Two Sisters’ Cottage

Late February 2015: We weren’t planning to stay over in Julian (we had planned to camp down in Anza Borrego State Park), but thanks to a cold front and a storm that moved in we ended up looking for someplace to hole up for a couple of days while we waited for the storm to pass. We lucked across Two Sisters’ on Unilocal,and made a last-​minute reservation for two nights. Well… we loved Julian and Two Sisters’ so much we wound up extending our stay to 5 days/​4 nights. As an added bonus, Teri and her husband Rich were the most gracious and accommodating hosts anyone could ask for. They went over and above to make sure we were comfortable and all our needs were met.
The cottage itself is spacious, yet cozy as can be. Neat as a pin and clean as a whistle!!! The gas fireplace in the front room is positively delightful. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and utensils. I can’t imagine why anyone would give TSC a negative review.
The space heaters for the bathroom/​bedrooms are quite adequate (it was quite cold outside during our stay), and there are down comforters in the closets. The neighborhood is walk/​run friendly. Our dog loved it too.
The price is more than reasonable for the area, and the pet fee was the least expensive we saw. I would HIGHLY recommend Two Sisters’ to anyone that asks.
As far as the town itself goes, we went into a number of the shops and never felt like we were being watched over unnecessarily. The merchants we interacted with were accommodating and friendly.

The cottage is in the absolute PERFECT location, you can walk everywhere. Adorable, clean, just exactly how I’d have it should I have a small cottage as a vacation rental. Really glad that it was recommended to me!

We’ve been coming to Julian for nearly 30 years, an average of 3 times a year. It is one of our favorite get-​aways, just 2-​hours from our home in Orange Country. We’ve stayed in many rentals over the years, and Two Sisters Cottage is one of the nicest. The owners are lovely people. The house has charming decorations. The gas fire place heats up the front of the house just fine. We prefer the bedrooms to be cooler for sleeping. The portable heaters work well if you need to warm up the bathroom or bedroom. The furniture and beds are comfy. We don’t use the dishwasher; we hand wash our dishes. They have a TV, DVD, and plenty of games to play. They have a lovely front yard with furniture to sit under the tree and people watch. They have double-​paned windows. You’re right in town with easy access to shopping and eating.
The people who run the shops are very nice and we always stop to visit with them. Many of the restaurants and cafes are «average» but we have found a few standouts: Romano’s Italian, Soups and Such, Jeremy’s on the Hill, Wynola Pizza Express, Apple Alley, and Grannies.
Miner’s Diner has the BEST malts and shakes ever!!! We also love the Tea House.
We love Julian and Two Sisters Cottage.
This is not a resort, this is a homey, small town hangout.
