About Shadow Mountain Ranch
'FIND A NEED AND FILL IT has been a guiding principle for both Loretta, my wife of 65 years, and myself. When I retired from my career as a teacher and school administrator and she retired from her career as a nurse, rather then have me drive her to work and play golf until time to bring her home, we looked around to see what needs we could find. Loretta quickly saw a need for overnight housing since Julian was rapidly becoming a center for tourism. Bed-and-breakfast was such a new concept in California that our friends asked if we were going to serve breakfast in bed. Nobody knew much about how to proceed so we just opened our doors and started. To say that it was an instant success would be an understatement. There was a very real need, and both of us, having spent most of our lives in professions that served people, were ideally suited to it.

Guestbook comments from the owner
what a wonderful place you have build and grow. Everywhere we look we find interesting things and critters. We love to look out of the Highlanders and to see horses grazing. This was our first trip away from our baby, who turned six months today and is also my birthday. We will remember this stay thanks, until next time.

Wonderful!

Quite and Quaint
The grounds were beautiful and magical. The cottage itself was adorable and felt like you were truly stepping back into fairy tale. It certainly lived up to it's name "Enchanted". We fell in love with the place as soon as we drove in and even more so when we saw the cottage - can't wait to stay in the others and make more wonderful memories. I must mention the hosts and thank them for their hospitality, as they were fantastic. We had a very minor issue and simply wanted to inform them - they were very attentive and offered to move us into another room if we wanted. They also told of us of some of the local activities to help us better plan our evening. They were fantastic and I thank them for everything! Thank you for helping us make wonderful memories here! We will be returning again and again!
Quiet and relaxing
This place was amazing. My husband and I went for our 20 year wedding anniversary. It was quiet and peacefull and close enough that we could spend the day touring Julian.
Peaceful and Charming
My husband and I had such a wonderful time at the enchanted cottage! The property was serene and beautiful. The cottage was comfortable and cozy! It's within a five minute drive to a great trailhead for hiking and just a short drive into town. We would love to stay again!
We actually landed up staying in the Gnome Home on the same property. Very charming
It was a pleasure dealing with Hailey, who was very responsive and accommodated all our requests. The Gnome Home is funky and charming, although not quite as comfortable as we'd have liked. Minor irritations, such as not being able to locate the light switches, the lack of basic kitchenware and the cute, but less than comfortable "waterfall" shower, are what earned this accommodation a 4 instead of a 5. But all in all a fun experience on a beautiful property.
The Enchanted Cottage at Shadow Mountain
It was a snowy and windy weekend, but our cozy cabin was the perfect escape. We had a perfect view of the weather drama out across the meadow with the mountain in the background. The woolly cows were fun to watch too! It is a rustic place, but comfort is provided in the form of a wood burning stove, window seating and comfy bed. There is a microwave and small refrigerator, but bring your own napkins if you plan to heat up food. For us this was a perfect getaway.
Wonderfully relaxing
We stayed in the Enchanted Cottage just for a small weekend getaway, and it was exactly that- ENCHANTING! I am a lover of all things quirky and our cottage did not disappoint. I feel like I have fulfilled a childhood dream :) The whole property is beautiful and so very relaxing. We could watch the animals outside the big bay window and it was nice and quiet. Perfect for a short vacation away from the city, whenever I come up to Julian I think I will stay here exclusively from here on out! Love it!
