I bet any day now some TikToker is going to say that they found a hidden gem in Julian and in reality yes it is a hidden gem. This is a place that small or large families can come and stay. I'm here with my husband and baby. Once you have a baby you know you can't just stay anywhere. The insulation in this room is incredible. We walked out in the morning to 83° heat while the room inside was nice and cool. No bugs not even a mosquito had to say that since it's kind of country out here and you can expect some bugs. But not an excuse for bugs to be in a room. We had to leave an Airbnb because it was filthy and we came here and they totally saved us. We are always going to come to Apple Tree Inn from now on.

My family and I stayed here literally as a last resort since our Airbnb didn't work out (long…read morestory!) - our Airbnb host called Apple Tree Inn for us at almost 11pm on the night before 4th of July weekend. We just blindly booked over the phone not knowing what to expect but had no choice since it was late.p I was presently surprised by our hotel room! We booked via telephone and were given our room number and code to enter. It was easy to enter! We parked directly in front of our room which made for easy unloading. The room was cozy and clean. It was very spacious for my husband, our baby, our dog and I along with a whole bunch of stuff we packed! Our room was dog friendly, 2 comfy queen beds / comfy pillows, wood floors, air conditioner / heater, ceiling fan, adequate lighting, mini fridge with tiny freezer space, small table for 2, keurig coffee machine with coffee/creamer/sugar, vanity, shower with good water pressure, modern sink, closet with hangers. Behind the inn is an area to walk dogs or hang out on the tables and chairs. The room fit our needs for our very short stay. We would definitely come back here next time!

My fiancé and I just stayed here this weekend for a couple nights and had a wonderful stay. The…read moreplace is tranquil and secluded, away from Main St and all the noise, but only a 5 min drive away. Dawn and Ed are great communicators, they had cookies ready for us on arrival, and Dawn met us to check us in and give us info. We stayed in the Rose room, which is roomy, has a heater and an old fireplace which they give you wood for. Bathroom/shower has a separate heater, and the room has its own patio, but we found it's much nicer to explore the grounds and sit on one of their many benches and chairs spread throughout the hillside with nice views. There are cows across the street that are friendly, and we went to say hi to them in the mornings and feed them tall grass. And don't forget to step outside the cottage at night to gaze at the Milky way galaxy...you heard me correctly...not just stars, you can see the faint outline of the Milky way because Julian is a Dark Sky community and Ed and Dawn's place is very dark at night...epic! Breakfasts are a delicious two course meal of a fruit dish and main. Added bonus is chatting with Ed and Dawn about Julian history and getting tips on places to go/eat. Ed and Dawn were also accommodating to bring our breakfast to their outdoor patio since my fiancé had some smell sensitivity to the food cooking in the main room (but also, it's kind of nicer to sit outside, but then you miss communing with the other guests) The main breakfast/communal area has a bunch of books and movies you can check out and take to your room, along with microwavable popcorn...we watched Gone with the Wind on VHS with the fire burning at night...such a charming and memorable time! Thanks Dawn and Ed! Our only recommendations would be: 1) for those with allergies, getting some cotton bed sheets rather than microfiber/synthetic material (we asked but they didn't have any at the time) 2) while we loved the charm of the themed rooms, there is just a lot of stuff, i.e. old teddy bears/dolls on shelves, old style window curtains that are more for show rather than necessary since the windows already have blinds, these things just make the room feel crowded and also gather dust. But maybe that's just our minimalist preference? 3) The room is advertised with a Queen bed, but seemed more like a Full (perhaps it's a European Queen?), just seemed on the smaller side. In any event, we'll probably try to book the Apple room next time which has a King size bed (which was already taken during our stay) and has a view into the woods. 4) the couch/futon cushion is detached from the wood frame and has a tendency to slide around, and it's also bigger than the seating area, so you could end up sitting on the cushion but not the frame, thus falling down.

I live in a lovely home in Julian (2400 sq ft) with a view of the Cuyamacas. This 2500 sq ft house competes... with everything you could hope for when getting away in the mountains with every convenience and comfort on your getaway!

Myself and part of the film crew were lodged here in October 2015. We were welcomed in while still…read moreunder renovation. Doors did not lock and not all furniture was unpacked so we had to put it together ourselves. While the view and the birds were spectacular, our hosts were not. We would leave work and things would be moved around when we came back, which was invasive and perplexing since there was no maid service in the four weeks we stayed. On several occasions after working the grave shift in the early morning there would be knocks on our doors and occasionally fire alarms would be set off. One day after days of our doors never locking (both the hallway and sliding glass doors) they decided to do maintenance to finally have the doors properly lock, and lock them when they were done. Well because none of the doors to our rooms locked many of us stopped carrying the keys, and upon arriving to locked doors it was hard to get in contact to be let into our rooms. As much as we appreciated being lodged in this clean facility, we could have done away with the hostility and confiscation of personal property from our rooms.

There's a pond below but it's not accessible, probably because they've got bulls. Or because they don't want randos messing with their animals. The house slopes, so it's a bit like walking on a ship. If this kind of thing bothers you I wouldn't rent this cabin. However I barely noticed it after the first hour or so. In the kitchen, make sure to bring your cooking essentials, including any oils you need. They did have salt & pepper. No D/W. I really liked the bathroom off the main bedroom. With high ceilings and wood beams, it was very pretty. Bring your own hairdryer (the one provided was ancient) and toiletries (they were out of either shampoo or conditioner). The place is fairly private. You can see the front of the gnome house out of the main bedroom window and the living room. The lights along the path to the gnome house are solar, I believe, and create quite a bit of light into the main bedroom at night. Town would be quite a hike; car needed. It is super quiet.
