The view, food, and friendliness of staff were wonderful. Only thoughts were that sweeping off cobwebs and debris from patio, and clearing out pile of dead ants at window in dining area, plus live ants in our room, only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. It was quiet and had a really nice continental breakfast. Very nice staff

This was a hidden place definitely off the beaten track. We felt relaxed finally finding the place and even got an upgrade for the Lake View. Was able to utilize the meditation room, game room/pool table/library. Our room had a special tub with jets and a steam shower. This was in the calm room. Very satisfied!

Booked room online looked very nice. At arrival I was very surprised place was very very quiet signs were cell phones couldn’t be used. Booked a king size bed got a queen or full size partner and I couldn’t even move at night that’s how small bed was. Little disappointed room had ants got on top of my pizza I bought the night before. Breakfast area had ants as well. I personally wouldn’t stay there again place was to quiet and nothing like the website.

The gracious staff at Quiet Mind is what made our stay impeccable. Lake Cuyamaca next door was serene and nearby Julian was charming. What any visitor takes away from their experience here is entirely shaped by what they bring to it. Quiet Mind Mountain Lodge gave me exactly what I needed. My abundant thanks again to the staff and locals of the nearby Pub and town of Julian.

Our stay was wonderful we had a very peaceful pleasant stay. The name Quiet Minds starts the process of tranquility…. The customer service was great! And the rooms were very clean and had great AC! Temperatures were in the upper 80’s my husband and I really enjoyed the Beautiful views of Lake Cuyamaca,Mountains,trees and birds…. The food menu was delightful we ordered ahead of time. We also took advantage of the complementary breakfast on the check out day and it was a selection of healthy and delicious food…. Good coffee and tea at breakfast and in the room. We also booked a much needed Massage 😊 they also have a wellness class room that I hope to enjoy the next time we go.
