Murphys Getaway - Enjoy Wineries, Hiking, Concerts, Shopping & Small Town Charm
My house is steps from the Indian Rock Vineyards tasting room and a 1.5 mile pleasant walk/drive to Main Street in Murphys where you’ll find unpretentious wine tasting, great restaurants from thin crust pizza to California nouvelle cuisine, Gold Rush history come to life, outstanding shopping for all budgets and great antiquing opportunities. A little further afield you can enjoy caves, ziplining, walking tours, kayaking, skiing, snow shoeing as well as many hiking trails including Calaveras Big Trees State Park with its famous and stately Redwood trees or…
Stay in your robe and slippers and relax on the back deck with a peaceful view of the woods. Enjoy local bird life visiting the many feeders. Kick back with a glass of wine, a good book or gather everyone together to watch a movie in the cozy den.
My home is fully equipped with modern conveniences to ensure your comfort and enjoyment including a kitchen outfitted for cooking, microwave, dishwasher, washer and dryer, TV with cable and free WIFI.
The master bedroom looks out on the beautiful deck and includes a king size bed and full private bath. The second bedroom also has a king size bed and desk for working remotely and is adjacent to a full hallway bathroom.
The kitchen, dining room and entertainment room are connected which makes for a great opportunity to visit over meals, have a movie night or enjoy board games.
To ensure you get settled in and have a great start to your stay with us, we will provide an initial supply of toilet paper, facial tissue, and paper towels, but these may not be enough for your entire stay and you may need to purchase additional supplies.
For security purposes, on August 1, 2022 we are installing a Ring doorbell at the front door and cameras above the garage doors that records those entering the home. There are no devices inside of the home.
If you have any questions about the property or the area, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I believe you will fall in love with Murphys just as I did on my first visit over 10 years ago.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Leen
I originally moved to San Francisco from Oklahoma in 1991. While I love living in the city, I often like to escape to Murphys to decompress and commune with nature. In 2010, I started an Intellectual Property legal consulting business which allows me to travel while I work, so I like to get up to Murphys as often as possible. I have traveled to every continent except for Antarctica, but I don't plan to let that exception stand for long.
Why they chose this property
I first fell in love with Murphys on a weekend trip with my best friend. We were exploring the Gold Country on Highway 49 and stumbled upon Murphys on our way up to hike through the redwoods grove in Calaveras Big Trees State Park. After that weekend, I came back many times to enjoy the wineries, restaurants, hikes and dreamed of buying a vacation home in this quaint historic town. In 2016 my dream came true, and I bought my own place to escape in the woods.
What makes this property unique
It is a picture perfect setting in Murphys nestled on a 1/2 acre with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and formal living room with a sky light and large picture window overlooking a beautiful large back deck and a family room with a fireplace. I love watching the birds, squirrels, and deer from my hammock on the back deck or from the warmth of the den with binoculars. The first weekend I moved in I saw a flying squirrel jump from tree to tree behind the house, and I was certain this was the best decision I had ever made.
