Orchard Hill was beautiful and the staff so warm and gracious. Our room was the perfect place to spend the first night of our honeymoon. Every little detail was thought of, from the personal congratulations card to the yummy cookies. The whirlpool tub was wonderful, the fireplace was beautiful, the room clean and welcoming. I loved the private little porch... more

Not living far away, my wife and I wanted somewhere to just get away and enjoy some quiet time with each other. Boy, did we find the place ! Orchard Hill Lodge is a spacious but yet very quaint lodge/cottage in the town of Julian. Set off the main road, it gave us the feel of really being away from... more

We're delighted that your visit to Orchard Hill was a complete one...sitting by the water feature during hors d'ouevres, seeing wild turkey walk-by, enjoying a four-course dinner, and watching the stars in the sky. Thank you for sharing your experiences, and we hope to see you again.

This was my second stay at the Orchard Hill Inn, and it was just as incredible as the first time. Even though you are only a 5-minute walk from Julian's main street, you feel as if you're in a secluded lodge in the woods. We spent one afternoon lying in a hammock by the waterfall pond, listening to the wind... more

My boyfriend and I only stayed one night, but what a fantastic night we had. Walked the town during the day. Had some h'ordervs. Met the sweet owner Pat. Such a friendly atmosphere. Our room was downstairs (#4) . Simple, clean, a special note on the bed with our names personalized on it ( my favorite thing) . Had to... more

Ok. So we used TripAdvisor to search hotels in the area of Julian. We live in East County San Diego, but have never stayed anywhere in Julian so we wanted to do our homework. My wife and I where celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary so this trip was VERY special. From the minute we stepped on the property, we felt... more

Though we've been gong to Julian for 20 years, this relatively new hotel is a cut above the rest. Each room is decorated differently. The rooms are large, with a sitting area, refrigerator, bar sink, fireplace serving the main room and bathroom, lots of windows, 10'-high ceilings, top-quality bed linens, a separate toilet room, nice towels and bathrobes, and nice... more

My wife and I made a last minute call for a weekend getaway. I've not been to Julian proper, but do recommend Orchard Hill highly. We missed the afternoon wine and cheese, but they saved a plate for us--which was nice. And, the breakfasts, packed picnic lunch, and dinner were all really good. This isn't a B&B, but not exactly... more

My wonderful husband gave me the greatest Birthday surprise with a weekend get-a-way to the luxuriously comfortable Orchard Hill Country Inn in Julian, CA. Upon arrival we were greeted with complimentary wine & hor d'ouvres, then escorted to our amazingly beautiful cottage with King bed, fireplace, jacuzzi tub, fresh cookies and cold sodas. The Inn Breakfasts & Dinner were scrumptious!... more

How great it was to have you celebrate your birthday at Orchard Hill and that your visit  with wonderful meals, a beautiful room, and a walk through historic Julian  complemented such a special occasion. We look forward to your visit in the fall when apple picking (and pie eating) are among the season’s fun activities.

This was our fourth stay in at least 10 years and my wife and I loved it everytime. The spacious rooms are well appointed and comfortable. We stayed once in the main building and the other three times in one of the cottages which offer the most privacy. We love to sit on the large porch, read and watch the... more

We’re pleased that your visits have been calming and leisurely. Reading on the porch and observing the birdlife found at Orchard Hill are wonderful ways to enjoy the slow pace of our Inn. Thank you for sharing your experiences, and we look forward to having you return for more relaxation, exploratory walks, and delicious meals.

There is no pretentiousness here. Innkeepers Pat and Darrell Straube have created a wonderful island of tranquility where one can escape the "hurly burly" of daily living. The Inn and lodge are located on a hill above the historic town of Julian. The area surrounding the Inn and town offers many opportunities for hiking and picnicking (be sure to take... more
