    Until next time
    Jami G.

    Quiet mind was exactly what my nervous system needed--calm, grounding, and thoughtfully designed. As a solo traveler, I felt safe, seen, and supported. Adam helped create that experience--present, kind, and available without ever being intrusive. Lorien was also incredibly helpful in guiding me to the perfect spa package and navigating the meal plan options, which made everything feel easy and personalized. The gardens, birds, and peaceful energy made it feel really special. The massages were incredible--each therapist was intuitive, warm, and attentive. I especially appreciated the quiet evenings and chance to disconnect. I left feeling reset and grateful, and I will absolutely return.

    Such a relaxing place and warm and welcoming staff. My friend and I felt right at home. She got a massage, which was one of the best she's had. The bed was comfy and I was able to charge my car. This isn't luxury but they have focused everywhere it counts and delivered an exceptional experience. I'll say I'm normally a luxury person but was not disappointed. View was great, breakfast was good and nature was all around. I will return.

    Quiet Mind was amazing on a number of levels in my recent stay with my wife for 3 nights. The grounds and resort itself have a great vibe set with traditional decoration around the whole place and a wonderful garden out front over looking the lake. I've lived in San Diego for 15 years and never visited the area other than going to Julian. I cannot recommend enough to everyone to stay here instead of the touristy Julian town itself. Julian is great but if you're looking to really disconnect from reality and reconnect with yourself/partner/etc, this is the place. The yoga, energy sessions, and massages were all wonderful. Special shoutout to Denise, Liz, Gretchen, and everyone involved with the food.

    Well positioned hotel

    Super location! Great communication! Clean clean! Better to bring your bikes and boat so you can enjoy more than the view!

    Sarah - self identified as "manager" - concierge services (correct title)

    We spent over $1,800 on a two-night stay at Quiet Minds Retreat, and what followed was one of the most unprofessional and disturbing experiences we've ever had. The retreat failed to deliver on what was advertised, including "gourmet meals," which were far below that standard. The situation escalated when staff members identified to us as Sarah and Adam accused us of being intoxicated and "threatening"--claims that are completely untrue and were never substantiated. In reality, we were attempting to address concerns about the quality of services from the start of our stay. We were also told that Sarah was the only manager on-site. However, subsequent information indicates discrepancies in how management roles are represented, raising further concerns about transparency and accountability. We were then removed from the property with a sheriff present, despite no legitimate cause. Being publicly accused of that kind of behavior and escorted off the property was humiliating and unacceptable. To make matters worse, after being removed, we were still charged an additional $200 for a service that was never provided. What is especially concerning is that prior to this escalation, the retreat acknowledged issues and attempted to "make up for the errors" in writing--yet now refuses to take meaningful accountability. The handling of the situation, including dismissive and unprofessional behavior we experienced, only added to the distress of the situation. As a couple, including my Hispanic husband who is a 10-year Marine Corps veteran, this experience raises serious concerns about how we were treated and why. The overall handling of this situation felt targeted, unjustified, and deeply unprofessional. Since the incident, communication has been cut off, making it nearly impossible to resolve the matter or obtain basic answers. We paid for a peaceful, high-quality experience and instead were met with false accusations, removal under law enforcement, additional improper charges, and zero accountability. Public records also indicate that a business entity associated with this retreat has been listed as suspended and dissolved in California, raising additional concerns about compliance, transparency, and lawful operation. At this point, we are pursuing formal action based on potential violations of California consumer protection laws, including failure to provide contracted services, misrepresentation, and improper removal of paying guests. All documentation--including written communication acknowledging issues--has been retained. We strongly urge others to think carefully before booking. Based on our experience, this is not a business that operates with integrity, transparency, or respect for its guests.

    Great hotel location and staff. Got an amazing rate last minute on booking.com. Sunset jacuzzi time overlooking the lake was amazing! Would definitely stay again. We forgot toothbrushes and toothpaste and we received complimentary ones to help us get settled 1st night.

    Gorgeous furnishings

    This place is amazing. Gorgeous accomodations the rooms are amazing. If you're looking for some peace tranquility and rejuvenation this is the place for you. Excellent staff, beautiful lake views. I love it and will definitely be back again and again.

    Breakfast and peace

    Great spot to escape . The staff was very kind respectful and responsive . This is a great hidden gem .

    Man oh man, where do I begin? I can imagine what this establishment is trying to achieve but they're sorely missing the mark. My bad experience started before I even stepped foot onto this property. I tried reaching out via email 3 different times to tell them I'm coming here for my birthday and would really appreciate if they could make it special and provide any guidance on the property. All these emails were met with radio silence. A week before my check-in date I was sent an email to pre-book spa services. I decided to text the number they said to text and I finally got a response. They told me to call them about my room and they said there is a plumbing issue in one of my rooms and they needed to move me. Fine, right? Wrong. I reserved 2 lake view rooms and they only provided me one. They conveniently left out this key part until we checked in and went to our rooms. I was greeted with a vase of flowers and hand written sign saying happy birthday which was nice. We saw right away that would our mini fridge was leaking onto the floor and in the fridge itself. We texted them to please check this out and we would like to use our sauna credit they had given us to use for the room switch-up. We asked when we could get a session in at 5:45 and at 5:58 they said they can get us in at 6PM. We hurriedly got ready and stopped by the empty and eerie spa. No one was around. The front desk lady arrived and turned on our sauna right then... The halotherapy was just a couple salt diffusers and lamps on a table you could buy off Amazon. There was a dead mosquito in one on the salt lamp lights... The sauna was only 98 degrees when we got in and clearly has never been cleaned since there were sweat marks all over it and the towels were small and raggedy. The door in the sauna room had NO LOCK creating an uncomfortable environment. There was no TV or music in the room, just silence. When we got back to our room, we saw the puddle from the fridge AGAIN - this time, larger. We got our appetizers at 7:30 and asked for our dinner to be delivered in the common room so they could fix the fridge while we ate. When we went into the common room, I saw the biggest spider I've ever seen just chillin on the wall. We were told our entrees would be delivered in 30 mins but it took them 1 HOUR. They didn't keep us updated at all. When I finally got the food, it was not worth the wait and there was a BLOND HAIR in my food... GAHHH. They really can't do anything right here. The rooms are outdated and dilapidated. The bathroom paint is peeling, a screw fell out of one of the chairs while sitting on it, the walls are paper thin, there's no door chain on the doors allowing easy break-ins, you can see through to the hallway from the room, the vents are rusty and the ceiling fan hasn't been dusted in decades. I could see a thick layer of dust on it from the bed. I'm glad I brought a white noise machine and eye mask to sleep. I wouldn't be able to sleep if I hadn't brought these essentials... The outdoor furniture is sad and dirty. Many more employees need to be hired to upkeep this place- it's just sad looking! There's even a hole in the roof in one part... How does anyone give this place five stars!?? I really am not a person to complain but this was just terrible...

    PLeASE check the weather before to make reservations!!

    Love this studio, such a friendly and welcoming community with so many amazing teachers.read more

    Updating my review…read more Tyler and Sam reached out to me upon reading my review and graciously offered to make up an instructor no-showing by comping their $30/30 days special. This alone speaks volumes of how much they care about their business and the community. After taking 2-4 classes a week for the past 4 weeks, I can say they absolutely deserve 5 stars. There is a separate restroom down the hall which has a code for extra security/privacy. Their studio is clean, smells great, and offers beautiful views and vibes both during the day and night. I love the view of the mountains during the day and the natural light. At night, depending on which class you take, you could partake in a candle lit class, a cool color-changing class, sound bath classes, and more. I have taken classes with Sam, Alyssa, Keshia, and Jen. They all offer a unique experience and I enjoyed each of them in a different way. So much variety AND time slots, you are sure to find what you need. From slow flows, to sculpt classes (fun!), to sound bath/meditative classes, and even mat pilates. So many options. I really enjoy hot classes and I believe they only offer hot classes on Saturdays (they do offer warm classes throughout the week though!) They are close enough to the Trolley Station where you can easily get a smoothie or quick bite before or after class, but far enough so parking is never a problem. Perfect location. I came across their studio through ClassPass and so glad I did. I am the type that enjoys both "personal" studios and "commercial" studios for separate reasons. If you like personal studios, I'd highly recommend The Balanced Yogi. Be a part of the family and enjoy the opportunity of growing with their teachers on their journeys.

    I've been attending classes at Align for a little over a year now, and I can't recommend it enough!…read moreComing from the world of CrossFit and high-intensity workouts, I initially thought Pilates would be an easy "break" for my body. In some ways, it has been a much-needed shift, but I was so wrong about it being "easy"--Align classes are no joke! They're challenging in the best way, and I've never felt stronger (or lighter) in my life. I even have obliques now--who knew?! I love that every class is a full-body workout, fine-tuning muscles I didn't even know existed. The Align community is also something special. I was super nervous attending my first class as a complete reformer Pilates newbie, but the instructors were so welcoming and made me feel at ease right away. Now, I'm completely hooked--and I've even converted some of my friends into regulars, too! If you're considering trying Pilates, Align is the place to do it.

    My husband and friends are probably tired of hearing me rave about how amazing Align Pilates is, so…read moreI figured it's time to put my thoughts into a review! I've always been an avid exerciser, but Align has taken that to another level. I've been going there for almost a year, and the transformation in both my body and mind has been remarkable. I do strength training and practice yoga regularly and the classes at Align perfectly complement those activities. If you're looking for a Pilates studio that's more than just a place to work out but a truly warm and welcoming community, you've found it here. I can't say enough great things about Alexa, the owner, the other instructors, and the fellow Pilates-goers. They also offer yoga, sound baths, and wellness retreats, making Align a one-stop shop for all your wellness needs. I feel so grateful to have found this incredible community!
