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.

Orchard Hills is an exceptional lodge and cabins with beautiful rooms and amenities. The grounds are serene and the staff are gracious and welcoming.
My only regret is that I didn't find Orchard Hills sooner!

Lovely stay, pleasant and nicely helpful staff. Beautiful property in a great location. Only thing we didn’t like was an overly soft/saggy mattress. Would happily come back, though.

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

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.

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

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.
