The gracious staff at Quiet Mind is what made our stay impeccable. Lake Cuyamaca next door was serene and nearby Julian was charming. What any visitor takes away from their experience here is entirely shaped by what they bring to it. Quiet Mind Mountain Lodge gave me exactly what I needed. My abundant thanks again to the staff and locals of the nearby Pub and town of Julian.

Love this place, super relaxing, and the staff is as helpful as can be! Great place for a solo retreat to unwind. The only negative thing I have to say is that I need to Dost a little better, but that's just mean it picking because I have a severe Dust allergy. Otherwise, 100% fantastic and really can't complain. I came back with a much quieter mind.

The place was old although clean. There were no amenities available- ‘no chef’ and the food offering was quite poor. The only redeeming quality was the helpfulness of the staff Bhakta. He was very limited in what he can offer though. The location was quiet as described - twas good enough for a goodnight sleep.
