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
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 didnât like was an overly soft/saggy mattress. Would happily come back, though.
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.
Itâs 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.
Amazing staff, very generous and sweet. Simply cannot send enough compliments from our check in, to breakfast, to check out. WONDERFUL time here in this inn
Just got back from a wonderful weekend at Orchard Hill the staff was very accommodating they make you feel at home. The property itself is beautiful with breath taking views. I recommend this place for relaxing weekend getaway!
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.
Display far exceeded my expectations! It was incredibly peaceful and exceptionally beautiful. We were blown away at the peace and tranquility of this place.
Saturday night the lobby was lively, fun, great drinks, great people, great live music.
The staff was so friendly and accommodating. We celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary and all the staff went out of their way to celebrate us. The food was fantastic. This report is an oasis. So beautiful
