Because of staffing issues that seem to be everywhere in Julian there is no chef, so no dinner at the lodge. Also other things like outside BBQs have been eliminated. It is a beautiful property for a small event, but would take some coordination of outside vendors. It is our new favorite.

Beautiful well maintained grounds. Liked the extra activities like fusball and cornhole. Didn't like that the shower didn’t drain well. The furniture in the room was different than the online photo and not as quaint but still clean.
Lovely lobby

The property and people are great. The only thing...they list continental breakfast included in the FAQ section of website, but its only on the weekends. No biggie. But they should clarify.

The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. The main facility is beautiful and our lodge room was super clean and tastefully decorated. It is located in a quiet and natural setting, which we found to be very restful. Two thumbs up!!!

I'm a city guy and was worried about the lack of options in Julian, CA, which looked like it was, frankly, in the middle of nowhere. There are no big hotels here because it's a small town away from the cities for people to enjoy nature and a quieter vibe. I paid up to stay at Orchard Hill compared to the other choices around town, and I'm really satisfied with the decision. We stayed in Lodge Room 9, which is one of the rooms in the Main lodge building (as opposed to the individual cottages). In some ways, it felt like a hotel room (albeit only one of ten) because it was in the main lodge. It wasn't really big, but more than adequate for sleeping. It fit two people fine. Definitely not a modern aesthetic (she told me they would upgrade to key cards soon), but everything was clean. There was a small nostalgic TV but we still watched on it from bed. A wall unit A/C. The bathroom had a bright skylight that was cool. Our only small issue was the deadbolt on our door wasn't working well, but the staff noted it for their maintenance staff. The door still locked anyways so we were fine. The staff were super friendly and nice, and checked on us any time they saw us. I didn't eat the included breakfast as we only stayed one night and we slept in til checkout time. All in all, good stay, and would recommend especially if you want something clean and comfortable and if you're used to nicer hotels.

We walked into the beautiful lobby and were greeted by Marta, who offered a veggie and cheese plate and a seat on the patio to unwind. We dropped off our bags and had a glass of wine to unwind from our drive up on the patio. The air was fresh and clean, and the views are amazing.
