My boyfriend and I booked a weekend in the Gnome Home for our one year anniversary. Neither of us have ever been to Julian before and we stumbled upon Shadow Mt. Ranch when searching for places to stay. Everything at this location was amazing! The hospitality, delicious breakfast, scenery, and above all...privacy. Although, I wouldn't recommend the Gnome Home specifically... More

Tracy was amazingly hospitable as we checked in, I had a long, hot bath in the clawfoot tub (*love* those!) and we spent the afternoon visiting with the horses in the pasture behind the inn, then came into our cottage (the 2-bedroom, 2-bath Manzanita Cottage) and lost all track of time in front of the fireplace.

This must be one of the most charming places in whole California. We stayed at the Gnome house (2 people) and Tree House (1 person). We absolutely loved everything and will go back, for sure!!

The cabin was immaculate and beautifully decorated with a nice cozy, warm feel. The host and hostess are lovely people and provide a wonderful getaway with peace and quiet and total relaxation.

My husband and I went to Julian to visit one of his clients on Oct16th. We stayed at Shadow Mountain Ranch which is a bed and breakfast for the night. We chose the tree house and it was a good choice, now I can tell you. Loretta and Jim, the owners, are friendly and helpful. Our room was small but... More

My wife and I stayed here for the Valentine's day weekend this year. When I called the only thing available was the Manzanita cabin and I'm glad. The cabin was bigger than our condo! It has two bedrooms and two baths, a full kitchen, living room and dining room. There is also a front porch and a back porch but... More
