My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. We chose it because they are pet-friendly and I liked the modern decor from the pics. Rooms were spacious and clean. Good wifi and Direct TV available. Very quiet even though it looked to be fully booked. Perks are easy walk to dinner at Jeremy’s on the Hill (great food and atmosphere) and the best pies and breakfast sandwiches across the street at the California Mountain Bakery (highly recommended by locals we met at Jeremy's.)

Hotel's Favorite
This is the 2nd time that we have been to Apple Tree Inn. The refurbishment was done very well. The heat and air conditioning work great and you get hot water right away. The check in and check out process is super easy. Jeremy's on the hill was great for dinner. Wynola is a cute little town and t's only a 5 minute drive to Julian. We will be back for another staycation.

It's been a while since I have been to the Apple Tree Inn. A perfect getaway outside of Julian. Big rooms and quaint town of Wynola. Onsite restaurant Jeremy's on the Hill makes it a great choice for a comfortable getaway.

This is our third or fourth year staying at the farmhouse. The house is clean and comfortable. We love walking around the outside. There are a couple restaurants and apple orchards in walking distance (busy streets). There is air conditioning in the house and individual units in the bedrooms that worked great on a hot Sept day. We’ll be back!

Family outing, four in room 5, two in room 2. Spacious and very clean rooms, nicely decorated, shower and toilet rooms good. Fridges, coffee machines in both rooms. Strange, almost unfriendly system for booking in and leaving, almost as if they don't want to meet their guests, all done via phones and codes. I did actually see and speck to someone, as my wife wanted to borrow a hair drier, I got it, but the guy shut and locked the door behind me as if I'd broken into reception and he was too busy to deal with anyone else.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. We do have a toucheless check in procedure, but always available should you want to check-in in person. We have found guests appreciate being able to go straight to their rooms vs. coming up to the front desk. We only lock the front desk when we our staff is moving to a different area of the hotel. We can be reached though and will return immediately should you need any assistance.

I loved this hotel. The renovated rooms are modern and include a small kitchen. The bathrooms are also remodeled and clean. The beds were comfortable. For hikers, the hotel is 3 miles or so out of Julian.

I stayed with my mom and sister on a trip to see the desert in bloom. We arrived after dark and it was easy to find the Inn and pull off the highway. The directions on how to find our key were great. The rooms are spare but have everything you need. Everything was clean and tidy and worked. The manager responded quickly when we asked for extra TP. The headboards were squeaky, but the beds and bedding were just fine for comfort. I’d stay here again and would recommend the place.

I chose this hotel based on reviews but we were so disappointed. Firstly, it is 3.5 miles outside Julian, not in town. We were assigned to Room 1. The room was dated with old furniture. The sharp metal bed frame stuck out past the small mattress and I cut my leg when walking by the bed. There was no extra toilet paper, no ice machine ( I walked next door to the restaurant and begged some), no hair dryer. I left the hotel with wet hair in 34 degrees! We never saw anyone in the office as we rec'd text with lock box information. For this, we were charged almost $200. Booked thru Expedia and they said they spoke with manager who refused any compensation for us.

We're sorry to hear you had such an experience. We are in fact just under 3 miles from downtown, and quite up front with that. Every room has at least 2 rolls of toilet paper in the bathroom on the shelf. We did check your room and found two rolls on the shelf. We offer complimentary hairdryers, but they need to be requested from the front desk. We are staffed 24 hours per day should you need anything. You can call, text, or even ring the doorbell for immediate assistance. We generally get very positive reviews about our touchless check in procedure. Guests are always welcome to check in at the front desk, but most appreciate not having to stop by the front desk. We also send out a detailed confirmation email when you book that outlines everything from check in instructions to the wifi code and how to reach management.

Amazing stay at Apple tree Inn! Love this small town. The Inn keeper was quick to respond to all of our requests. Brought us wood for fire and anything else we asked for. Great food just across the street, fantastic Antique store next door and the sweetest donkeys at the neighbors! The only minor complaint is the couch sofa in the kitchenette room was a little UNcomphy. This will definitely be our new spot to stay! LOVE THIS INN!
