Inside Scoop

Before becoming Sacred Mountain, the location was known as Angel's Landing. The essence of angels and majesty can be felt on the mountaintop.
Due to our geopgraphic positioning we often get ocean breezes coming from the Pacific Coast. On any morning or dusk, you can spot wild turky and deer families roaming the property.

Champagne bottle for the "special guest"; whether Bride and Groom, Birthday Person, President/CEO.

Venue Features

The scene:: Sacred Mountain Julian is located on a hilltop within the old mining town of Julian, CA. In fact, SMJ has several previously utilized mines on the propery. You can feel the beauty and wealth of this land when you set foot here. Just a five minute drive from our property you can tour the historic sites of this area and the families that settled here first.

We would be more than happy to put you in contact with a local tour guide.
Design:: Sacred Mountain Julian consists of two ranch parcels. For over twenty years, the Retreat side of SMJ served as the private vacation ranch of a San Diego home seller/ designer. Purchasing the second parcel in 2012 from a local and memorable Julian family - the ranches were combined, millions of dollars put into renovations, and a separate Honeymoon House erected in 2019. Today there is a combined total of five impecciblly finished accomodations. Our overnight occupany suits up to thirty-four guests. Be sure to review our social media for images and videos.
