"This is a unique property with a gorgeous view. We loved the clawfoot jacuzzi tub in our room, as well as the steam/shower enclosure. Bed was very comfortable. We just needed a place to sleep one night near Julian, but this place operates more like a retreat center. The staffperson who checked us in was very friendly and helpful. It was my husband's birthday, so he started listing all of the things they could offer us that we could/should do to celebrate. At first I figured he was just being helpful and enthusiastic. But then it started to really feel like a lot of upselling. He offered lava cake, pushed the food, tried to set us up with massage and reiki treatments, said he was going to book us for a private jacuzzi/sauna session... these things seemed like lovely gestures but it wasn't clear what the fees might be, if any. I just said that we would take all the info to the room and decide what, if any of these many offerings, we would take him up on. Once we got to our room and saw that we had a steam shower and great jacuzzi tub in the room - plus there was an outdoor jacuzzi nearby that any guest could use - we didn't understand why we would need the private jacuzzi/sauna package that he insisted he book for us. So I asked, and turns out, of course there was a fee for that, but he never mentioned it until I asked. This is what put me off. Do not tell me you are going to book something for me that will incur a fee, without even asking me if I want it, or revealing the fee."

"The lodge was perfect for my motorcycle trip to Julian. Perfect place to wind down after a long day of riding in the area. If you are not a social person it might not be the place for you, because all common areas are to be shared. (Living room, kitchen, deck). But if you are passing through and wand a place with incredible views, peace, quiet and good coffee in the morning, this place is great. Hickers, Moto Riders, Cyclists. Feels like the right vibe."

"Amazing place, very welcoming stuff! The only thinking I wish the property would be maintained little bit better- I mean it is old and swimming pools need some reconditioning, but it is still FIVE STARS EXPERIENCE! We are going to come back!"

"It’s awesome! You can tell the owner has an eye for design and likes nice things. It’s in a great spot too."
