We loved this pet friendly option for near Julian, what a great deck with a fabulous view- we never wanted to leave it. Appreciated the food for breakfast and use of the kitchen. Cute little kitties were fun to watch outside. We will gladly tell others about Tucker Peak Lodge.

Beautiful property with a fabulous view. The mattress was a little too soft for my liking, the towels were somewhat ragged, and the flooring can use some repair. However, the lodge itself is clean and comfortable. I would recommend for a weekend getaway.

The property was great. In a good location, close enough to town, but far enough away for a quiet mountain feel. The only thing I would have enjoyed was a fire pit outside to enjoy. Other than that, the property, owners, and experience were excellent.
