Fodor's Expert Review Orchard Hill Country Inn
2502 Washington St., Julian, California, 92036, USA Fodor's Choice
On a hill above town, this true country inn experience with a lodge and 12 Craftsman-style cottages offers luxurious accommodations decorated with antiques, original art, and handcrafted quilts, complemented by sweeping views of the countryside; some of the cottage suites have see-through fireplaces, whirlpool tubs, sitting areas, and private patios or balconies. Within the main lodge are slightly more affordable rooms with a coffee bar shared between each floor. Guests gather in the late afternoon for wine and hors d'oeuvres in the Great Room, where a fire blazes in the stone fireplace; breakfast is included and dinner is served weekends to guests only at an extra $55 charge.
