"We were pleasantly surprised as neither of us had been to a spa resort before. The property is located on a hill overlooking Cuyamaca reservoir with fantastic views about 8.5 miles South of Julian. It has a Tibetan, 60's counterculture vibe with shrines and prayer rooms, yet at no point did we find it intrusive. The room was lovely, comfortable bed with mini fridge, microwave and a good shower with abundant hot water. We used the outdoor Jacuzzi which set us up for a restful night's stay. We would definitely stay again. They have a well regarded menu which we did not partake of, as it was our impression it was vegetarian. Perhaps next time. Our stay at the spa was the highlight of our trip as it was unexpected. We will confess that we didn't know what a wellness spa was as we are uncouth country bumpkins but will definitely be open to staying in a similar establishment in the future. Re staff we did not have any interaction with the staff save with the exceptionally attentive check in. The dining, breakfast area has great views. A definite hit."

"The room was clean. The room was also located within walking distance of the main area of town."

"I have been coming here since the 1990's for an astronomy weekend each fall. This was the second time we were able to stay in the spring to do some Milky Way photography. The staff is always wonderful and welcoming. Beds are pretty comfortable and the rooms are always clean."

"We love this property. We stay a couple of times a year. There are some things I wish they would do better. They are minor - they should clean the rooms more thoroughly- little things add up like grimy oil on the window shutters, stains in the bathroom in places that aren't obvious. I only mention these because of the room rates-they warrant more detailed cleaning. Love the electric vehicle chargers, the staff, the property - they have shuffleboard, large chess (although these were missing during our stay), pickleball, tennis, swimming, etc"
