Top Julian Hotel Reviews

Piute Trail Lodge Lake Cuyamaca

Piute Trail Lodge Lake Cuyamaca

10/10 Excellent
"Spacious cabin is easy to get to, yet still quiet and secluded. View of Lake Cuyamaca and Cuyamaca Peak, from the front room and deck, is serene. Kitchen has every type of equipment needed to prepare meals. Satellite TV and internet. Bring ground coffee for the drip machine, plus any other food you'll need. Julian is a short drive, for anything you forget. We really enjoyed our mini-getaway, and hope to return!"
