We always stay in the same cottage, which is very comfortable and pleasant but has not been kept up very well. The shutters and the bathroom faucet need attention.

Because of staffing issues that seem to be everywhere in Julian there is no chef, so no dinner at the lodge. Also other things like outside BBQs have been eliminated. It is a beautiful property for a small event, but would take some coordination of outside vendors. It is our new favorite.

Beautiful well maintained grounds. Liked the extra activities like fusball and cornhole. Didn't like that the shower didn’t drain well. The furniture in the room was different than the online photo and not as quaint but still clean.
