We Will Be Back
Loved our stay here. The people were welcoming and friendly. Most comfortable queen bed we’ve ever had. Very cozy.
Only complaint is the hot water could fluctuate quite drastically during showers.

Fabulous Birthday Weekend
We enjoyed the room we booked very much. Very relaxing, quiet, secluded room. Loved it so much we ate $300 for early cancellation on previous reservations in San Diego to stay in the room one more night before starting our 5 hour drive back home.
Staff were friendly, hot breakfast was delicious. Definitely will be going back to spend more time and enjoy all Julian has to offer.

This was our first time to Julian and had a wonderful time. Orchard Hill is a wonderful place to stay. The grounds are beautiful and the staff incredible. We stayed in the Macintosh room and I loved that it had a fireplace. We can’t wait to go back.
