This is my third visit and I cant say how much I love this place and how healing and relaxing it has been over the last two years. Each time I visit the staff here really embodies kindness and compassion and has gone above and beyond to take care of my every request. Room service was even offered at 10pm after the kitchen closed because I arrived late. They upgraded me to one of the most beautiful hotel rooms I have every stayed in. I was fascinated to learn about the antique history of the furnishings. The owners traveled the world seeking out Eastern and Western furniture that told a story and makes you feel like you have entered a serene spa. I felt fortunate to have my own private steamroom shower and soaking tub added in some aromatherapy as well to really relax. I did all the weekend classes including yoga and meditation and I feel like a new person. My favorite wellness was the reiki massage combo, highly recommend. The lake facing suites are so peaceful, quiet and relaxing and this is truly one of the best retreats in the country.

This is truly the most beautiful hotel in San Diego. I treated myself to a self care getaway as I have had the most stressful year and was in need of rest and quietude. From the time I booked to the time I checked out the staff helped plan my stay, my food and the most wonderful spa sessions. My room was quiet and full of such great amenities. I spent many hours laying out staring at the lake and taking long baths. Each morning they serve an amazing free breakfast! Highly recommend Lorien for Massage and Denise for Reiki. Everyone is so sweet and kind and even gave me a complimemtary checkout. Highly recommend this beautiful place.

This is our third visit to this wonderful resort. From the very beginning as we drove in we saw panoramic lake views and a gorgeous lobby with large glass doors and our wonderful host Sarah to meet us and give us a guided tour. We booked the sunset picnic experience and enjoyed a lovely bottle of local wine and a cheese and fruit board. We very much enjoyed the room service food and were kindly taken care of by the kind staff, Sarah, Yoli and Jamie were amazing! Each of our services were led by wonderful therapists and teachers, Denise was amazing and led us through a combination of gentle yoga and heart centered poses perfect for helping my husband and I connect in the amazing yoga room. Lorienne and Jamie gave us what would be the best couples massage I’ve had in a long time in the beautiful Tara Temple Spa. The yoga class on Saturday was phenomenal and brought me back to practice at home. Our suite was the Joyful Jewel Lake Suite which was wonderfully comfortable with a four poster king bed and the linens were soft like butter, there were soaking tub with jets and we had views of the Lake and Mountains of Cuyamaca Lake.

Recently stayed here to explore Julian, Ca. I was totally blindsided on the day of Check-in by emails from their concierge team outlining a set of rules for their hotel. Quiet times, where to park, class options at an extra charge per person, order ahead room service, and a caveat of no alcohol permitted. I scoured their website for days before the trip to see exactly what amenities our room had to offer and never saw anywhere that this was an alcohol-free zone. This was a place for yoga people who enjoy meditation and reiki healing and I did not get that from their website. Throughout the stay you never come face-to-face with staff and ask any questions through your phone via text message. If I was coming here to unwind and do yoga and meditating, then it seems counterintuitive to make me use my cell phone to converse with the front desk. We ended our trip early due to car troubles and due to the fact that food had to be pre-ordered and we were unable to drive back into the main town, we ate pretzels we brought for dinner our first night. The continental breakfast was okay but very awkward as none of the guests talked to each other and everyone whispered between themselves. All in all a very misleading website and impersonal experience. Their saving grace was refunding a portion of our second night, granted we did leave before 11am and am unsure why we did not get the full night back.
