About this property

Sacred Mountain Retreat - Julian, CA

SACRED MOUNTAIN RETREAT is located in the historic town ofJulian, CA. Our retreat includes three well-appointed residences for up to 18 individuals to enjoy; The Main House, Carriage House, and Barn. All accommodations provide cozy comfort and privacy year-round.

365 degree views of lush unspoiled nature can be enjoyed from every point of our countryside retreat. Relax by the pool, take a dip one of our two private jacuzzis, or experience unparalleled stargazing on the lawn.

MAIN COTTAGE
The charming, ivy covered main cottage is comprised of three bedrooms and two bathrooms. There are hardwood floors and French windows throughout. The cottage has a sunny, fully equipped Viking kitchen with solid cherry counter tops and a large European farm sink. The living area offers ample seating and a wood burning stove. The master suite has a California King bed, separate sitting area and a private spa tub. All natural materials and white, crisp Egyptian cotton sheets ensure a peaceful nights rest. The bright and airy secondary bedroom has two full beds and ample closet space. The third bedroom has a queen bed and French doors that open out onto the enchanting, secret garden.

CARRIAGE HOUSE
Steps away from the main cottage is a vine covered, two-story carriage house. The individual suites are fully equipped with refrigerators, coffee makers and half baths. The downstairs unit has two fantastic queen beds, farmhouse table, and private patio. The Zen inspired upstairs unit boasts a King bed, twin bed, and private sitting area.

RUSTIC BARN
The Wine Country inspired rustic barn is a treasure. An open floor plan, centered by a custom-made, solid Californian walnut table, invites you to dine with friends and family. The Viking kitchen is well equipped and a wood-burning fireplace is featured in the sitting area. The wraparound deck with stunning views of our “Valley of the Moon” and Volcan Mountain's is ideal for stargazing, yoga or taking a dip in the spa. A spiral staircase accesses the bedroom upstairs, which has a California king bed and a queen bed.

THE GROUNDS
A long, private driveway, is your access to the gated property. There is a large Brazilian, rosewood deck in front of the main cottage with expansive vistas across the meadows to Volcan Mountain, encouraging guests to relax and enjoy the serenity and endless sunsets. This private residence also provides a 40 foot saline pool and spa, Smith & Hawken teak furniture and a secluded entertainment area with barbeque. Half way up the stairs to the main deck there is a pool house, which has a stainless steel refrigerator/freezer, farmhouse sink, serving area and bathroom. Outside the pool house is an incredible outdoor rain head shower. The middle tier is home to the pool and an expansive, sweeping lawn area, flanked on one side by a grape and wisteria covered pergola. A custom-made iron & rustic wood dining table underneath seats 14 guests. The seasonal organic vegetable garden is in front of the sweet playhouse and wild French lavender bed. Abundant wildlife such as deer and wild turkey share these pathways with you.

Christmas holiday
Loved this property. Owners were so welcoming. Fresh flowers and fruit. We felt appreciated. Check in and out process was easy. Internet was bad. However we understand that was secondary to weather. Everything else was perfect.

Great isolated stay in Julian
Great property for larger group - lots of space to spread out, with great amenities and meeting spaces. The barn was perfect for dinners - wish it had been warmer to take advantage of the awesome outdoor dining facilities!

Amazing stay and it SNOWED!
Property was amazing. We overpacked because they had EVERYTHING we could possibly need. We especially loved the set up of the various bedrooms which gave us all some privacy while still being close by. It would be great to have the hot tubs heated upon arrival, but beyond that, it was perfect. We hope to come back soon!

A perfect gathering place
We spent six glorious days at Sacred Mountain. The location, the views were spectacular, and the place carefully designed to encourage gathering, as well as offering plenty of quiet spaces to spread out. We were welcomed with a giant bowl of fruit and wine, and snacks in the pantry. It was fun to have different outdoor spaces to enjoy at different times, heavenly to swim under the canopy of trees, fun to visit the horses down the road and taste-test Julian apple pies. The manager was very helpful and prompt in responding to requests. All three generations of us loved every minute.

Magical Place to Have a Wedding
I had my wedding here in May 2018 and it was amazing. The staff were helpful in the set up and breakdown of the event, and the property is something out of a feature in a Home & Garden magazine. The interior of the residences/buildings on the property are so tastefully designed, even hanging out indoors feels like a luxury. It is well taken care of and very well stocked - we will be making it a tradition to come back every anniversary. Thanks Marti, Megan, and Robyn for the outstanding trip and service. You made our special day one that we will remember for the rest of our lives :)
