Pine Hills Lodge, Julian

There were no television sets in the rooms, and we did not know this. It was superbowl Sunday. We planned to watch the game in the pub, but were informed that the hotel shuts down on Sunday through to Wednesday and we could not watch the game. No effort was made to change these plans to take care of their guests on this special day. This facility seems to be for weddings only. The room was also drafty and there were no counter spaces in the bathroom. We had to put our bath supplies on the floor. The food was also mediocre and the service poor. This used to be a very fine facility but it is in serious decline. We moved to another very fine bed and breakfast where we were very well taken care of in every way.

My Husband and I with our Son spent 2 days one night, it was a very nice romantic room. My son enjoyed the Sunday Branch with the Live Music(Country Western) he even knew some songs. our STAY WAS IN THE FALL.so it rained and hailed one afternoon for like apx 1 hr it was great fun to experince nature, if you like cabins in the wood's youll love this place, Great for Retreats and weddings. I have a Large extended Family so I would love to go back there with all of them and celebrate our aniversary,

Our cabin (North Star)was rustic, which would have been fine except that it was filthy! The exterior door to the bedroom was warped and had a gap of several inches at the bottom. Leaves and dirt had blown all over the room and we had to clean it up before using it. The bathroom had a problem with insects, probably a result of the large hole between the shower and the foundation. We would have reported it right away but everyone had left the main lodge. We had intended to stay two days but decided to leave the next morning due to the condition of the cabin. When I checked out the next morning I made the clerk aware of the problem. She didn't seem to be interested and we were still charged for the next night. The area is beautiful and there are plenty of nice places to stay at; I wish we had been fortunate and stayed at one of them. Don't believe what you see on the web-site, it is not accurate.

Our whole family rented cabins for two days, during Christmas Holiday.The lodge resteraunt was closed. We went into Julian for meals, they did provide an adaquate continental breakfast. The lodge is a very large and nice place.We used the dining area for gatherings, this was great. The Cabins were clean and well decorated.The only complaint was our cabin had one small electric heater.It was cold outside!
