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.

Vacation for Grandma

We wanted to take my grandmother out of town for a week, and she had a great time. The house was beautiful and well maintained. At night it did get down into the 30's and we really only used the pellet stove downstairs to heat the whole house. My brother was in shock with how much the kitchen came equipped with! And the communication with our body was above and beyond what i expected. It was a wonderful retreat, and we would gladly do it again.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Priscilla Town

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Priscilla! I’m a San Diego native with a deep love for Julian’s mountain charm and small-town warmth. As a bilingual Notary Public and Wedding Officiant, I enjoy helping couples celebrate love by issuing marriage licenses and officiating ceremonies — saving them time and offering convenience. Hosting at The Heart of Julian allows me to share this special town, its seasons, and its experiences with guests. I also love curating concierge services, spa add-ons, and cooking classes to make every stay effortless, personal, and unforgettable.

Why they chose this property

Julian has always enchanted me with its small-town charm and mountain beauty. When I first discovered this home, it felt meant to be — the timing, the history, and the character all came together perfectly. We’ve poured our love and care into making it a warm retreat, blending historic charm with modern comforts. What I enjoy most about this neighborhood is its walkable access to Main Street — apple pie, shops, wineries, and festivals are just steps away — yet you still feel tucked into a peaceful mountain escape. Now I get to share that same sense of wonder with every guest who stays here.

What makes this property unique

The Heart of Julian is more than a stay — it’s an exclusive experience. Our historic 4-bedroom retreat in the heart of town is designed for privacy, comfort, and connection. We specialize in hosting small groups — with overnight stays for up to 14 guests and intimate gatherings for up to 40. What makes us unique is the personal touch: concierge services, spa treatments, cooking classes, wine tours, and on-site weddings or elopements where I can issue marriage licenses and officiate ceremonies. Every detail is curated to ensure your time here feels private, effortless, and unforgettable.
