We had an amazing stay at the Quiet Mind Retreat. The offering of services there was amazing and the view and serene atmosphere was a welcome experience. The view of the Cuyamaca lake from the lodge was spectacular. The massage experts and energy and yoga specialists were top notch and the cell phone free zones and encouraged quiet time was much needed.
This was a wonderful experience and a cherished memory we would like to repeat.
Sincerely,
Daniel and Andria B.

Very quiet place to stay for couple days to recharge or reconnect with your partners.
Frinedly staffs. Onsite food limited options amd just ok. I would recommend go to julian town for more option.
The properties look fine. Not excellent but good enough for short stays. The property is older and do need some upkeep. I wouldnt expect a very nice room. It's small. I think 1-2 days stay is good. More than that not much to do there.

I am a teacher and I am always looking for ways to release tension. This retreat space was full of positive energy. The atmosphere was conducive to release of negative energy. I was completely rejuvenated. It was quiet, enjoyable and serene. So much so that when my blood pressure was taken it was normal. I absolutely recommend this place.

Me and my husband really enjoyed being here. We will be back again. I think that this might be our weekend getaway once a year. It was very beautiful. We enjoyed ourselves. Sarah and Adam are very, very sweet. I don’t remember her name, but she was the helper. She was very, very sweet and kind.

Everything about this property was excellent from the easy check in to the checkout. Reina who assisted us with check in was very welcoming and made us feel like VIP. The continental breakfast was good and had a great selection. We will definitely stay here again in the fall.
