Oak Hill Inn, cozy boutique hotel only a 5min stroll to the heart of Julian!!

5/5 Excellent

Oak Hill Inn is a gem

"This was the first time I have stayed in Oak Hill Inn but it won't be my last. My room was charming and quiet, plenty big enough for two though it was just me this time. The last time I stayed in Julian it was at the Julian Hotel and I felt confined and claustrophobic (I had to leave the room to change my mind). No such issues at the Oak Hill Inn. A big plus is that it's just a five minute walk up the hill to reach the heart of Julian. It is a bit tricky getting into the room, as the entrance is at the top of a steep staircase. So, make a few trips to get safely into the room (don't overload yourself). There is a nice looking little pool for the warmer months of the year (much too cold in April). At the end of my trip I neglected to take my pillow, leaving it on the bed. The owners and I have communicated and they will gladly hold it until my next drive into Julian. Good customer service!"

"Borrego Springs is a great secret in the Southern California desert. Beautiful views, lovely people and peaceful surroundings. Borrego Springs Resort and Spa is well situated within the community, with lovely grounds, clean simply appointed rooms and large welcoming pool. Check it out, you'll love it. "

Quiet Mind Mountain Lodge, Retreat and Spa

5/5 Excellent

"My husband and I travel a lot and stayed in many hotels around the world. I have to say this is one of the most interesting hotels we have stayed. One can easily see the influence of Buddhism from many art works and furniture in display throughout the hotel. The location of the hotel give you a sense of tranquility and peace. The stuff are friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our staying. "

"From the moment we arrived at Orchard Hills, we were met with warmth and hospitality. Karolyn greeted us with such kindness, even gifting us a bottle of wine to celebrate our recent wedding. The invitation to join their happy hour was a delightful surprise, and we were impressed by the attentive and friendly staff throughout. Karolyn’s care made us feel truly at home. The live music by Rachel Richie added an extra touch of magic to our stay. Orchard Hills quickly became one of our favorite experiences, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable getaway."

Aersome place

"This is a very pleasant place where you can rest and have a very good relaxation, looking towards that beautiful lake, we were lucky enough to have a heavy snowfall where everything became like a Christmas card The place was very clean and cozy and John was very kind and helpful to us, we asked him if he would let us check out later and he soon told us that there was no problem, we also forgot a Bible and he contacted us and very kindly sent us the Bible by mail and we are very grateful for that, he was also very attentive, that we would not lack wood for the fireplace. Everything was lovely, the bedrooms were very comfortable and the living room was very cozy, the kitchen was very functional and the bathroom was spacious and always had plenty of hot water. We are sure we will return again It is a highly recommended and spacious place Having 4 folding beds is a great plus"
