The room was clean, the staff was friendly; however the tv didn’t work for most of our stay, there was poor lighting for reading in bed, the fireplace didn’t work with the remote even after staff came to our cottage to fix it and the toilet ‘ran’ no matter how much we jiggled itt. Just as a heads-up, there are no microwave ovens in the cottages so don’t plan on warming up your Julian pie. On the flip side, this is our third stay here and the first time that it’s been…unsatisfactory. It is, I understand, under new ownership so maybe they’re still figuring things out. Also, I really missed the Wellness Shot that used to be at the front desk. Happy holidays!

We always stay in the same cottage, which is very comfortable and pleasant but has not been kept up very well. The shutters and the bathroom faucet need attention.

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.
Lovely lobby
Beautiful grounds
