Inner North Star through our Guests’ Eyes

Madison B.

I spent an extended weekend getaway there with my girlfriends, and it exceeded all our expectations. The property is unique, offering numerous cozy spots to relax and unwind. I loved waking up with a cup of coffee, admiring the breathtaking mountain views.

Michelle, our host, made every meal so we could fully enjoy our vacation without a single concern about cooking. We had a blast playing bocce ball and later indulged in the wellness center, which featured a sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub.

Dining outside on the deck, we had pizza from the outside pizza oven while watching the sunset. We then enjoyed drinks in the champagne room before relaxing by the firepit and stargazing from the chaise lounges. The city lights seem a world away, revealing a stunning night sky.

This property is exceptional, and I highly recommend it. It was the perfect getaway, and I’m already looking forward to returning next year for our annual girls’ weekend.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the inner North Star retreat center and it was an unforgettable experience. The stunning views are absolutely breathtaking, and you can’t miss how amazing the sunsets and sunrises are! The atmosphere is incredibly calming; every detail seems thoughtfully designed to foster relaxation and rejuvenation. From the peaceful surroundings to the serene ambiance, it’s clear that a lot of care went into creating a space where guests can truly unwind. Whether you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle or simply find a peaceful retreat, this center offers a perfect sanctuary. I left feeling refreshed and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

“THIS is a retreat for the mind, body, spirit like no other. Where do I begin?! As soon as we arrived we felt transported from the chaos of city noise and traffic to calm and serenity that you can only find in nature. We felt immediately more grounded and calm. We started with a meditation walk along the paths around the orchards and vineyard. (Found the bocce ball court that we visited a few times!) After hiking and breathing the magnificent mountain air, our wellness experience continued to red light therapy and the infrared sauna. We then did the cold plunge, and later the hot tub – which are outdoors!!! Even the shower is outdoors! We ended our day enjoying a glass of Temecula wine outside around the fire to watch the gorgeous sunset on the deck. You cannot get closer to the healing virtues of nature than this! We left with a new-found sense of balance and peace and with another wellness getaway already scheduled. Thank you for a magical experience!”

This is my second stay at the Inner North Star Retreat Center. They have the most magical grounds to experience relaxation, meditation, and nature walks. We also added in the wellness experience with Biofeedback and HRV. I can’t tell you how happy we are that we came here again.

From the incredible mountain ranges, the cleanliness of the air, and the stars at night… it’s really incredible. We even got to do some apple picking right outside our door!

I feel wonderful, fulfilled, realigned, and the stress of the outside world is gone. I highly recommend coming here. We will be back again soon!

My husband and I recently stayed at Inner North Star Retreat Center for a unique birthday celebration. Two things stood out to us: the stress of city life vanishes, and you reconnect with nature. The beautiful sunrises, mountain views, birdlife, and starry night skies were unforgettable. We especially loved the Fairy Garden and spotting wildlife like woodpeckers and hummingbirds. At 4000 feet, the night sky is filled with stars and the Milky Way—something you can’t see in the city. We left feeling peaceful, relaxed, and deeply connected to nature. Highly recommend!
