    **Stay Together. Walk Everywhere. Experience Julian from the Heart of Town.**

    Welcome to The Heart of Julian, your home away from home in historic Julian!

    Stay together. Walk everywhere. Experience Julian from the heart of town.

    The Heart of Julian is a spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath vacation home designed for families and groups who want more than a place to sleep—they want a comfortable home base where everyone can stay together while enjoying Julian just steps from the front door.

    With five queen beds and room for up to 10 guests, there’s space to gather, relax and make the weekend your own. Enjoy morning coffee on the balcony, dinner outdoors beneath the string lights, an evening around the gas fire pit, or a cozy night inside after a day exploring the mountains.

    WHY THIS HOUSE
    Because traveling together is better when you can actually stay together. Instead of separating your group among hotel rooms, THOJ gives you a full home with comfortable gathering spaces, four bedrooms, five queen beds, a well-equipped kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining, wet bar, gazebo and multiple places to unwind.

    And yes—dogs are welcome, too.

    WHY THIS LOCATION
    Because in Julian, location changes the entire experience.

    The Heart of Julian is approximately two blocks from historic Main Street, putting shops, restaurants, bakeries, tasting rooms, seasonal celebrations and many of Julian’s most popular attractions within an easy walk.

    Park the car. Settle in. Then experience town on foot.

    Spend the morning exploring Julian, head out for hiking or a mountain adventure in the afternoon, and return home without giving up the convenience of being right in town.

    WHY BOOK WITH US
    Because a great stay is about more than the house.

    The Heart of Julian is independently hosted and professionally managed with clear communication, thoughtful guest information and the little details that make arriving somewhere unfamiliar feel easy. We’ve welcomed guests to Julian for years and are proud of the hundreds of five-star reviews our hospitality has earned across our businesses and booking platforms.

    You’ll know what to expect before you arrive, how to reach us when you need us, and how to make the most of your time in Julian.

Wow! Beautiful property.

This home was beautiful! It was just me & my husband for 2 days, so we didn't use it to its full potential, but would love to go back with extended family. The place was absolutely spotlessly clean. Beautifully decorated, and the location can't be beat. Walking distance to town in just a couple minutes but the walk back is uphill...not bad, just reminded us we are out of shape. Definitely on our list of places to go back when our adult kids come to visit.

House is nice and very close to town. Description online was very accurate. Enjoyed our time in the mountains. Hurricane which is once in a lifetime for this area was no problem. House was safe and neighbors and community were very nice and helpful.

Clean, comfortable, and cool place to stay during unusually hot summer day

The place is as advertised. Comfortable beds - lots of towels for everyone. We utilized washer and dryer - that was convenient. We were worried that the a/c unit would not be sufficient for a super hot weekend - but it was - and there are ceiling fans in all of the rooms. We had an amazing pie from Julian Pie Company. Quecho is a quick walk down the street and had delicious burritos too. Very nice place to stay while in town for a wedding.

Heart of Julian May'24

Very nice, spacious property. Tree over the driveway drops yellow, dusty pods all over the vehicles. Might be a seasonal occurrence. Everything else was great! Not a disability or elderly guest friendly house. Clean venue, hostess was very responsive and the beds were comfortable.

Great Location in Julian

This home is located within walking distance to the center of Julian. There are lots of hiking trails to explore. Our family included grandkids from 13 —> 21 yrs. No one was bored. We were surprised by the multiple large gathering places inside and outside this home. The home was clean and the kitchen is well-stocked with cooking utensils. The owner provided detailed descriptions for the house and was easy to contact if we had a question. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to enjoy this home and Julian.

Great family stay

We stayed here for two nights with another family in April for spring break. Julian was such a wonderful, quaint town and we were so grateful for this home as home base. We walked into town 3x to eat Julian pie, Julian BBQ, wine taste and get gifts for the kids. Priscilla's place was perfect for our party of 8. She was very detail oriented with the check in process and the guidelines of the home. At first I was overwhelmed by the instructions but then totally understood the rationale behind the details! The house was perfectly equipped with great blankets, heaters in each room, towels, pillows and the kitchen was well stocked with equipment as we cooked breakfast and dinner at home. We appreciated the porch the most, at it was clean and perfect for sitting to watch the sunset and have coffee in the morning. Thank you Priscilla! Thank you Julian! We had a wonderful time and the kids had a blast!

This was an ideal property for our group of 9 attending a family wedding at a nearby ranch. We loved the front porch and spent some downtime just relaxing there between wedding events. The bedroom and bath layout worked for us. We didn't cook, but it was a two block walk to some excellent local restaurants for breakfast. We loved both the Miner's diner and the Purple Owl cafe. There are a number of cute shops as well and the entire town is an easy walk from the house. Overall a great stay and the house manager was very responsive, answering a couple of questions we had during our stay very promptly.
