At this elevation the magnificent pines of Julian give way to a High Chaparral landscape with native Junipers, Desert Willows and mixed with Agave, Cacti and Creosote Bush giving the abundant wildlife cover from heat and cold. The Main Highway is the Great Overland Stage Route of 1849, from where a private drive takes you to a secluded cottage in Adobe Style and dedicated to the Native Indian Kokopelli figure, the flute player who brings luck, charm and mischief. Julian, the Gold Mining Town, beckons to be explored just 20 minutes to the west, Borrego Springs, 20 minutes to the north east, offers the desert ambience with golf courses, club houses and restaurants. To the south you might try a dip in the Agua Caliente Hot Springs, or experience the freedom of soaring with a sailplane from Warner Springs Sail Plane Airport 25 minutes to the northwest. For the R&R enthusiast there are many books to read, movies to watch, a private access to the Pacific Crest Hiking Trail and the Mountain in back of the property to be climbed. You might enjoy the attached patio with a perfect view of the most magnificent sunsets, dipping the mountain ranges into the bluest blue of nature's palette. It might even inspire you to bring your painting easel, camera or sketch pad and record these moments on paper or film. At night you are in Dark Sky Country and the Milky Way offers spectacular picture-taking possibilities. We cater to professional photographers who bring their own telescopes. If you are a private pilot you might try taking a picture of your plane, tied down next to the airstrip, bathed in the gold of the setting sun, you might even spot a coyote exploring its tires. A quiet spot in the High Desert just under two hours from downtown San Diego and 3 1/2 hours from Los Angeles. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Stereo - TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio - Telescope ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Smoking outside on patio w/ comfortable seating ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Spelunking nearby - Swimming nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 600 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93680000/93678900/93678810/1bda48d5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Weber's Woods Cabin- Apple Days are here!
