This must be one of the most charming places in whole California. We stayed at the Gnome house (2 people) and Tree House (1 person). We absolutely loved everything and will go back, for sure!!

Shadow Mountain Ranch B&B is located just outside the quaint Historic town of Julian, in San Diego County's foothills. We found it by accident, and boy...are we glad we did ! The owner Jim, and his Son Tracy, have a special interest in making their guests feel like an extended part of thier family. We met Emily the Grandaughter, and... More

We wanted to stay in town, but everything was sold out. We found Shadow Mountain Ranch and are very glad we did. Loretta and Jim are such lovely people and the breakfasts each day were AMAZING. The only thing I did not like (we stayed in the gnome home) was that the bathroom was not separate from the bedroom. It... More

I have been to Shadow Mountain a couple of times now, I love the atmosphere not as much as I love the people who run it. Loretta and Jim immediately became FAMILY. If you're looking for a wonderful quiet place to relax please check it out. You will be missed Loretta

The cabin was immaculate and beautifully decorated with a nice cozy, warm feel. The host and hostess are lovely people and provide a wonderful getaway with peace and quiet and total relaxation.

We chose the tree house and it was a good choice, now I can tell you. Loretta and Jim, the owners, are friendly and helpful. Our room was small but... More

It has two bedrooms and two baths, a full kitchen, living room and dining room. There is also a front porch and a back porch but... More

My wife and I have been going to Shadow Mountan Ranch every year for over 25 years, which should be enough said. We enjoy it so much that 15 years ago we started booking all the room for a couple of nights and inviting our friends. We have had the same group for the entire time as all our friends... More

This was my first trip to Julian and Shadow Mountain Ranch. The ranch is located just outside "downtown" Julian (about a 5 minute drive). We were greeted by Loretta, Jim, their dog and two horses. We stayed in the "Gnome Home". It was clean, warm and felt like we were in a disney movie! This wasn't just a hotel room...it... More
