Julian Lodge

Julian Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful little lodge with large rooms and kind staff. The location is perfect, right in the center of town with shopping, food, museums and lots of pie all within walking distance. The room has a mini fridge, microwave and keurig which was such a nice surprise and allowed us to store and reheat our leftover BBQ. The TV had a lot of options, from Disney to Netflix and more, and it was nice to settle in after our activities to watch a movie. We will definitely be back!"
