LUXURY LAKE HOUSE & TREEHOUSE DAYBED 5-STAR QUALITY- Plush beds for 10

WHEN WE STAY AT A LODGE, WE EXPECT THE VERY BEST AND THAT IS WHAT WE OFFER TO OUR GUESTS. ABSOLUTELY THE VERY BEST VIEWS AT LAKE CUYAMACA JULIAN. LUXURY BEDS FOR OPTIMUM COMFORT AND A PREMIUM ENCLOSED DAYBED IN A TREEHOUSE-LIKE SETTING AMONG THE TREES WITH A STREAM RUNNING BENEATH IT! FULLY FENCED LAWN AREA WITH FIRE PIT OVERLOOKING LAKE, MOUNTAINS, MEADOWS. THE LAWN AREA OVER LOOKING THE LAKE IS A MANICURED PRIVATE PARK SETTING.

Lake Cuyamaca Four Seasons Lake House...At 5000 feet above sea level, this is a 2500 square foot mountain home with the modern amenities of a fine hotel. Always Maintained & Meticulously Clean. We furnish the absolute best Featherbeds from Frontgate to ensure that our guests receive an excellent plush- night's rest. We often receive guest requests asking what type of beds and bedding we have because they are that comfortable. We offer true quality beds and quality bedding. No pullouts, No bunkbeds, No sleeping pads, but only true comfort. Plus another 1000 square feet of outside decking with BBQs overlooking Lake Cuyamaca. A large manicured private lawn area and fire pit with waterfall-stream running on one end. This is truly a private park paradise where you can enjoy mesmerizing views from the main level deck, the private upper deck or from the expansive manicured lawn. You can have a treehouse experience inside our 3-person Babmar Sunbrella fabric Daybed. It is fully encapsulated like a very large birdcage and it is actually like a treehouse on a raised hexagon-shaped deck in the middle of the trees with a running stream beneath it. It is the most relaxing place for reading, napping, or meditation.

We have tables for the outside decks so that you can enjoy Breakfasts, Brunches, and Dinners while facing and overlooking the entire lake, mountains, and meadows. Or Picnic on the lawn while enjoying the same incredible view. Imagine, meals, drinks, fellowship, at the deck tables while gazing over the lake, meadows, and mountains. It is a truly SPECTACULAR setting!!! It is the perfect place for a family gathering, a romantic get-a-way, or a gathering of good friends. Most of our guests are repeat guests.

As described, Not only can you wine and dine overlooking the entire lake, you can do so while watching and listening to our 25-foot waterfall stream with a walkover bridge leading down to the fire pit area where you can roast s'mores or enjoy a bottle of wine while sitting around a warm oak fire. The owners have planted hundreds of flower bulbs, flowers from Oregon, and flowering trees for Spring and Summer blooms.

Whether you are a hiker, mountain biker, fishing enthusiast, nature lover, star-gazer, or just need some time to decompress and relax with family and friends, this Lake House will fulfill those needs.

The Cuyamaca 4-Seasons Lake House has three large Master suites in addition to a fourth den for sleeping purposes. The Featherbeds are luxurious as the owners believe it imperative that guests get a great night's sleep.
There is room to sleep 10 in the following bed areas:
Master #1 has a King Size bed with premium featherbedding & down feather pillows. The French double doors open to a large private balcony that overlooks the mountains, meadows, and lake. The French balcony doors have an invisible screens that close so that mountain breezes can flow through your room if you like.

Master #2 has a Queen size featherbed with premium Pottery Barn bedding and another armoire. It also has a screened sliding door that opens to a separate balcony area with incredible views.

Master #3 has a King size featherbed in addition to a Queen size bed and a standard twin bed. All bedrooms are large with ample room.
Each bedroom has a private bathroom.
The den area has a standard twin size bed.
The home has central air-conditioning and forced air heating. In addition, there is a Large high-end log fireplace in the Great Room that will warm the entire area. It is auto-fueled by gas and it only takes the push of a button to start.
The incredible views and the floor to ceiling rock fireplace in the Great Room make for a romantic setting or a cozy get-together. The floors are polished hardwood and the Great Room has southwest decor in addition to a 55" large screen TV. STARLINK allows for streaming programming. All insulated windows focus on the lake and the spacious views. STARLINK is the very best satellite internet in speed and streaming. The house features a shuffleboard table for competitive fun! The lake house is not lacking for anything. First-time guests are frequently surprised about the amount of amenities. We pride ourselves at making sure all of our guest's expectations are met and surpassed.

The housekeeper maintains this home in spotless condition. The kitchen has polished wood floors and granite counter-tops. It has full appliances, serving pieces, cookware, ice-maker, dishwasher, 2 microwaves, compactor….. about everything you would find in your own home.

Two large outdoor BBQ grills are located on a far end of the viewing deck. It is the perfect item for grilling steaks, chicken, veggies, or even the trout you catch from the lake. You can have your dinner inside the home at the dining table or you can have a group dinner on the outside deck overlooking the lake. The spacious outdoor deck has even been extended as a hexagon into the middle of a group of trees where there is a huge covered Babmar Daybed. The Daybed is in the middle of the trees over the running stream so that you can enjoy an peaceful setting. From there, you step down to a bridge that covers the water-stream. Continue across the bridge to a floral garden area overlooking the entire lake.

In addition to the cleanliness of this home, the factor that truly sets it apart are the million dollar views. All areas of the home are COMPLETE views of the Lake Cuyamaca, Stonewall Peak, Cuyamaca Peak, Middle Peak, the Laguna Mountains, as well as the meadows. Every window has a Masterpiece view. These incredible views are actually from the lake house itself. You don't have to walk or drive to other locations to experience this. The experience is from every location at the lake house. It is no wonder that various travelers stop at the corner of this home to take in the awesome views and to take photographs.

The Cuyamaca Four Seasons Lake House is in the Cuyamaca Resort district and it borders Cuyamaca State Park. This State Park is the jewel of San Diego County and it draws enthusiasts who come for hiking, boating & fishing, bird and nature watching, star & night-sky gazing, and horseback riding & mountain bike riding (on designated trails). The hiking views are breath-taking. You will be able to overlook the Anza Borrego desert, see south into Mexico, North to San Jacinto near Palm Springs, West to the Ocean, ... or you can see all at once from a high vantage point. Deer and Wild Turkeys are routinely seen on and about the property and along the meadows and mountain sides. You will most likely see these animals up close as you relax on the decks. In addition, there are bobcat, marmots, raccoons, and foxes. There are mountain lions that live in these mountains because they feed on the deer herds. For this reason, It is best to be practical when hiking and do not travel alone and do not permit children to wander by themselves on the mountain trails. The Cuyamacas are an area of incredible beauty but it is a wilderness that is home to various animals.

There are birds of every kind that surround you including, Hawks and various raptors, Woodpeckers, Jays, Canadian Geese, Loons to name a few. Bird feeders are installed for close up viewing. These feeders are on telescopic poles so that our guests can view nature at eye level. There are also a pair of Bald Eagles that live in the trees near the lake. It is a special treat to see and hear the Bald Eagles chirping while they soar over the lake.

The back country night sky is something that must be seen any time of the year but especially during the meteor showers. Often times, we bring out the Celestron telescope for that.

For more leisurely pursuits, you can go to the old gold-mining town of Julian, about 9 miles up the road. Once there, you can peruse quaint shops, visit the winery, go on gold mine tours, stop by the soda fountain, or indulge in fine or casual dining. Of course, Julian is best known for home-made Apple Pie and you have your choice of several tasty pie making bakeries. But we know where the absolute best one is and we gladly share the location with our guests. (Hint: it isn't on Main Street where tourists gather.)

As mentioned, we have very comfortable real beds for 10 and the lake house can accommodate more if needed. (In this case, the owners would need to be contacted to discuss these arrangements as there is a $20.00 fee for each additional guest.)

We welcome you to the Four Seasons House in Julian Lake Cuyamaca and we know that you will be mesmerized by the views, pleased with the amenities, and energized by the beauty and nature that surrounds you.

5 Stars - Perfect Getaway!
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home in Lake Cuyamaca! The house was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, with plenty of room for our group. The beds were cozy, and everyone had their own space to relax. The view of the lake was absolutely breathtaking – we loved spending time on the porch, taking it all in. The house was also well-stocked with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to extra towels. The host was incredibly accommodating and responsive, making sure we had everything we needed for a smooth stay. We had such a great time and will definitely be returning to this perfect lakeside retreat. Highly recommend!

Worth the view
The best part of this house is the view. We spent most of our days lounging on the deck, painting, eating and hanging out. The house is every amenity you can think of too, fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms, and beautiful outdoor grounds. Strong wifi in an area with little cell service. Could not recommend highly enough!

Really enjoyed our stay here.

The view is spectacular. The house is exactly as pictured and we can happily report the beds are as comfortable as they say :) We all slept great. This was a wonderful place to stay for two families! We felt welcome and it was the retreat we all needed.

Fantastic weekend getaway!
Our group of 8 had a fantastic June weekend getaway. The view of the lake and surrounding mountains and trees were stunning. The long back porch was our main hangout. Didn't even leave the property, it was so relaxing! The home was clean and very accommodating. Kitchen worked very well. Beds were comfy. Just as advertised. Mike was very responsive for the questions we had. FYI cell phone service can be iffy at times. Our group had a GREAT time and hope to return in '25!

Beautiful views, comfortable house
The house was very comfortable for 6 adults. Lots of nice places to sit, whether to join the group or be off by yourself for a while. The house was also very functional, no problem getting the fireplace, heat, or anything else we needed to work. We didn't really cook so can't say anything about stove, etc. The last night and morning it got pretty cold, windy, and rainy, but no problems being comfortable in the house. All in all a very pleasant place for a family from all over the country to get together.

Tranquil stay with toddlers and infants
We were pleasantly surprised with this cabin. There was plenty of room for the 5 children’s that joined us on this trip to run around and play. The owners have a supply of toys hidden in a large walk in closet upstairs that we’re perfect of our children’s ages. The views are spectacular. Drinking coffee early morning on the porch watching the sun rise was so relaxing. There is a small patch of grass on the property our children really loved running on. The bonfire pit was my daughters favorite part. The cabin is equipped with almost everything you would need on your stay. We appreciated how responsive and respectful the owners are. We had issues with the WiFi all weekend so the owner purchased more data for us. He promised to update the WiFi the week after we checked out so on our next stay we’ll be able to stream.
