This place was top notch. The home was absolutely stunning, the detail to the woodwork and the construction was first class just like the service and the hospitality from both Mary, the owner, and her husband Ray. They made both my husband and I like family from the time we walked in the door till the time we walked out. Thank you for an amazing experience.

The most amazing experience! We happened upon "HeartWood Place" via the enternet after realizing the hotel we had booked had serious issues. So we ventured back to cyberspace and found this most beautiful B&B with the most peaceful & serene spirit. Sadly we were only able to stay the night. However, to our delight we did get to enjoy Mary Alice's delightful breakfast and the company of another couple celebrating another year of life and we met Ray. I assure we will return. We stayed in the "Serenity" room....and will look forward to future stays in rooms either of Peace or Tranquility as well as

A golden nugget tucked away in a beautiful setting. Owners greeted us at the door with a smile and helped with our bags. Gave recommendations on where to get a great dinner and right on the mark for sure. Our group was just amazed at the beauty. We felt comfortable. We enjoyed and laughed for hours. We were awakened the next morning by a smell of coffee and a breakkfast fit for a Queen and King. Thank you for making our visit so special.

My husband and I were in the area for my brothers memorial and stayed at Heart Wood for a few days. Ray and Mary Alice treated us like family but also gave us space as needed. We went to church with them and we went wine tasting with MA and toured all around the area. On Saturday there was a wedding at the Inn and some of the wedding party stayed there too which was good for entertainment value. Beautiful surroundings of farmed fields and woods. The BnB itself is three stories with a big front porch to sit out on and a back wooden deck. A huge barn sits alongside where you can have parties

Of the 6 nights my girlfriend and I spent in Bed and Breakfasts and Airbnbs on our latest bicycle trip, this was my favorite by FAR. By how much? FAR. The Heart Wood Place is hidden off the main road a few hundred feet into the woods, which means when you have your coffee on the big back porch in the morning, you will be surrounded by nature. Additionally, Mary Alice was inviting and social, but never intrusive so we felt welcome and comfortable for our entire stay. This was a wonderful experience that, if I'm ever in Adrian MI again, I would like to revisit.
