Such a fun experience. Felt like we were living in the past. Service was wonderful. The breakfast was amazing! Just realize it isn’t your typical hotel stay. Wouldn’t suggest bringing kids.

Our first time in Julian and this place is right on Main St so walking to anywhere in the town is easy. Very small rooms but they are clean. Breakfast is only served for the one hour and I thought it might be better according to reviews. Coffee was good. Overall it was nice for the price.

It was kind of disappointing this time. Asked in advance for nice rooms and probably had the smallest of rooms. Check in was very confusing even though I had paid deposit in advance.

Old style charm and superior service!

An old fashioned little hotel (think Old West/Victorian) with great charm and a super friendly staff. A great little getaway spot.

We had a perfect "stress busting" mini road trip and time in Julian! How lucky I am to have an 18 year-old who likes to spend time with me! The "daffys" were a BIG bonus. We'll be back!
