"15 mins away from Julian, this place was a great place to stay with good views of the lake. Very relaxing stay with comfortable beds, the balcony we had was a great plus! The room was clean, staff was very helpful (Sarah) and their masseuse Amy was amazing."

10/10 Excellent
"The Julian Lodge is an amazing place to stay at. The gentleman at the front desk was a genuine pleasure to speak with, and made us feel welcomed the second we walked into the office. Check in was super simple, and they gave us the option between one or two keys for the room. The room itself (we stayed in the Deluxe King room) was very spacious yet super cozy at the same time. Everything was clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Mini fridge was provided, as well as a microwave and coffee which turns out was free! The bathroom came with some pretty good quality hair and body products as well as make-up removing wipes and even a citrus lotion. Overall, I would 100% recommend the Julian Lodge to anybody when they stay at Julian. Perfect for short or long stays alike!"

"What a beautiful retreat Everything was clean well maintained and beautifully decorated I suggest emailing the guests with a few instructions 1) location is up a long driveway to the garage area of the house. We weren’t sure we were at the right address 2) explain check-in procedure, as there’s no one at a reception desk. It’s “self check-in”. Once checked in and in our rooms, we were taken away to our getaway for a day."
