Review: Beautiful grounds. The only complaint I have is that it smelled a little musty like maybe there is mildew or mold somewhere. My kids smelled like it every time we left the room., by Misty, July 14, 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent

Quiet Mind Mountain Lodge, Retreat and Spa

A hot tub with a mountain view, surrounded by trees and a body of water.

Location: Julian
Review: I booked this place over the concerns of both my sister and wife who were skeptical the place would be a bit too new-agey for their east coast sensibilities - but they both loved it. The view of the mountains and lake from our room and the common area were enough to make it worth staying there. Very short drive to nearby Stonewall Peak which is a great day hike. Not far from the Slot Canyon trail and Three Sisters Falls if you want more hiking. Staff was not just polite and courteous like..., by Lisa, November 11, 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent

Tucker Peak Lodge

A large, two-story wooden house with a stone chimney, a covered porch, and a wooden deck.

Location: Julian
Review: We decided to take a getaway this Thanksgiving, husband and wife plus 12 YO Daugther and our small dog. We made the reservation on short notice and receiving confirmation immediately (Hotels.com and direct email). It was a challenge to reach someone by phone but when we did they were very pleasant. The lodge is self check in but easy. Our only challenge was working out which room was ours since Emily wasn’t around at that time but I found it on my direct email (not hotels.com mail). Our room,..., by Lee, November 30, 2019, rated 10/10 Excellent

A hotel with a courtyard, palm trees, and a mountainous backdrop.

Review: The property is well maintained. We stayed in the king bed deluxe room and the room is huge. The room has everything you need including a fireplace and a large couch. We especially love the bathroom as it comes with a shower and jacuzzi tub, with a separate door to the toilet. The hotel staff is very friendly and welcoming. The only negative review we have is with the on-site restaurant. It is very overpriced and the food is just average., by Ching Fong, October 12, 2021, rated 10/10 Excellent
