Eaglenest Bed & Breakfast

From the outside it looks plain but the inside is far from being plain. The heaters work very well and the décor inside is designed and build very solid! The kitchen has pans, plates, silverware, cups, microwave, frige — it has it all. Even and bottle and wine opener for your spirits. The master bedroom is big with a walk-​in closet also. There is a cozy pull-​out bed with a TV and movies for the children on the second floor. The bathrooms and clean there are bathtubs are Jacuzzi style. We stayed for three days during December and it was very relaxing and about a mile away from main street Julian. The TV’s had Direct TV so that was a plus. We really enjoyed our stay here and we plan on coming back again this year. I highly recommend this place, it is well built, relaxing, easy to get to and all the accommodations even free WiFi connection.

Love love love! Jim & Julie are the best! And everything felt like home… If you are looking for a home away from home this is the place. The rooms are clean & cozy and just a quick one block walk to Main Street.
You will love this place

My husband and I really enjoyed staying at this B&B. Owners/​Innkeepers Jim & Julie went out of their way to ensure all guests received everything they needed or wanted. Very clean and wonderful homey touches everywhere. Their Golden Retrievers are adorable and very friendly. (Although when I get home I know my pups will think I «cheated» on them.). We also enjoyed watching the wild birds come up to the balcony in the morning to get their nuts for the day. Charming place right around the corner from downtown Julian.

This past weekend I was lucky enough to get a chance to stay at this picturesque and relaxing bed and breakfast.
Not only was this the ideal way to relax and get away for the weekend but Jim and Julie did everything possible to make the weekend even more enjoyable. The breakfasts they served were delicious and they provided an abundance of fresh fruit (as well as delicious baked goods for you sweet lovers out there).
The property itself is charming and located a short stroll from the popular areas of Julian. In addition their furbabies are some of the friendliest and most well behaved dogs I have ever encountered. My personal favorite is Georgie! She will sit calmly by your side and is the perfect companion for lounging.
This is probably one of my favorite bed and breakfasts that I have ever stayed at and it was made even more amazing by the amazing hosts! If you’re in Julian or just looking for a weekend getaway I wholeheartedly recommend this place! You’ll leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated from an amazing weekend!

We spent the weekend there July 31-​Aug. 2. Jim & Julie were great hosts and Jim’s breakfasts were amazing! Very clean and the Jacuzzi was a wonderful way to end the day. The pool was very big. Their Golden Retrievers were well behaved and loved greeting you in the morning. Little touches like muffins, cookies and candy on the table if you want them anytime was very nice.
The rooms were very soundproof. With a full house, we did not hear anyone. Quite, relaxing place to stay.

Great place to go if you want to be treated like a king and queen. The dogs are awesome. The breakfast was fabulous.

Spent two nights midweek in the Spring room upstairs. The hosts, Julie and Jim, were very nice and breakfasts were yummy! If you let them know your preferences, they catch on and have it available for you. I loved the boysenberry-​apple cider. The bed in our room was so comfortable that we wanted to take it with us. Our room had a fireplace and a sitting room and we gave ourselves permission to kick back and do nothing on our getaway. We’re not experienced at using B and Bs, but we had a good time there and would recommend it to anyone desiring that type of accommodation. The hot tub was a bonus and the view is beautiful. Forget Big Bear; Julian is my new mountain getaway. I forgot to mention its close proximity to town. We walked everywhere… To meals, to the Eagle Mine, etc.

When we arrived at Eaglenest there were chocolate chip cookies at the door. We stayed in the Winter room upstairs. The place was incredibly neat and clean. Jim made fantastic gourmet breakfasts for us during our stay the next two mornings, and both he and Julie were charming people. They have dogs, and I usually find such animals with their teeth glued to my leg, but not so with these. They were as sweet as their owners. I would recommend this place to anyone planning on spending time at a B&B in Julian.

Eaglenest is located within a block of town in a very quiet residential neighborhood. We stayed for two nights in the ‘summer’ room and would not change a thing because the owners have thought of everything. It was also evident that the establishment has been very well taken care of, no shortcuts here. We gave it 5 stars for going above and beyond. There were personal touches everywhere.
Our breakfasts were delicious and included a good variety of items. Each guest room has everything you would need or want for your stay, including detailed information about the local restaurants and ‘happenings’.
One more note, the owners Jim and Julie have the most loveable, polite and personable golden retrievers we’ve ever come across.
Don’t think twice about staying here…

Thriving on a penchant for the playful, Eaglenest BnB rallies with a pleasing comfort in its approach followed by a magnificent delivery. Our breakfasts purveyed a depth of flavor with an intangible balance urging the taste threshold and stoking desire. The delightfully detailed decorum is subtle in its complexity, and delicate in its intensity. The delicacies that dot the interior include a stocked pantry, fridge, brownies, milk and cookies which nudge integrity and shoulder the child in all of us. The hosts are respectful of the art form of innkeeping and elevate it elegantly. Hats off to Eaglenest. A return visit following this wet and blustery year-​ending treat is definitely in the cards. Kudos!

We recently stayed in the Spring Room at the Eaglenest for two nights and we had the best time. The room also has a sitting room which was perfect for the three of us. Jim, Julie and their four Golden Retrievers were so welcoming and warm. My 9 year old son couldn’t get enough of the dogs. We felt like we were at home.
Pros:
Comfortable bed (I didn’t want to get up for breakfast)
Super clean (I’m really picky)
Delicious breakfasts (a table full of food)
Pool and spa (we gazed at the stars from the jacuzzi)
Quiet (even though they were completely booked)
Balcony with a lovely view of the hills
Great location (just a block from the center of town)
Cons:
None
Thanks Jim & Julie. We will definately be back again!

We celebrated our 43^rd anniversary at the Eaglenest B&B in the Winter Room. Even though July is not the time to start the fireplace in this room (temps were in mid 80’s) it still gave off an ambiance of a wintry, cold & cozy, warm & cuddly inviting room. We stayed 3 nights & loved it! Jim & Julie were very attentive to all of our needs. We knew we were going to love it when we first walked into our Winter Room and found 2 «BIG» slices of fresh apple pies sitting on our table for us to enjoy with vanilla ice cream in the freezer! They had everything we needed here to make us comfortable, a community microwave, refrigerator, freezer, ice & sweet goodies throughout the home. They served the most wonderful large breakfast every morning along with fresh fruits, juices & Jim’s fantastic coffee. We especially loved Jim’s buttermilk oat pancakes! And Julie cooking right along side of him with all of her own specialties to surprise us with. They both make such a great team in pleasing their guests, it was a most wonderful experience for us. And when we asked about getting a massage, they recommended Debbie, a therapist that comes straight to you and gives you a massage there in the privacy of your own room! That was the highlight of our stay there! We will definitely be coming back here, maybe in the winter so we can try out that fireplace in the Winter Room.

We had an excellent stay at Eaglenest this weekend. We stayed for 1 night for our 2 year anniversary in the Spring Room. The room is upstairs, so it feels a bit more private than the other rooms, which I really liked.
The room itself was extremely spacious, and was essentially 2 rooms (bedroom itself and also living room with couch, lounge chair, and TV with cable). It was also nice to have an in window air conditioner, as our room got all the sun from sunset and became rather hot in the evening.
The owners have 3 golden retriever dogs, who are adorable and very sweet. Apparently they usually roam around, but the night we stayed someone else at the B&B was allergic, so we didn’t see them as much as we would have on another stay :(
Mini candies were everywhere, and we had use of the pantry for soda, water, and various toiletries. Also, amazing brownies were put out in the early afternoon, and we got piece of pie upon check in. The hosts were extremely sweet and welcoming, and made us feel at home. Check-​out wasn’t until 12pm, which gave us a nice amount of time before we had to leave.
We will absolutely come back if we get the chance. The only thing I am a bit sad about is that we missed the sweet french toast/​pancake breakfast that was being served on Sunday morning. We will need to come back again for that.

If you want to «Fly with the Eagles» as they say, this is a perfect place to land. Stayed at several B&B“s over the years but this place is on a different level. They have everything you need to be comfortable. The attention to detail is far more than you would expect. Could not find anything but admiration for their on going effort to make us feel like family. Every morning the golden retrievers (4 of them) we’re waiting at the top of the stairs. Each one with wagging tails & favorite stuffed toy on their mouth. You just had to smile. Up stairs is where breakfast is served. This is a treat for sure. From the fresh OJ & excellent coffee, to «Jim’s» specialty pancakes with home made strawberry purée/​sauce on top. Then there“s the Frittata breakfast, baked/​stuffed apples & potato’s. yum. The property is muti-​level decks, with the best views around. Expect the best possible high mountain experience a B&B can offer. Truly, I didn’t want to leave.

My husband and I got married at the end of February and closed on our new house after a harrowing escrow experience at the end of March. Those weeks didn’t leave a lot of time for honeymooning but we desperately needed to get away. With one day’s notice, I called Jim&Julie and they happened to have the Summer Room available for the weekend.
I can’t even describe how healing (emotionally physically and spiritually) our time at Eaglenest was.
Our room was cozy and cheerful; we absolutely crashed in the comfy sheets on the first night. During breakfast the next day, we were greeted by Eaglesnest’s ambassadors, Jim&Julie’s three Golden Retrievers. As much as the dogs undoubtedly appreciated all the belly rubs that I bestowed on them for the next couple days, I was the lucky one for getting all the puppy lovin’ that I don’t get at home from our angst-​filled kitty. We spent a good hour of Saturday morning reading and napping in backyard hammock. Later that night, Jim&Julie provided us with some bathrobes and went into their hot tub which sat under a sea of stars.
The romance package is worth the extra cost. Debbie, the gifted massage therapist, who works with them was literally the best that my husband or I had ever had. The horse&carriage ride was such a fun way to spend the afternoon and we got a kick out of the fact that Brett, the horse, gave us curbside service to our dinner reservations.
Next to marrying each other, visiting Eaglenest and Julian was one of the best decisions that we’ve made in months.

We had a wonderful stay at Julie and Jim’s B&B. Warm fireplace, delicious breakfast and wonderful crumb cake for the taking. Very clean and quiet.

If I could give 10 STARS, I would. 5 STARS FOR EACH NIGHT my wife and I stayed there.
Jim and Julie not only run the best bed and breakfast in Julian but probably one of the best in the country.
Fresh squeezed orange juice every morning, coupled with Jim and Julie’s fantastic and gourmet breakfasts (better than Marston’s in Pasadena or Dish in La Crescenta or 5 times better than any chain breakfast restaurant you have been). Fresh, in season fruit, country trimmings etc.
And that is just the beginning.
My wife had a massage on the deck of our Winter room (best room with real fire place). Jim and Julie not only make the beds but replenish the fireplace EVERY day.
Then Jim made our entire itinerary, printed. Celebrating our anniversary meant Jim pampered us as well as any Ritz Carlton or Four Seasons we can think of. He printed our and had ready our dinner reservations, our horseback riding (with directions), carriage ride, massage, and second dinner.
Then there is the swimming pool, hot tub, hammock, movie library, drinks readily chilled, oven fresh brownies under glass, on and on.
Simply, the top is Jim and Julie become soul mates during our visit. Jim made a minor mistake with our stay and went so far beyond what was necessary that he should be added to the kindhearted hall of fame.
I also had a health scare prior to our visit, unresolved until returned home (OK) and Julie and JIm prayed with us.
Halleluyah and blessings to both.
You will be loved, you will be cherished in your visit.
These two belong in Unilocal Hall of Fame. They make Unilocal worth visiting.
We’ve recommended our parents stay there, others and we will return just to stay with them again.
We are better people for knowing them.

This place is so amazing I am going back this year too! I will probably make it a yearly trip. Jim and Julie are amazing and you feel like you’re at home. The breakfast is wonderful. I could go on and on about this place. Try the romance package. it’s my favorite!!!
You choose the guestroom for a two night stay, and we will set up the Champagne, Fresh Flowers and Box of Chocolates for your arrival. We will arrange for your One Hour Horse-​Drawn Carriage Ride to pick you up at the home, and will then top off your stay with Full Body Massages, One Hour for each of you, private in your guestroom~

My husband and I stayed here with my in-​laws in December and had an amazing time! We stayed for two nights. My husband and I in the Winter Room and my in-​laws in the Spring Room. We loved the winter room! The fireplace kept the room warm all night! The Spring Room was also great since it is the only one on the second floor and has a small private living room area. Jim was great and we loved Will, Grace, and Luke. The breakfast was amazing both mornings, with more than enough food to go around. Jim even offered to make my coffee, using his milk frother… yum! They also make sure to leave snacks out during the stay… turtle brownies and apple pie! It’s also close enough to walk to Main Street. We love Julian and will definitely come back to this B&B. We are even considering making it an annual family vacation.
** Must love dogs :)

Jim and Julie also are the hosts of Eagle in the Pines, their dog-​friendly cabin, just a short distance from their B&B. It’s tough for my husband and I to find a nice place that will take our two big dogs, and we’re so grateful that they don’t have any size limitations here.
The cabin is a gorgeous A-​frame, and filled with every amenity you could ask for. There’s a nice-​sized fenced area for the dogs to play in with a little porch where we have our morning coffee. One gigantic bedroom upstairs with a huge king bed, and another nice-​sized bedroom, and both have beautiful large bathrooms. I especially like the giant jetted tub downstairs. The kitchen is fantastic and they have everything we need to cook up a storm. The living room has a charming gas fireplace and hookups for an iPod to the stereo. There’s also wifi and tons of board games.
Everything is perfectly clean, thoughtfully appointed, and lovingly decorated. We just returned from our second visit, and will be coming back as soon as we can get away again.
