The room was very clean, however there were things removed from the walls which revealed the last coat of paint (room #4) Staff was very pleasant, and their choice of music in the waiting area was excellent.

Because of staffing issues that seem to be everywhere in Julian there is no chef, so no dinner at the lodge. Also other things like outside BBQs have been eliminated. It is a beautiful property for a small event, but would take some coordination of outside vendors. It is our new favorite.

Beautiful well maintained grounds. Liked the extra activities like fusball and cornhole. Didn't like that the shower didn’t drain well. The furniture in the room was different than the online photo and not as quaint but still clean.

I'm a city guy and was worried about the lack of options in Julian, CA, which looked like it was, frankly, in the middle of nowhere. There are no big hotels here because it's a small town away from the cities for people to enjoy nature and a quieter vibe. I paid up to stay at Orchard Hill compared to the other choices around town, and I'm really satisfied with the decision. We stayed in Lodge Room 9, which is one of the rooms in the Main lodge building (as opposed to the individual cottages). In some ways, it felt like a hotel room (albeit only one of ten) because it was in the main lodge. It wasn't really big, but more than adequate for sleeping. It fit two people fine. Definitely not a modern aesthetic (she told me they would upgrade to key cards soon), but everything was clean. There was a small nostalgic TV but we still watched on it from bed. A wall unit A/C. The bathroom had a bright skylight that was cool. Our only small issue was the deadbolt on our door wasn't working well, but the staff noted it for their maintenance staff. The door still locked anyways so we were fine. The staff were super friendly and nice, and checked on us any time they saw us. I didn't eat the included breakfast as we only stayed one night and we slept in til checkout time. All in all, good stay, and would recommend especially if you want something clean and comfortable and if you're used to nicer hotels.

We wanted to celebrate a significant birthday and looked at so many different options across Southern California. However, when we spoke with Orchard Hill--and more specifically, Becky, who gets a special thank you--it just felt so clear that this was going to be the right choice for us. That absolutely turned out to be true. Our stay was great and everyone we interacted with at the inn was warm, accommodating, and professional. They even went the extra mile with some really nice touches to add to the birthday celebration. We couldn't be more thrilled that we chose to spend this special weekend at Orchard Hill.
