Dear Guests,
The HEART of Julian - This charming and cozy two story home has over 2,000 sq ft of space for your groups leisurely enjoyment. Our home is located two blocks from downtown Julian. This tranquil location is great for a staycation, as a work-from-home alternative, or for families who want to go on hikes and enjoy nature. Our guest(s) can walk to MOM's or Julian Pie Company and along the way stop off at one of the winery's for a little taste of your favorite wine. Restaurants, shops, spa, gym and museum are all located on the main street. The famous Gold Mine whose tunnel goes through the entire mountain is a couple of blocks up the same road as our home. Lake Cuyamaca is 6 miles of travel by car South on Highway 79 which boasts a little restaurant, fishing, and boating. Hiking trails in the summer, and cross country skiing in the winter. Five miles to the West on the 79 is the historic town of Wynola; where there is live music, restaurants and apple picking, two more miles West on the 79 you will be in Santa Ysabella which has the famous Dudley's Bakery with a wide variety of delicious bread and OMG Sandwiches!

***COVID MANAGEMENT***
We at the Heart of Julian are dead set in winning the fight against COVID-19! For your safety we now require our Housekeeping staff to wear facial masks and gloves as a new standard in performing their housekeeping duties. This will ensure proper containment is in place before and after our Guest(s) stay. We are proactive and ensuring that a clear strategy is in place, alongside utilizing the support measures provided by the Government, will enable Julian’s hospitality industry to transition back to normality as smoothly as possible.
Measures To Increase Sanitization (Mandatory):
Per the CDC disinfecting wipes with a high alcohol or bleach content are effective against COVID-19. We are using these products to disinfect countertops, all appliances, and bathrooms. Which includes but not limited to; tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, toilets, faucets, sinks, and electronics.
Per the CDC laundry of linen will be the same due to the soap and warmth of water in washing. We are clean and disinfecting clothes hampers according to guidance above for surfaces. We ask our guest If possible, to consider placing dirty towels in a tall kitchen bag. These bags are located underneath the kitchen sink.
Because of these extra measures housekeeping requires additional time for the new process. Immediate changes are: Check out time has been modified to 10:00 am vs. 12:00 pm and we had to increase our cleaning rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
If you feel that you are ill or have symptoms of COVID-19 prior to check-in please contact us immediately to re-schedule or cancel your reservation if necessary.
Be Safe, Stay Aware and Consider Others,
Curlypri ;-)
