Shadow Mountain Ranch

Nice little get away. We had booked our stay at the gnome home but a maintenance emergency happened the day before our trip and we were placed in the manzanita. It was still a nice stay. Beautiful views, you can see so many stars at night. One of the restrooms in the unit was out of order, but the larger master bathroom was still available. I planned on using the bath but the water was yellow, I'm assuming from the well water or from the copper fixtures. Other that these issues I would definitely return.

This ranch has several darling themed rooms -- including a gnome home! We stayed in "Grandma's Attic." The name may sound old and stuffy, but it is charming and cozy. It has a garden theme, a wedding dress as part of the decor, and a private balcony. I could have stayed in the room and not gone out all weekend and been very content. It is a lovely, relaxing getaway. They let you borrow DVDs to watch for free, but the only disappointment I had about the place is that the TV is too small and set high on top of a refrigerator, contrary to what the more dated photo shows. But usually one doesn't stay at a place like that to watch TV anyway. I just loved that place and thought I should share it.

My family and I went to Shadow Mountain Ranch for a fun winter getaway and we stayed in the Manzanita cabin. We loved the homie feeling and the set up of the cabin itself with a beautiful dining room, a great kitchen, two awesome rooms with their own bathroom. The door to the bathroom in the first bedroom did not close properly but otherwise, there was nothing else wrong in the cabin. The master bathroom was amazing and spacious just as the photos showed. The living room was really nice to spend time watching movies, reading, playing games, or talking by the fireplace. The dining room has a beautiful view and a really nice sitting area nook to read or lay down. The patio is also really nice to sit outside and relax. The Wifi wasn’t the best but if you plan on disconnecting then it’s should

We rented their house and patio for 4th of July and it was not good. The owner kept being very negative and offensive, always trying to shut down our bbq even though we paid for it. I wouldn’t stay there even if it was free.

My hunny and I LOVE Shadow Mountain Ranch! Our favorite place to come relax and enjoy the calm of nature 💜 Definitely a hidden gem in the sweet town of Julian!
