What an adorable little spot and perfect to walk downtown. The hosts were also very responsive and able to answer any questions. If you are looking for a location close to downtown you can’t go wrong. So much nicer than a hotel and very clean.

We had a wonderful stay at the Hillbilly Hideaway. The place was modern and well appointed, it was also very clean. The bed was only queen size but it was extremely comfortable, and we slept well both nights we were there. There was an air conditioner and fans. My wife loved the shower and how nicely it was designed. The place is a very short walk to downtown and the Murphy Hotel. Our host was friendly and accommodating. We would stay here again if we came back to stay in Murphy’s. Thanks!

Wonderful Adventure in Murphys

My wife and I had a great time in Murphys and it was all possible by staying at Hillbillies Hideaway! We made use of the full kitchen for all of our meals. The location is great, as it’s a short walk into Main Street Murphys and we were able to visit the downtown while it was bustling on Saturday. We loved our stay and will definitely be back!

The property was decorated very nicely and very conveniently located. We were able to walk to everything in downtown. Although the kitchen was well supplied, I would suggest a set of mixing bowls for cooking. The television streaming/cable was ineffective and provided limited viewing. Overall though, very cute place!
