They were in desperate need of a remodel, which they have since had. Positive: my room was nice overall, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast options were decent. Negative: you can hear every footstep of the individuals above you. Opt to stay on top floor. The person above me kept me awake with thier walking. They frick'n paced back and forth, clomping like a speed walking Yeti. The other negative is parking. They charge $20 to park. This isn't a downtown limited parking hotel and it's not in the prime part of S.D. or a secure parking lot. Next time I'm in town, I will be looking at other options or I'll make sure I'm on the 3rd floor.

We had access to the entire first floor of a beautifully decorated historical home that will be 100 years old next year. The Mission Hills neighborhood was close to everything we wanted and needed -- shopping, parks, dining, beaches. But I must say my favorite part was chatting with Joan Crone during breakfast. A fascinating woman with an artist's love for all things simple and beautiful. Her art pieces on "plenty" and "small" challenged me to examine my definition of happiness. Was not expecting a spiritual connection on the trip, but happy to have found it. Thank you Joan.

We had a memorable stay at Crone's Cobblestone Cottage, built in the American Craftsman style and…read morelovingly furnished and maintained by the proprietor, Joan Crone. Shaded by a sprawling pepper tree and sheltered by ranks of ferns, it is an oasis, complete with a porch swing and meditation garden, in an already quiet neighborhood. The Mission Hills business district is an easy ten-minute walk away, along streets with more nicely kept-up bungalows. From there, you can easily bus to Balboa Park and the Zoo in a half-hour or - with Joan's guidance - make a fun sightseeing trek down the hillside to the trolley and on the downtown and the harbor. At the end of the day, there are a number of very satisfying restaurants where you can relax and eat well before the peaceful walk home. Joan was very respectful of our privacy and our touristic initiatives. We, on the other hand, started conversations over breakfast that we would only reluctantly break off to make our way to the day's objective. Whether it involved geographical points of interest as a long-time San Diego resident, the arts and photography -- her area of training, Craftsman architecture and design or recent books we've read, there was never a dull moment. She encouraged us to look over books from her extensive library, including the charming "Little Free Library" built in the image of the Cottage and located right outside. We wholeheartedly recommend Crone's Cobblestone Cottage as a place to stay while visiting San Diego!

Charming B&B! Like stepping back in time, the hotel is filled with antique furniture and historic…read moretouches ( never fear the plumbing is modern!) As noted in other reviews the rooms are small- my husband and I are NOT small, we managed! The tall bed was comfortable and there was a helpful step placed in the closet so I did not have to resort to a high jump to get in. The bed was comfy. Breakfast was ok- I have a food allergy and staff had to scramble to accommodate it. I didn't think of it when we made the reservations, so that is on me. STAFF WAS AMAZING! Warm, friendly and filled with recommendations on where to eat ( dinner- and of course APPLE PIE!) We all agreed (we were traveling with others) that we would like to come and stay again. When you take into account the afternoon tea and a full breakfast, it's downright budget friendly!

My wife and I stayed in the Julian Gold Rush Hotel for two nights few weeks ago. Here are some pros…read moreand cons: Pros: Price, our room was $155 / night. That would probably pay for parking in San Diego hotels. This is a historic building and an interesting attraction in its own right. Breakfast is included and it was terrific. Food is expensive in Julian. A similar breakfast at a local restaurant would be $20. The staff are great. I met several day managers and the night security guy. They are all terrific people. It is really like staying in someone's home rather than a hotel. These is no TV. I think that belongs with the pros. The location is great. Right in the middle of town. Cons: Our room was tiny. Really tiny. Use the drawers and closets for your stuff so you don't trip over it. A side effect of the smallness of the room is that the heater/ac struggles to control the temperature . The design of any heater/ac unit presumes a room volume. The room is so tiny, the heater's built in control parameters are way off. Parking, parking is "street parking" and on a weekend, it's every man for himself. You may have to drag your bags a block or two. ---------------------- So would we stay there again? Absolutely. I would probably spend a bit more and get one of the small number of larger rooms, if available. If you want to relax and read, I cannot think of a better place. One thing I should mention, if you attempt to make reservations on line, there are half a dozen fake web sites imitating the hotel. They are put up by a dodgy travel company. They are really good imitations. I even an experienced computer user could be fooled. It is best just to call them.

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.
