The Regulars offers specialty coffee, tea, baked goods, breakfast, lunch, craft beer, and wine. Julian Cider Mill sells fresh local cider, homemade fudge, classic preserves, and nostalgic candies.

“The lodge seems a mixed bag; although staff friendliness gets consistent praise, some report issues that detract from the mountain getaway vibe. It's walking distance to the town's main attractions, which is a definite plus, and some rooms have appealing features like larger bathrooms. However, be aware that experiences can vary significantly.”
