The lodge surpassed my expectations. It is a nice place with private rooms and a shared area with a full kitchen and pool table. The view from the deck is very nice and we enjoyed the stay.

Loved the quiet and the close location to Julian. No TV just Netflix, Hulu etc. could watch local news. Air conditioner in room very noisy but worked well. It was self checked which we didn’t know about in advance even though it worked out ok.

Overall Great Stay
Everything was too notch except for two complaints- the refrigerator’s cooler was extremely loud and woke us up in the middle of the night so that we had to unplug it. The AC unit’s fan rotation mechanism was squeaky and that unit needs to be serviced.

Great stay
Bigger vehicles may have a hard time getting up the hill & into a spot to park. The room was clean & overall comfortable (we stayed in "tranquillity". The only downside was the mini fridge kept making noise randomly and it was pretty awful sounding. Checking in we had an issue where our entry code wasn't the right one, and didn't hear back about a correction until the next day. Thankfully it had been open for us though. Overall great place though! And there are some friendly outdoor cats that we totally fell in love with.

"simplicity" room was clean and nicely maintained but is a bit on the small side. Not a lot of places to put bags. Bed 1 foot from the wall, so it's hard to get in and out and of course no side table. Very little shelf space in the bathroom. Still was a good deal for the price, and a lovely lodge.

Excellent experience with Tucker Peak Lodge. Staff was responsive and professional. The bed was AMAZING! The sheets were so soft, pillows and duvet were fluffy, and the mattress was soft. Seriously the best hotel bed I can recall! I stayed in Serenity. The check in & checkout process was really easy. It was very quiet and so private that I could open the blinds and enjoy nature right from my room. Great experience!

If you like scary things....
We needed a place to stay for the night instead of driving home. Hotels.com had it listed as the closest hotel to where we were located. Wrong! After driving 45 miles through dark and windy roads we finally arrived at Tucker Peak Lodge. They stated there was parking available but every space was taken. Our only option was to drive down the quarter mile driveway and park on the street and then climb the extremely steep driveway up to the lodge. Worse, my husband is in a wheelchair so I would have had to drop him off at the front door, parked the car in the street below, and hiked up this pitch black steep driveway all by myself. I was already spooked just from the drive up there. I would have had a heart attack had I had to walk up the long steep driveway by myself in the black of night. Nobody answered the phone at the lodge so I was unable to get assistance. Frustrated, we turned around and drove home despite being dead tired.

Beautiful place to stay while visiting Julian. Quiet rooms with beautiful views, lots of amenities. There is no staff at the location but are ready available when called. The hosts are very generous with snacks, teas, coffee, hot chocolate, and fireplace log,.. additional items also available at the shared kitchen at the self check-in office. Didn't give 5 stars for the room because of the tight door and loud bathroom fan. Kids loved their comfy beds but they were squeaky. My kids love this place and didn't want to leave; especially after couple days of playing and cuddling with the cute cats on the premise, they have already begged me to revisit soon.
