The Grounds:  20 acres of nature to explore or simply kick your feet up and listen to an array of birds greet you as you sip your morning coffee on a large porch. After dark, stargaze while listening to the soothing music of rustling leaves. Surrounded by county, state and national parks, the grounds of this gem in Julian is a one of kind sanctuary only an hour away from the city. This city escape was carefully selected to be where Cahuilla and Kumeyaay Native American tribes once roamed. The rocks in the outdoor space have grinding holes (mortars) once used for food preparation by the tribes. Perfect for musicians, creative individuals and meditation. The tranquil space makes for a grounding experience allowing one's own creativity to flow to the surface. Water:  The grounds consist of 20 acres. All water is sourced from the on site well. Wildlife:  The location is also home to wildlife animals, such as deer, wild turkey, blue jay, falcon, hawk, woodpecker, roadrunner, humming birds, horse and many more. Latitude:  The grounds located in Julian are exactly on the 33 degree latitude.

    Regenerating weekend
    I had such a nice time staying here. I was supposed to meet my husband for the weekend but his work schedule changed, so it ended up being a solo trip. It turned out to he a lovely spot for some quiet time, and I enjoyed drinking tea with the big window open and listening to birds and breezes. There were lots of thoughtful touches in the space and the property was beautiful and welcoming. I hope to stay here again sometime!

    Cutest, most artisanal and affordable place to stay in Julian! We didn't have time to ask how to get the stove to work. Hosts were very communicative and helpful!

    Great view. Convenient deck spot.
    A great spot to camp. Lots of deer and horses roaming around in the field. The view is great. The deck can fit one large tent, maybe two small ones. There’s a small flat spot just below the deck where you can put another tent. That’s about it though. It’s on the side of a hill so flat spots are hard to come by. The deck chairs were falling apart so bring some camp chairs. There’s no fires so you may want to bring something to keep you warm at night.

    Property is seriously beautiful and wildlife is abundant. The deck was a perfect spot to enjoy sunset and sunrise. We had a very minor issue with arriving, and bathroom/water pipe was a bit further from camp than desired, but overall a positive experience.

    Great
    My husband and I tent camp quite often. The amount of things we have to take for tent camping takes a lot of fun out of the experience. We loved our stay atThe DEER SHED ( cabin). Unsure what exactly to what to bring ,we realized that we over packed with too much unnecessary items. We were so surprised when we got there to see how much was provided. Towels for the shower, shampoo, conditioner, and dishes , pots and pans dish soap.The cabin had it all. It had a cozy down comforter and soft sheets. We loved the roll-up window. We watch dear, wild turkeys, and cows nearby. It was wonderful sitting there looking at the vineyard across the fence. Quiet, peaceful, relaxing and comfortable. The bank leading up to the cabin was a little steep for my knees, but manageable. We're hoping to be able to come back soon. We highly recommend THE DEER SHED. 👍👍
