Because of staffing issues that seem to be everywhere in Julian there is no chef, so no dinner at the lodge. Also other things like outside BBQs have been eliminated. It is a beautiful property for a small event, but would take some coordination of outside vendors. It is our new favorite.

We walked into the beautiful lobby and were greeted by Marta, who offered a veggie and cheese plate and a seat on the patio to unwind. We dropped off our bags and had a glass of wine to unwind from our drive up on the patio. The air was fresh and clean, and the views are amazing.

Orchard Hill was really nice.. We stayed in cottage Jonagold and it was quiet and private. The view was great too from the patio. We had breakfast one morning here, and it was very good. I just wish they served pancakes, blueberry ones would be nice. Everyone was super nice, including Becky at check-in and Marta at check out. Only a short 5 minute walk to town, which was nice. We went for 4th of July and such a cute fun parade on the 4th. We will definitely be back to Julian and also stay again at Orchard Hill
