogs with us and the house size was just right! There is a dog fee of $25 per dog, so I think everyone should be aware, should you choose to bring your dogs! Shirley was gracious enough to provide doggy bags and food/water bowls for both dogs! There is also firewood provided for the wood stove which WILL heat up the entire home! Totally awesome! Comfy bed and clean sheets! Would highly recommend for a quiet getaway in charming town of Julian!
