Things To Do In Julian
Orchard Hill is located in the heart of historic Julian, a turn of the century gold mining boomtown. From the steps of your room take a walking tour of Julian's historic district or visit the gold mines of the old west.

Shopping is a popular pastime in Julian. Stores housed in historic buildings dating back to the 1880's offer an assortment of enticements, from antiques and collectibles to home-baked apple pie.

Far and away, the favorite activity enjoyed by Orchard Hill guests is quietly relaxing at the Inn: enjoying hors d'oeuvres and drinks at the Lodge, reading a book or having a picnic lunch among the the hammocks and benches tucked away on the inn's four lush acres of grounds. You may choose to relax in our Game Room, playing cards and boardgames, watching movies, working on jigsaw puzzles, or exploring our extensive book and video library.

Museums, wineries, restaurants, hiking, horse trails, bird-watching, biking, boating and fishing at two nearby lakes and much more awaits you in this recreational paradise.

Julian's hillsides are draped with apple, pear, and peach orchards offering everything from U-pick to roadside markets.

Explore the Inn's four acres of grounds by following flower-lined paths that lead you to running springs, secluded hammocks, picnic tables, reading benches, and a secret garden. Longer hiking trails take you through meadow and woods to panoramic views and abandoned gold mines.

Under the Coulter Pines and Manzanita, you can sit, listen, and watch as the water moves over rocks to a pool where catfish, goldfish, and frogs make their home. Among the wildflowers you might also see ravens, scrub jays, and wild turkeys. The rocks, trees and animals who live here welcome you as their guest.

Order one of Orchard Hill's picnic lunches and take a walk through our trails to a private nook, or the many shady spots that await you with a picnic table, a hammock or lounge chair.
