Property was very quiet and lake view was beautiful. It was relaxing stay. There were way too many budda statues which was the only downside.

The Quiet mind lodge was so cool! And a much needed getaway for me and my partner. We enjoyed the food, pool table, and beautiful views! Our room was cute and the bed was very comfortable. We are definitely coming back. Thank you Adam and Sarah for the hospitality and good vibes.

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.

I liked the serenity of the property . However , it’s an older property which is outdated . Found several spiders & bugs . The views are nice from the Lake side . Beds were comfy and recommend the suites. Parking near the facility is limited.

Beautiful place
It's a beautiful place front Cuyamaca Lake and 9 miles away from Julian, Indu style, bt maybe need most people attending the different things, and maybe has a pool. There is a jacuzzi but wasn't on service. But if you need stay away from the noise and traffic it's a good place to stay.
