The Orchard Hill hotel is a wonderful property to stay. The location in Julian, California is perfect at the end of town and in walking distance to all. It’s quiet, woodsy cozy, elegant country interiors and beautiful outdoor spaces. Marta was our first hostess and extremely charismatic and knowledgeable giving us tons of information about the hotel and the town. The jewel of Julian and we are coming back.

This place is a bit of a mess. We came here because they used to have a happy hour with a "charcuterie board." You had to pay for your drinks and there was no meat (look up the definition). They give you credit towards breakfast but there was no breakfast because the chef did not show up! The toilet in our friends' room was broken and it took a while for a manager to show up. This place is expensive and you DO NOT get what you hoped you paid for. I assume this is a sign of poor absentee ownership.

stayed in the lodge (room #6) as the cottages were all booked. the room was nice and comfortable with a huge balcony. we had dinner at the onsite restaurant and the food was really good. also the fact you could leave your vehicle parked at the hotel and walk down to main street was a huge plus because driving around and trying to find parking on the streets was a mess.
