The Heard House - downtown Murphys

The Heard House, in the heart of downtown Murphys, is a sweet, single-level cottage completely rebuilt in 2008 with all the charm and character of a bygone era, thoughtfully updated with today's comforts and conveniences. Easy walking distance to everything downtown, including the Murphys Hotel, shops and restaurants, two dozen wine tasting rooms, community park and river. Located on a sunny and fenced 1/3 acre parcel in a residential neighborhood just one block off Main Street, the cottage is nicely set back and hidden from the street so you have all the privacy you crave, without the traffic and noise issues of downtown. The open and airy living room has vaulted ceilings and a toasty gas fireplace. The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking and entertaining, with coffee beans, half and half, teas and spices, a vintage gas stove, microwave, coffee maker, coffee grinder, blender, and breakfast bar seating. Five star amenities like chocolates by the bedside, fresh flowers, snacks and free WIFI have it stand out from the rest. The bedroom has a queen-sized bed, with down comforter and duvet cover. The bathroom has vaulted ceilings, a clawfoot tub/shower combo, hair dryer, and hotel toiletries. Split unit Heating and AC, ceiling fans in the living room and bedroom, and a gas fireplace for your comfort. Private deck with bench seating and an umbrella-shaded table is the perfect spot for relaxing with your morning coffee, plus a gas BBQ, outdoor shower and a horseshoe pit you’re welcome to use. Relax and enjoy watching the squirrels, birds, turkeys and occasional deer that frequent a large, open area behind our property, or grab a night time beverage and take in the starry sky. If you're looking for somewhere special to relax and unwind, the Heard House is a perfect place to call home

Cute cottage one block from downtown
The cottage is far back in the backyard of the main house. You don't even realize there is another home on the property except that you need to walk past it on the way in. Bed was comfy and the patio was nice. The kitchen had everything we needed. There is some poison oak sprouting up here and there in the yard/hedges so make sure to stay clear of it especially if you bring a dog. It took about 5 minutes to walk to the main street. The drive to the grocery was also about 5 minutes. We enjoyed driving up the hill to the wineries.

Weekend away with my daughter
My daughter and I loved our brief weekend stay here. We were meeting friends for a birthday weekend so spent unfortunately not enough time at this beautiful property. I wish we had more time so plan to book a return without social obligations to enjoy this wonderful little space with my daughter .

Heard house
The cabin was very clean and had all sorts of amenities. The bed was comfortable. Wish they had darker curtains since the porch lights stayed on. We were not a fan of having to park on the street. Was worried someone would sideswipe our vehicle. Glad it wasn't raining since the passenger couldn't just climb back in to the car. It was quiet and peaceful. Beautiful place overall.

Fabulous!
This was an amazing location to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Total privacy. 200 yards to Main Street. Quiet. Idyllic. Treetop haven. Fresh flowers and well-decorated. This retreat lives up to its reputation with aplomb. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
