We loved this place! My husband I like to stay in places that are quiet, clean and walkable to town. The Heard House did not disappoint. We were greeted by Darrell and Moby upon arrival and felt welcome straight away. The kitchen was clean and well-stocked. A nice touch was having coffee, sweeteners, and half and half already available, plus a few snacks—not a common touch in our experience! We were 1 block off the main drag with tons of wine tasting and restaurants, and even live music. We loved Grounds for breakfast. The town is pretty quiet during the week and revs up over the weekend. We also loved how central the location was to places like Mercer Caverns, Calaveras Big Trees, and Jamestown. Overall, a great place to stay… just what we needed to getaway from our normally hectic lives.
