Wonderful overall.
Pros:

Location and the grounds were beautiful. We loved the stream and trees. Corn hole was a bonus. The evening happy hour and morning basket of food and coffee was wonderful.

Cons:

A bit noisy at night (sounded like water was running- maybe an ice maker upstairs?). The shutters let in light in the early morning.

I will only stay at Orchard Hills Cottages when in Julian
Pros:

Everyone is super polite and helpful above & beyond. Perfect location for exploring the town of Julian and local hiking.

Cons:

The cottages are super cute & cosy with a mountain feel decor, some with fireplace. I love the welcoming staff and the relaxing happy hour.

We liked it despite some of the kinks.
Pros:

The nicest hotel around this area, charming, clean, well situated. Warm welcome with appetizers and morning coffee delivered to room.

Cons:

Stayed at lodge, bed was not as comfortable. Noisy heating unit in room, fluctuating hot water in shower, sink with slow drain.

I guess a cappuccino machine would be nice. The setting is gorgeous and the very inviting reception area is stunning and warm.

Pros:

The clerk was very kind. and the scenery was wild and beautiful.

Cons:

There was no elevator, and we had to climb stairs to reach the room, which was so small it was difficult to move around in. The place was clean,

Can't wait to visit again!
Pros:

What I Loved:

📍 Prime Location: The hotel's location was absolutely perfect and extremely walkable to everything I wanted to see and do.

💖 Warm & Friendly Atmosphere: The hotel itself was beautiful, warm, and inviting.

🤝 Exceptional Staff: The entire staff was incredibly nice and accommodating.

🌅 Amazing Views: The views from the hotel were stunning.

Areas for Consideration:

While the overall experience was excellent, there are two areas that, if addressed, would elevate the stay from great to perfect:

Breakfast Value: The $10 breakfast option is currently very basic, consisting only of toast and cereal. Adding additional options, especially some protein, would significantly improve the value and offerings.

In-Room Technology: The TV was tiny, and the remote control was the most outdated I've seen in at least a decade. Upgrading to modern Smart TVs would be a huge bonus for guests.

Beautiful lodge
Pros:

Lovely location and property! By far the nicest lodge in town, beautiful views, close walk to shops/cafes, amazing friendly staff who gave great recommendations and were kind to light the fireplace for us in the lounge area. Complementary happy hour was a nice surprise, we would definitely stay there again!

Cons:

It would have been nice if the hotel offered breakfast (we understood they only did breakfast in the weekend) as this was hard to find, not many places were open in the morning, so your options aren't great. There was even a lovely breakfast area with a view, it would have been perfect if we could enjoy that.
