We loved our stay for the most part. It was quiet and friendly management. Beds were great! Two things that would improve our stay would be a way to get hot water sooner and a small microwave would be nice for those leftovers.

We had an amazing stay at the Apple Tree Inn in Julian, CA, from March 14th to 16th. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The service was outstanding—everyone went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The inn itself is charming, clean, and well-maintained, with a peaceful atmosphere that perfectly complements Julian’s small-town charm. The rooms were cozy, and the location was great—close to town but still quiet enough for a relaxing getaway. If you’re looking for a warm and inviting place to stay in Julian, we highly recommend the Apple Tree Inn. We’ll definitely be returning!

The bed was not comfortable. Our heads felt like they were sloped donward from our feet. The pillows were too puffy. We used our own pillows. We enjoyed the room We were very happy with the place being petty friendly. Our pup enjoyed the large yard in the back. We enjoyed being central to Julian and Santa Ysabel. We hiked the Pacific Crest Trail up to Eagle Rock and explored Anza Borrego park. The staff were very friendly and provided very good service. I want to add photos but the app will not allow me?

Out of season stay was perfect here for my sister and I. Stayed in end of February so weather was a mix...cold and rainy, foggy or partly cloudy. Check in was easy (with a code) and practical. We arrived after office hours. All rooms clean, cute kitchenette, all appliances in good shape. I loved the fresh smelling sheets. Host was quick to respond to any inquiries or issues, like how to work the remote control for the heater, (we are not tech savvy) which they came to our room to immediately show us how to work it. This was great because it was a cold night 31F. Efficient and they did an excellent job of making sure we were comfortable, had enough towels, or needed anything. Highly recommend!!! (Restaurant and bar next door, did not try but nice to know there was a place one could dine without having to drive into town (Julian several miles away) if one was too tired.)

Disliked: Room comfort
There was smalls things that should be fixed in the hotel room. 1. TV had white spots through out the screen, which it made it hard to watch tv clearly. 2. The cable wire going into the room from the wall had an open electrical box exposed thru the drywall. 3. Shower curtain was moldy and tub appeared to be dirty and dingy as well. 4. How I am grateful that you supplied shampoo and conditioner. The dispensers did not work. 5. Headboard was lose and everytime you moved in the bed it would bang the headboard into the wall. We hung a towel between the wall and the headboard and that seemed to help. 6. The mattress was so soft or broken down that it sagged in the middle and now I have had back issues ever since.

It's ok

I'm not a fan of the electronic check in and out but I'm sure a lot of people are. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. We ran the water for 5 minutes and couldn't get any hot for showers which was annoying. It's a good location.

9/10 - Would Stay Again

Easy check-in process, quiet environment, comfortable beds and in the cold later evening/night the heater was a welcomed, awesome and easy to work amenity. The smart TV had all of the apps which was fantastic with no issues. I loved that tasty restaurants are within walking distance (very convenient) and downtown is only 3 miles up. I stayed one night. The only thing I had to take a star off for is the water in my room took a very long time to heat up, the water pressure was low in the shower, and didn't get hot. Other than that, I was comfortable and enjoyed my stay. Knowing all of this, I would still come back.
