“Amazing, relaxing and friendly place to stay!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012 via mobile

Where do I start? Arriving in a beautiful area of the mountains. When we went to our room we were escorted so she could show us where everything was and how it worked (specifically the gas fireplace and jacuzi tub. It is within walking distance of the town of Julian. It is a bed and breakfast so of course the breakfast was amazing. They have a social hour with cheese, crackers, fruit with beer and wine
My husband had his New Castle beer so it is not cheap stuff. Dinner is reservation only so the chef can make everything delightful. The food was wonderful. Thank you staff for making our 32nd anniversary so special :-)

“Wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 20, 2012

My husband and I stayed a couple of nights and though it's a very sleepy town, Orchard Hill was awesome. The food was great, the staff was super and the cottages were cozy. We met the owner while waiting for dinner our first night...super nice and down to earth guy.

Room Tip: Bring some movies..they have a big library but you may want to grab some more recent releases.

“hospitality and charm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 12, 2012

a wonderful personal feel. the owners make you feel so at home. we definitely want to go back!
a spoiling comfortable experience... on top of a hill. you feel away from everything.

the food is amazing, the hospitality is personal and charming. the service and staff are great. it isn't high gloss, it is spoiling, low-key, comfortable, etc.

Stayed November 2012, traveled with family

“Beyond charming...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

The Orchard Hill Country Inn is a charming retreat set above the gold rush town of Julian. But two things set this inn apart: they are incredibly accomodating to one's personal needs( diet, room preference etc.) and dinner and breakfast were delicious! Even better, the inn is not far from Anza Borrego State Park, a gem of an off-road desert experience .

Room Tip: We stayed in the main lodge but rooms in the cottages looked pretty nice,too.

“Lovely Lodge and Cottages”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

Our family has been coming to this lodge every year for many years now. It has always been a great gathering place for our group and the accomodations and common areas are very comfortable with luxury linens and large enough common areas for a number of people but still with a homey feel. There is a appetizer hour with a complimentary glass of wine that is sure to tickle you fancy around the large stone fireplace. Outdoors is a great mix of nature and within walking distance to the little town of Julian. The grounds are hilly and perhaps not an easy trek for the elderly but you will find handicapped accomodations within the lodge. You'll also find the working staff to be friendly and eager to help you.
Finally, in an era of a poor economy, this may be considered quite pricey. There are other inns in town that are clean, and just around the corner from shopping.

Room Tip: The least expensive room is the best value. We have stayed in others and find them to be about the s...
