Everything was clean and well kept. This is an excellent venue for small wedding parties or family events. It was a place for our family to rest during a busy wedding weekend.
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.
Overall great home. Very close to Main Street. Walked several times back and forth.

We went to Julian for a family wedding. Great house, walking distance to Main Street and all the shops. Clean house, very comfortable to stay, outdoor patio was perfect for morning coffee. Had a great time.
The property is as depicted in the photos. It was very nice and clean, with an amazing outdoor area for entertaining guests. The hosts charged us a 250 fee for hosting a dinner party, for which they provided 4 round tables and 32 chairs for our use.

Went up to Julian to watch the Perseid Comet shower. 3 couples of old friends got together and had a wonderful time at this beautiful house. It had everything we needed and more. Communication with the owner was great. Couldn’t be happier and we would love to stay there again.
Great home if no mobility issues. Outside stairs are very steep and inside stairs are large. Outside area is great for a family.

About the host
Hosted by Priscilla P. Cueva
Hi, I'm Priscilla! I'm a San Diego native with a deep love for Julian's mountain charm, small-town hospitality, and beautiful four seasons. Hosting The Heart of Julian allows me to share one of Southern California's most special destinations with guests from near and far.
I enjoy helping visitors discover everything Julian has to offer—from apple orchards, wineries, and festivals to scenic hiking trails and relaxing mountain escapes. My goal is to provide a comfortable, welcoming experience where families, friends, and couples can create lasting memories.
I also enjoy curating optional concierge experiences, local recommendations, wellness services, and special touches that make each stay feel personal, effortless, 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 hearts into creating a warm and welcoming retreat that blends historic charm with modern comforts. What I love most about this neighborhood is its walkable access to Main Street, where guests can enjoy Julian's famous apple pie, unique shops, wine tasting rooms, restaurants, and seasonal festivals—all just steps away.
Yet despite being so close to town, the home still feels like a peaceful mountain escape. Sharing that balance of convenience, charm, and tranquility with guests is one of the most rewarding parts of hosting The Heart of Julian.
What makes this property unique
The Heart of Julian offers the perfect balance of convenience, comfort, and authentic mountain-town charm. One of its most unique features is its location—guests can walk to Julian's historic Main Street to enjoy apple pie, restaurants, wine tasting rooms, breweries, boutique shopping, and seasonal festivals, then return to the privacy and comfort of a peaceful retreat.
Designed to bring people together, the home comfortably accommodates families, friends, and small groups with inviting indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. Whether you're planning a wine weekend, family vacation, girls' getaway, birthday celebration, or simply a relaxing escape to the mountains, The Heart of Julian provides the ideal setting.
To make your stay even more memorable, optional concierge services are available upon request, including spa treatments, cooking classes, private chef experiences, wellness services, and curated local experiences. Small social gatherings are welcome, and tables and chairs may be provided. Gatherings exceeding 15 guests require prior approval and an additional fee.
What truly sets The Heart of Julian apart is the experience. Julian is a rare four-season destination where every visit feels different—from spring wildflowers and summer adventures to fall apple harvest celebrations and cozy winter escapes. We strive to help every guest experience the very best of Julian while enjoying the comforts of a professionally hosted home.
