We loved our stay here and definitely plan to go back to the same room. The staff was super friendly, the room was clean, and the atmosphere was just the peace we needed for a getaway.

The stay at Quiet Mind Mountain Lodge was a great experience. Outmost friendly staff, where everything is mindful possible. We had our doubts at booking, but it turned out to be a very fine and relaxing experience, where respect for other people and environment is of essence. Recommend passing by and be surprised by the quietness that this place an bring on more levels.

The location of this hotel is what makes it stand out. However, the place itself can use some TLC. The room we stayed could use some touch up paint to spruce it up. The balcony was full of caterpillars (apeeared to be an infestation) dead and live ones. The outdoor furniture was dirty so didn't care to use. The bed was comfortable but one thing I didn't like was it has a skirt that touches the floor and can lead to insects crawling onto the bed.
The staff was nice and accomodating. The spa services were good overall and when one of the scheduled services didn't meet my expectations the staff apologized, took it off my bill and was receptive to constructive criticism which shows they are open to improving.
I would come back but hope the owners spend some money and update the decor and rooms. The exterior of the property can also use some updating.

My room faced the North. On check-in I noticed the patio sliding door was unlocked so I locked it. 4-5 young Russian? male teens fled from the room next to me late at night 11.05 PM when I tried to see Aurora Borealis from my patio SU. One of my cell phones no longer will turn on or charge. Mostly quiet place to sleep at night.

It was very peaceful. The weather was bad but we enjoyed our cozy room & the breakfast.
4.0
Deluxe room, the Radiant suite. Decent for a last second stay. Very austere. It seemed a little overpriced, even with the discount. Shower head was too short and close to the wall, water pressure could have been better. Sink faucet and knobs were not securely bolted. Balcony lights didn't work at all.

Peaceful place .... loved it.

This is a unique and scenic property, perfect for a quiet weekend getaway. The staff was helpful and we loved our balcony and view of the lake.

This was a relaxing visit, the room was comfortable and private.
My only complaint is that I could hear the staff working upstairs and the parking lot/road to my room was too dimly lit.

We wanted to have a quiet weekend for relaxation and that is exactly what we got by staying here. The staff was very friendly and quickly responded to any questions we had. The room was wonderful with an amazing view of the lake, the bed was very comfortable and the property sits in a very quiet area without any noise to worry about. It is not far from the town of Julian for dining options. They do have one restaurant at the lake that was just ok. We were happy to take advantage of their continental breakfast, which had plenty of delicious options to choose from. We enjoyed the sunrise and sunsets from our room and balcony and we saw many dear around the property, which we absolutely loved. We certainly would recommend it and would stay again without hesitation

I booked this trip over one month ahead. I received text messages as well as emails from the hotel welcoming me to my future trip and asking if I wanted to book activities in their hotel. Upon arrival they said a water pipe burst near my room and my room was no longer available. They said they tried reaching out to me two days prior as well as that morning but I never received anything. it is very strange that they emailed and texted it to me the whole month but today’s before my booking they can’t get a hold of me to let me know not to come to the property. I drove over an hour to arrive and for them to tell me they have no room for me. Everything in the area was booked so I had to drive back home. Extremely horrible experience. I will definitely not book with this hotel again I will not risk it.

it's the second time we've stayed there, and it is always so relaxing, full of comfort and short distance to Julian to go get pie...super short from the lake, and such a nice view

Not well lit at night.

I found out from some locals that this used to be a nursing home I guess that is why there is a creepy feeling there. Our room was extremely noisy all night long. I could hear what sounded like an ejector pump. I could hear things crawling in the walls. I got no sleep there at all The room was very dusty, shower leaks. Our room was in the basement, which smelled very damp and moldy. There’s no phones in the room had to use our cell phone to contact staff and cell service is sketchy, so I could not get reception to reach the staff except for one time. issues kept popping up all night long, and I was unable to reach anyone to help us This entire facility is in dire need of repair. The entire facility is dusty, dirty, smells damp and moldy. The decor is haphazard at best with junky, leftover furniture from the 1980s with the Buddha theme,, No elevator. had to carry suitcases down a long, narrow, dark set of steps. there’s no way to lock your bedroom door. I was scared and creeped out the entire night two big pros number one I survived the night and number two I got to leave in the morning I will never be back what a waste of $300. This is the absolute worst place I have ever stayed.

If you’ve got any level of yoga or meditation practice and you’re always wishing you could just eat some nice easy veg cooking when traveling instead of chicken tenders and Caesar salad, this place will be right up your alley!

Great relaxing stay. Awesome staff and good food.
2.0
It is a nice hotel, I personally was looking more of a cozy, comfortable, cabin type hotel, the decoration was a little too much for me, I didn't get to relax or felt I wanted to stay until check out time, the breakfast is very basic, I was expecting more variety and options vs the cost to stay here. The towels were old and damaged.
Adam was very nice and courteous, he showed us the property and gave us some history of the hotel & owner background.
15 minutes away from Julian and nothing around but a Pub

Very quiet. No alcohol, smoking or talking on your cell phone outside. Very geared to relaxation and getting away from every day life. Perfect reset button

This place has gone down hill since my last stay. I paid more than I did for their lowest room vs. a suite. The hot water took 20 min. to get warm. The breakfast is dry bagels and plastic yogurt vs. the fresh croissants, and yogurt in the mason chairs with granola. No free sound bath. Hot tub visibly dirty.

A beautiful and comfortable place to stay. Very comfortable bed! A great hall to practice meditation. You will appreciate this place if you practice meditation and very quiet time.

My stay at Quiet Mind Mountain Lodge was defined by the incredible hospitality shown to me by it's staff. Sarah and Adam were available to answer questions, make accomodations, and provided an unforgettable experience for me and my significant other.
If you are planning on having a celebration in Julian, I would recommend the celebration cake that the Resort offers. The cake is made by a local baker, and was one of the best butterscotch cakes I have ever had. Quiet Mind Mountain Lodge is affordable, private, clean, and an excellent option for travellers in the Julian area.
5.0
Relaxing retreat. Comfortable, clean, and great people. Resort staff are great. Had a wonderful massage. Breakfasts were delicious and filling. Enjoyed every minute of our stay. Easy drive into Julian, without the crowds and traffic of Julian. We will definitely be back. S&S

The property is like motel and didn't know that all Buddha statue all over even inside the hall. The staff is very nice and friendly. Even at 9pm he tried to fix clogged bathroom sink which we haven't used it. Good location and quiet area. Specially kitchen and dinning room has a nice lake view.
In brief I would like to rate 3.5 out of 5.The room looks like motel but kitchen and dinning room is excellent. The staff is super nice !!

It was in a great location for Julian. The front desk staff was very kind and offered us any help that we needed. The lodge was very quiet and offered Disney Plus for our young daughter. We were able to grab a quick bite at the local pub across the way and the view of the lake was really wonderful. Great for a weekend getaway
5.0
We came for a day to get away from the heat! My partner and I had no idea it was a retreat centered around spiritual wellness. The staff was amazing and very friendly. I got to play my sound Bowles with the beautiful lake view. You can tell they paid extra attention to detail to make sure our stay was nothing less that great. The jacuzzi with the beautiful lake/mountain view just made it all even better. We can’t wait to rebook! I’d definitely feel safe here as a solo travel and as POC 🙏

Sarah was amazing and very helpful! Amazing view of the lake and stars at night. About a minute drive to the lake and only about 15 minutes to Julian! A must stay!

I had a truly lovely stay at this peaceful and beautiful lodge. My gorgeous suite faced Lake Cuyamaca and I will request this room again. I loved the claw tub in my room and the steam shower plus the bed was extremely comfortable. This lodge is so unique and special and the staff was so welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommend.
