About this property

Nestled in the mountain town of Julian, CA, Apple Lane Orchard is a working orchard and cider processing company producing the best apple cider around!

Blooming with fruit trees and flowers, our grounds are also home to The Orchard House, a luxurious 2600-square-foot 3 bedroom, 2-bath rental property that sits atop the orchard itself with an expansive view that includes Volcan Mountain in the distance. The house is ideally suited for family vacations, getaway retreats, corporate and private events, as well as weddings. Come enjoy the views from our wraparound deck or amble down the hill to nearby Jess Martin park for skateboarding, soccer, a game of catch, or a picnic.

In addition to the house, the orchard includes our delightful Amish-style pergola with custom seating available that can accommodate any kind of festive gathering of up to 100 people.

Come escape to relaxation and enchantment in our peaceful orchard property. We look forward to seeing you!

Beautiful home!!

Loved the home and how secluded it was!!! Our only issue was the mattresses. Ours was very uncomfortable and so was our friends. Plus they are tall people, so their feet hung off the bed.

Great 3 night stay

We loved our stay! With five adults, the house gave us all plenty of space, with roomy, comfortable bedrooms that made us feel right at home. Nestled in an orchard, the property offered beautiful views and a peaceful setting—perfect for morning coffee on the porch or evening chats. Tracy was really good communicating all the details from check-in through checkout. We appreciated and followed her recommendations for local dining, shopping and hiking which were perfect for all of us. The kitchen was well-stocked and ready for meals, and we enjoyed gathering around the cozy dining areas. The family room was just the spot to unwind together after a day of exploring. It was wonderfully quiet, yet just a quick drive to Julian, a charming mountain town with great shops, friendly people, and amazing apple pie. Overall, this place is a gem. We’d come back in a heartbeat!

Our Girls’ Getaway with Mom, Aunt, and sisters

Such a nice accommodating place! We relaxed out on the porch and had lunches. We played games at the large round living room table and meals at the large dining room table. Beds were very comfortable with large soft comforters. We cooked all our meals in a well supplied kitchen. We put together 3 puzzles provided. Thank you Apple Orchard House!

Julian gem!

Wonderful home with convenient single story layout and large porch with beautiful views. Kitchen is well-stocked, beds were comfortable, and the wifi was great. Dog friendly, but doesn't look like other pets were ever there. Perfect proximity to town and driving through the orchard is a fun touch. Property manager was extremely responsive and provided lots of helpful information about things to do and see in and around Julian. We hope to return!

Pictures don't do the home justice

We rented the home on a last minute trip, thinking it was going to be an OK home. To our surprise it was much better then expected and noted how clean it was and how well supplied it was. Much appreciate when a host goes above expectations! Thanks for a great stay and looking forward to coming back!

Apple Orchard House Delight

This was our families 4th stay at this home and we continue to love this Gem in Julian. Everything you need is provided with a stocked kitchen and plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed walking the grounds with our kids and dog and breakfast on the lovely deck. Communication with management was easy and our stay was beyond pleasant. Thank you so much! We look forward to our next trip to Julian and the Apple Orchard house!

A Wonderful Return Stay

Once again, we had a week long fabulous time at the Orchard House. This was our third time staying here, it's a great, quiet, location. It's also walking distance into the quaint town of Julian. However, the walk back up to the house might be a bit much for some as it's a steep driveway. The views from the porch, for us, were pretty and relaxing. We saw a couple of turkeys and some rabbits around the house (last time we also had deer!) The house was warm and welcoming, and because it was pretty cold the week we stayed, we enjoyed the fireplace every night. We bought the wood and fire starters from the market in town. The manager, also warm and welcoming, was always available to answer our questions - which I really appreciated. Check out was a breeze. We plan on returning soon! Love this house!!!

Nice home!

The owners retired a couple years ago, apparently. The current property manager is rude and very unprofessional. Avoid staying here. The management will make you regret it.

Girls weekend and birthday celebration

A charming, quaint house, 5 of us were very comfortable. The outdoor spaces are equally lovely. It is very conveniently located to the downtown area but not walking distance. Tucked away in an orchard, it’s quiet and secluded. Communication pre check-in was excellent and no issues getting in and getting settled. We were given LOTS of good information about where to eat, what to do and also hiking and outdoor options. We would definitely go back!!! Many thanks for the hospitality and the apple cider!!!

Great family getaway

We enjoyed The Orchard House so much! Just minutes from downtown Julian, but seemed miles away. The view from the porch is amazing. We loved watching the wild turkeys and hummingbirds. There is great hiking nearby. We had fun stomping grapes at the Grape Stomp Festa. Loved hard cider tasting. Enjoyed Julian Farm and Orchard. And oh my is that Julian apple pie the absolute best!

We loved our stay here. House was so roomy and has a peaceful vibe with a relaxing porch. All the beds are on the firm to hard side fyi. Kitchen is roomy and nice amenities ( though stove/oven is old) The house is big enough for a large family. lots of nice places to bird watching right from the house or go for a drive.

About the host

Hosted by Tracey Allen, Site Manager

Keith and Priscilla Webb have been married since 1986. Though retired, they moved to Julian in 2010 and knew they needed to keep busy. After all, Priscilla is actively involved in fundraising efforts for the poor and needy in a variety of non-profit groups. Remembering their fondness for fruit from the Julian Farmer’s Market, Keith decided to try his hand at farming. So they bought their first apple orchard across from the Julian High School--Apple Lane Orchard. We are very proud of our apple cider manufacturing and distribution and the Wedding and Event Venue and Vacation Cottage. We hope you enjoy your stay at beautiful Apple Lane Orchards.
