The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. The main facility is beautiful and our lodge room was super clean and tastefully decorated. It is located in a quiet and natural setting, which we found to be very restful. Two thumbs up!!!

I'm a city guy and was worried about the lack of options in Julian, CA, which looked like it was, frankly, in the middle of nowhere. There are no big hotels here because it's a small town away from the cities for people to enjoy nature and a quieter vibe. I paid up to stay at Orchard Hill compared to the other choices around town, and I'm really satisfied with the decision. We stayed in Lodge Room 9, which is one of the rooms in the Main lodge building (as opposed to the individual cottages). In some ways, it felt like a hotel room (albeit only one of ten) because it was in the main lodge. It wasn't really big, but more than adequate for sleeping. It fit two people fine. Definitely not a modern aesthetic (she told me they would upgrade to key cards soon), but everything was clean. There was a small nostalgic TV but we still watched on it from bed. A wall unit A/C. The bathroom had a bright skylight that was cool. Our only small issue was the deadbolt on our door wasn't working well, but the staff noted it for their maintenance staff. The door still locked anyways so we were fine. The staff were super friendly and nice, and checked on us any time they saw us. I didn't eat the included breakfast as we only stayed one night and we slept in til checkout time. All in all, good stay, and would recommend especially if you want something clean and comfortable and if you're used to nicer hotels.

We walked into the beautiful lobby and were greeted by Marta, who offered a veggie and cheese plate and a seat on the patio to unwind. We dropped off our bags and had a glass of wine to unwind from our drive up on the patio. The air was fresh and clean, and the views are amazing.

We wanted to celebrate a significant birthday and looked at so many different options across Southern California. However, when we spoke with Orchard Hill--and more specifically, Becky, who gets a special thank you--it just felt so clear that this was going to be the right choice for us. That absolutely turned out to be true. Our stay was great and everyone we interacted with at the inn was warm, accommodating, and professional. They even went the extra mile with some really nice touches to add to the birthday celebration. We couldn't be more thrilled that we chose to spend this special weekend at Orchard Hill.

The hotel grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The room was very small and had broken blinds and broken fan blade missing. There also seemed to be mold spots on the wooden blinds. The rest of the room was clean but there was no fridge and tv was very small if that is something of interest. The building is a historic craftsman and amazing to look at. Loved sitting outside by the fireplace and little river.

I stayed at the property a year ago and I was less impressed this visit. I stayed mid week both visits. The complimentary happy hour and complimentary breakfast is no longer offered. The room was mediocre with inadequate light at the coffee making area. The coffee maker was not properly cleaned, the TV did not work nor did the landline to the front desk. I know these days almost everyone has phones/laptops/computers to access TV and phone; however, it is a nice convivence to have working landline to front desk and a working TV. In general, the room was not well maintained. Was disappointing this visit. It is a beautiful property. It just seemed that it was better cared for a year ago. Front desk staff was very kind and helpful; she came to the room to sweep the desk and remove the spider webs so I could enjoy the outdoors.

Orchard Hill was really nice.. We stayed in cottage Jonagold and it was quiet and private. The view was great too from the patio. We had breakfast one morning here, and it was very good. I just wish they served pancakes, blueberry ones would be nice. Everyone was super nice, including Becky at check-in and Marta at check out. Only a short 5 minute walk to town, which was nice. We went for 4th of July and such a cute fun parade on the 4th. We will definitely be back to Julian and also stay again at Orchard Hill

This was the most surprisingly cute hotel I've ever been in. Everything had so much character from the firepit with surrounding chairs in the courtyard to the adorable rooms and personnel. We loved every second of our stay. Could not recommend it more. We visited for the 4th of July and it was a perfect option. It's so close to the main street that you can park and walk to the parade. Becky checked us in and took a photo of us in our July 4th attire and it came out so great. She was the sweetest. I can't imagine staying anywhere else when I'm in Julian. If you're on the fence, give it a shot. I promise you will be pleasantly surprised
