It's official! Bachelor fans can look forward to their favorite mansion returning to the franchise for The Golden Bachelorette.

Host Jesse Palmer seemingly confirmed that the new Golden Bachelor spin-off series is being filmed at the iconic Bachelor Mansion again after the property was not featured on Jenn Tran's season of The Bachelorette.

"It’s been a busy summer…🌹," Palmer wrote alongside a photo of him posing with The Golden Bachelorette's leading lady Joan Vassos on Instagram. In the July 9 post, the familiar villa can be seen in the background, with Palmer tagging "Bachelor Mansion" in the location.

Before Tran's season, which premiered on July 8, both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette had famously been filmed at Villa de la Vina, also known as “The Mansion.”

Tran broke barriers on The Bachelorette in more ways than one. In addition to being the first Asian American bachelorette, she’s also opened the doors to the Hummingbird Nest Ranch for the first time in the franchise.

Night one was filmed at the Santa Susana, Calif. property instead of the famous Bachelor Mansion, followed by Tran and her suitors traveling to locations around the globe including Australia and New Zealand.

Tran opened up about the major location change while speaking to Entertainment Tonights Denny Directo in March. 

“How does it feel knowing you get to start the season off somewhere brand new?” Directo asked as the pair stood in front of the Hummingbird Nest Ranch. 

Tran responded, “This is gorgeous, and I think what I’ve been trying to tell myself, you know, first Asian bachelorette, first PA student — we’re really breaking the mold this season. I feel like a new mansion is the perfect way to break the mold.”

“The other mansion needed sage,” Directo said, to which Tran agreed, “Yes,” before motioning to the house behind her. “I’m going to bless it with some really good vibes.” 

Tran was a contestant on season 28 of The Bachelor but was eliminated in week 7. It was announced that she would be the spin-off series’ new leading lady during the March 25 season finale.

"I feel so, so grateful and so honored to be the first Asian bachelorette in this franchise," she said during the episode, noting that she never saw Asian representation growing up and she always felt “boxed in.”

She added, "And now to be here today saying in this position being like, I am going to lead my own love story, I am going to be the main character in my story — like I just can't help but think of how many people I'm inspiring."

Ahead of the July 8 episode, Tran told PEOPLE that she was "so excited" to watch the premiere. "I feel like it's so weird that this crazy journey happened, and I am just so excited to be able to watch it back,” she added.
