8/10 Very good

Cute place, convenient location to Julian. The grounds need some clean up especially the old filled in pool area and would be nice if the office was staffed. WiFi also needs to be better. Otherwise rooms are updated and staff via phone is friendly. Rooms available on time and can walk to the bakery, Heroes restaurant and the Wynola Farm / Pumpkin Patch.

Johanna, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Pretty good!

The check in was super easy. They text you the door code. Rooms were really cute and the oak tree / garden area in the back was adorable. I knocked off some points because the floors in our room were dirty and the shower water was rusty even after running the water for a long time.

Mountain adventure

I enjoyed my stay. The mattress was a little soft for me. The bathroom sink drain wasn’t working properly. The room was very clean, air conditioning worked well. Location was optimal.

I went for my birthday this past weekend and it was perfect! We will definitely be coming back and will stay here everytime!
Ashley, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Julie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room and bath are spacious and clean. The staff is friendly and attentive. Great value for the price and frankly, better than expected from the "2 stars" rating on Expedia.

Sandra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Amy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were pleasantly surprised about Apple Tree Inn! We were staying in Julian for 2 nights, and we had a good time! The place was clean with a great rustic feel (no bugs either! We thought we would have to fight critters due to the area). It is right next and across the street from some restaurants so you have easy access to food, and staff were attentive (through messaging) if we ever stay again, we will definitely look into staying here again

The area is always nice to go to. This was the first time staying and we had a great stay. Thank you so much!

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.

Clean and quiet. The hot water took way too long to heat up though.
