Check out our sister property! SACRED MOUNTAIN PRIVATE RANCH VRBO # 731357 encompassing an additional 53 majestic acres.
Loved this property. Owners were so welcoming. Fresh flowers and fruit. We felt appreciated. Check in and out process was easy. Internet was bad. However we understand that was secondary to weather. Everything else was perfect.
Great property for larger group - lots of space to spread out, with great amenities and meeting spaces. The barn was perfect for dinners - wish it had been warmer to take advantage of the awesome outdoor dining facilities!
Property was amazing. We overpacked because they had EVERYTHING we could possibly need. We especially loved the set up of the various bedrooms which gave us all some privacy while still being close by. It would be great to have the hot tubs heated upon arrival, but beyond that, it was perfect. We hope to come back soon!
We spent six glorious days at Sacred Mountain. The location, the views were spectacular, and the place carefully designed to encourage gathering, as well as offering plenty of quiet spaces to spread out. We were welcomed with a giant bowl of fruit and wine, and snacks in the pantry. It was fun to have different outdoor spaces to enjoy at different times, heavenly to swim under the canopy of trees, fun to visit the horses down the road and taste-test Julian apple pies. The manager was very helpful and prompt in responding to requests. All three generations of us loved every minute.
I had my wedding here in May 2018 and it was amazing. The staff were helpful in the set up and breakdown of the event, and the property is something out of a feature in a Home & Garden magazine. The interior of the residences/buildings on the property are so tastefully designed, even hanging out indoors feels like a luxury. It is well taken care of and very well stocked - we will be making it a tradition to come back every anniversary. Thanks Marti, Megan, and Robyn for the outstanding trip and service. You made our special day one that we will remember for the rest of our lives :)
We Stayed Here For Our Wedding. Best Weekend Of Our Lives. The Most Magical Place That We Will Never Forget! :) Thank You So Much Sacred Mountain!
We rented out Sacred Mountain Retreat for our recent wedding and we could not be any happier that we did. Marti and her staff were incredible and made sure we felt so taken care of throughout the whole planning process and during the event itself! Our guests were absolutely blown away by how beautiful the property was and enjoyed being able to stay at the retreat. The houses and accommodations are beautiful and everyone felt like they were staying at a five-star resort. The property was perfect for families and couples looking to enjoy a weekend away. We had several children staying with us for the weekend and they thoroughly enjoyed getting to go visit the horses, play in the playhouse and run around and explore the property. Their parents enjoyed getting to experience a mountain retreat, while also having the adorable town of Julian close by. As for the wedding itself, Marti, Megan and Melanie all made sure that the planning process went smoothly for us. They had contacts for vendors we needed and had recommendations on-hand and ready when we asked. Gabe and Daniel made sure all of our furniture was delivered to the correct areas around the property and were available for us if we needed anything over the weekend. Weddings are great, but they are also incredibly stressful and having the staff at Sacred Mountain there to help was something I will forever be grateful for. My friends and family have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience at the retreat and anyone who books here is in for a treat!
Booked for our wedding and had our closest friends and family stay with us. It was spectacular.!! The whole ranch had everything we could possibly need. Beds were extremely comfortable, felt like we were sleeping on a cloud. Had some technical difficulties with both hot tubs, but the on site ranch hand was very kind and came right away to assist. Marti and Melanie were always very professional and helpful from the moment we spoke. Hope to one day Book the ranch again!
We traveled with 3 other families (16 total) to this amazing property for a friend reunion. We ranged in ages of 12 to age 60. Being separated on the property a bit was a good thing with our young adult children (20's) who liked a bit of space (they were in the barn) while the rest of us stayed at the main house and the carriage house. We often ate each meal in a different location (all the beautiful outdoor areas to dine). We were astounded at the details that were in this property. Everything you could need (in the kitchen or the bedrooms/bathrooms) was already there for us. It was hot during our stay in July but the pool was a perfect temperature and there was great air conditioning in all rooms/locations. We saw tons of wildlife as well as birds, squirrels, etc. Top notch in all facets of our stay! We will definitely be back.
Loved getting married here! You will leave wishing it was your home.
