Amazing! Highly Recommend!

Mike and Laura have such an incredible set up and they are so welcoming and nice. Our room in the carriage house was perfect but the access to the pool and the tavern they have set up was awesome. We will be coming back to Julian and we will absolutely be staying at the oak hill inn again!

The perfect stay in the perfect location

My wife and I stayed in this exact same space and in the exact same room when we first started dating nearly 15 years ago, and the memories we made this time when visiting for our anniversary were just as good, if not. Hope you are a cat person, as there are a number of property cats that are very friendly and sweet. The pool is crisp but perfect for the summer, and while the spa was empty I was surprised to see that there was one! Hopefully the next time we come through that functioning, but not having it didn’t make our trip any worse. Check in is easy, the room is cute, everything you need is there and town is a five minute walk away. Do yourself a favor and stay here!

Oak Hill Inn is a gem

This was the first time I have stayed in Oak Hill Inn but it won't be my last. My room was charming and quiet, plenty big enough for two though it was just me this time. The last time I stayed in Julian it was at the Julian Hotel and I felt confined and claustrophobic (I had to leave the room to change my mind). No such issues at the Oak Hill Inn. A big plus is that it's just a five minute walk up the hill to reach the heart of Julian. It is a bit tricky getting into the room, as the entrance is at the top of a steep staircase. So, make a few trips to get safely into the room (don't overload yourself). There is a nice looking little pool for the warmer months of the year (much too cold in April). At the end of my trip I neglected to take my pillow, leaving it on the bed. The owners and I have communicated and they will gladly hold it until my next drive into Julian. Good customer service!

Cute Little Spot Close to Downtown Julian!

Perfect for a couples weekend getaway in Julian! Comfy bed, close to town and just an overall great spot! Loved that they had a little community area with an honor bar so you could grab a soda/water/beer or snack. It was a perfect stay for a long weekend in Julian.

A quick and close retreat from San Diego

I needed a couple of days away but close to San Diego, and this property spoke to me on vrbo. So, I stayed there and really felt refreshed upon my departure. Owners were prompt and attentive when needed but unintrusive. I loved the view and how close and easy it was to walk to the heart of Julian, while still feeling surrounded by nature and quiet.

This worked out extremely well. The Oak Hill Inn was wonderful. Very clean, comfortable and walking distance to town. We did not swim in the pool, but we did relax around the pool which was fantastic. We will definitely return.

Oak Hill Inn - Julian California

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Oak Hill Inn, unit 2. Place was great. They offer a cool Tavern room on the property to grab some snacks and drinks while you unwind. Easy walk to all the shops and restaurants on Main St, Julian. Lots of places to visit in and outside of town. The owner offered great suggestions to visit and eat. We enjoyed our trip and would like to thank the owners for the nice accommodations.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Charlonne

Host profile image
Mike & I along with our daughters Ivy & Olive took over the property, Oak Hill Inn, at the beginning of 2021. After over 22 years of marriage our dream of owning an Inn is finally a reality. What an adventure for our family to be "liv'in the Inn life".

Why they chose this property

This property was designed, built and ran by my Aunt & Uncle for over 30 years. Julian is my home town so moving back and having our girls (and Mike) experience small town living has been a blessing. So proud to be able to say we are still family owned and

What makes this property unique

3 private rooms with private entrances and bathrooms, within minutes walk to the heart of town.
