Quiet Mind Mountain Lodge, Retreat and Spa

8/10 Good

"Wonderful lake views, peaceful surroundings, great location."

Tucker Peak Lodge

8/10 Good

"The room and overall property was spotless. It was also pet friendly. But KEEP your pet on a leash - the lodge is up in the hills."

Julian Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed this stay as we were attending a wedding down the street at Sacred Mountain Ranch. The drive is very short with one stop sign to the location. It is also very close to the downtown area with all the shops, bakeries and restaurants within walking distance. The property itself was clean, ample parking and wonderful staff. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again."

Julian Gold Rush Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were clean, the staff was friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was amazing. The rooms are air conditioned. Wonderful place to relax. Nearby stores, shops and restaurants in walking distance. You can also stay and enjoy the view of the town from the porch chairs or the many books and puzzles in the inviting lobby. Will return again."

Riviera Oaks Resort by Coolvacay

10/10 Excellent

"We were in town visiting family so we weren't in room much, but this place had everything we would need if we were to stay there longer. Full size kitchen with all amenities to cook meals. Plenty of room to spread out and a nice little patio. We would stay here again."

"We can’t think of anything we didn’t like. Simple as that."

Apple Tree Inn

"Check in was a little tricky. When you arrive, you check in via text. The person receiving the text is not on site. You have to wait for the on site staff to receive a message from whoever has the contact phone. The gentleman who was on site that weekend was very helpful."
