I booked this place over the concerns of both my sister and wife who were skeptical the place would be a bit too new-agey for their east coast sensibilities - but they both loved it. The view of the mountains and lake from our room and the common area were enough to make it worth staying there. Very short drive to nearby Stonewall Peak which is a great day hike. Not far from the Slot Canyon trail and Three Sisters Falls if you want more hiking. Staff was not just polite and courteous like you expect but warm and friendly, almost felt like family. If you don't care for lodge menu there is a nice pub right on the lake just a few minutes away. Only wish we had the time to stay an extra day.

This place was very tranquil and quiet. Nice rooms, comfy bed. And did hear a dog barking in one of the rooms even though no pets allowed. Shower gel was almost empty. Not a big choice of dining options nearby.

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.

The Quiet Mind Mountain Lodge was a perfect getaway to unwind. The staff was friendly, we had a beautiful view of Lake Cuyamaca, we enjoyed sitting in the private patio relaxing. The rooms were clean, the AC kept the room nice and cool. Julian is very close nearby, the lodge offers several amenities to unwind. We enjoyed the lodge very much, we’d stay here again, it was very peaceful.
