Time Traveler Retreat Julian Cabin



Built in the 50’s it is sitting on 2 parcels and is over ½ acre in size.  We also have 2 other cabins for rent in Julian for larger groups.
 The outhouse that you see was used when it was first built and now is for storage.
 The original owner built the house himself and it was originally on piers alone with no other foundation!
 There is a folder in the bedroom closet of the house over the years.
 The decorations were here when we bought it so we kept them to preserve the house’s uniqueness.
 We treasure this house which is nestled amongst the trees and has so many beautiful birds that visit.
 Many turkeys love to stop by too!
 If you hear the deep cooing from the monster doves (who are very shy) you can try to spot one.  They are amazing.
   

We really hope you love it as much as we do.

Manzanita Village Retreat

We are co-founders of Ordinary Dharma and Five Changes, and stewards of this land at Manzanita Village Retreat.

Thirty years ago we were searching for a place where the land itself would be an active support in our of work facilitating workshops and retreats. We were looking for land that was within easy reach of San Diego and Los Angeles, while still being remote and far from the noise of highways. The land is infused with the presence of the thousands of people who have come here for transformation and renewal.

We are now open to visitors from HipCamp -- we look forward to your visit

The Eyrie Farm

We're in a farming town with 35+ vineyards nearby.

We'd like to offer a great site to camp to those who want to get away from the big city. The Eyrie Farm is named for all the bird life around: Red-tailed Hawks nesting in nearby Eucalyptus, Prairie Falcons, wild California Quail, songbirds, plus our own turkeys, chickens, ducks and quail we raise for meat and eggs. Come stay with us and hike or tour the many wineries in the town of Ramona!

=&gt; REMINDER! There is no guest toilet, you BYO or pack-it-out. Thank you!

Farm fresh eggs, when available, free-range pasture raised, $7/dozen

Breakfast example: farm fresh chicken eggs, homegrown zucchini from our neighbors

Getthing things prepped for dinner. There a picnic tables near the yurts that you can use.

Stallion Oaks Ranch (Retreat)

In 2003, the Grosvenor Family Foundation donated the 238-acre retreat property located in Descanso to The Unity Center. Much of the land, including more than 12 structures were destroyed during the Cedar Fires in October of 2003. In the years since the fire, members of our community have lovingly tended to the land and slowly nurtured the trees and flowers. The result is acres of pristine wilderness, with hiking trails, a small lake and even a hill of daffodils that bloom every Spring.Our vision is to create a world-class retreat center and campground that promotes spiritual renewal and personal growth in a natural setting, by providing a location for education, inner reflection, positive recreation and acceptance. The Ranch is owned by The Unity Center, a progressive spiritual community that emphasizes living consciously and making a positive difference in the world. This is a sacred and special place . So whether you're planning a retreat, a wedding or a special event, we hope you'll come away from the Ranch feeling renewed.
