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 at the rear of the property 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, skylight, 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. Fully fenced yard, and at times it will be shared with our dog. If you're looking for somewhere special to relax and unwind, the Heard House is a perfect place to call home

This was a great place! Plenty of windows and natural light. Decorations were really well done and it felt very homey. Lights and outlets everywhere, well done! Loved the outdoor shower too. The fixtures and tub/shower are antique style, looks great but a little difficult to use. Overall a wonderful property!Thanks!

This little place was perfect for my husband and I as it was our virgin voyage in bringing our little peanut dogs on a sleep away. The property is completely fenced which was such a relief and our dogs just loved the size-so huge! They provided us with coffee and cream, which was a boon as well as an entire bowl of snacks which really came in handy. The bed was comfy and the shower was nice and hot. Thank you for hosting us!

The place was quiet, clean and in a perfect spot to walking anywhere. The only thing I have to say to improve your future is to let renters know it is not handicap friendly. The shower was scary.

It was a delightful way to end the year, to disconnect, in a serene and quiet environment. Murphy's is sweet and quaint; we loved our visit to the Giant Sequoias and to Columbia State Park; the movie theater at Angel's Camp.... and to of course come back to cook and relax in our lovely cottage.

The yard was great for my pup! The kitchen was well stocked.The only concern I had was that this town has very few street lights on the residential streets. You have to rely on the ambient lighting from the homes. And much to my surprise a lot of them did not have any. This of course has nothing to do with The Heard House, this property was well lit.

The place was very clean, but a little too rustic for us. We had a big ant invasion at the end of our stay, not due to leaving any food out. They may have been looking for water.

Cozy Cottage

We loved our stay, the place is very comforable and quiet. A very short walk to town and a short drive to many places. There is a farmers market every Sunday in the park, we thought we were on the set of a Hallmark movie.
