Our suite in the back was terrific, clean, well equipped and quiet. Check in was all easily done on line. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great location, easy walking access to several great businesses in Julian. Wish we could have stayed longer!

We had a great 4th of July with our dog. It was very quiet and we lived that Julian Cidery was walking distant. Great restaurant on site as well, Jeremy's on the Hill.

Clean, comfortable, somewhat over-priced rooms in a beautiful quiet area. When walking nearby I saw deer in the grass and shared the road with a flock of wild turkeys.

The property was fine for location, price and cleanliness. The check in is a bit awkward as the manager didn't respond to my text, so I had to call. Then when she gave me a code to unlock the door, it turned out she neglected to tell me you have to push another button even though I asked if you needed to do anything besides numbers like a # sign. Fortunately another guest showed me how to get in the room using the key pad. There was a symbol besides the four numbers. He said he's been at that room befoer and the door keypad was a little difficult.

This property has a very late 4pm check in. If you need to check in earlier it costs an extra $40. There was no plug in near the vanity. The couple who helped us check in and answered our questions were very nice and professional. We will recommend.

We love the Apple Tree Inn and its proximity to excellent hiking (e.g., Volcan Mountain; Santa Ysabel Preserve East), its location near the apple product outlets in Julian, and its proximity to great places to eat, next door (Jeremy's) and across the street (great pizza, good beer, patio dining, etc.).
