Jim and Julie, both natives of Southern
California, met years back while working for
Coco's Family Restaurant and were married in 1992.
After working in the restaurant business for
almost 10 years, they dreamed of finding a new
path, something they could do together, working
hard every day. "Wouldn't a B&B be cool?" Julie
remembers asking, "Maybe in Idaho, Alaska,
anywhere!" It was Jim's parents who encouraged
them to visit Julian, talk to other innkeepers, to
see if this was the type of life style that they
had hoped for in their lives together. Within
months of their initial search, they found Villa
Idaleen, a running B&B in the townsite of Julian
that had been on the market for over 5 years, just
waiting for them to come along. Jim and Julie
took a leap of faith, quit their jobs and bought
the property in 1995. Since then, they had built
Eaglenest into one of the most successful B&B's in
Julian, and have enjoyed their quality of life
immensely!

In 2008, wanting to provide a family and pet
friendly establishment, they embarked on a new
venture, An Eagle in the Pines Cabin, a fabulous
mountain home that has become the perfect
compliment to the B&B. Offering the ultimate in
privacy and peace, An Eagle in the Pines is just 1
mile from the town of Julian and is perfect for a
couple, groups and families. They knew this was
the next step in their successful journey
together.

"We were both raised on the beaches of Southern
California, but were faithful that the mountain
community of Julian was the right place for us.
Our goal was to create a Bed & Breakfast home for
guests to enjoy the utmost in comfort and care.
We are thrilled to have An Eagle in the Pines
Cabin to offer to our guests as well. With an
awesome amount of work in front of us each day, we
can't imagine what else could compare to the
lifestyle we get to live together. In partnership
and with our Goldens, we can achieve anything!”
