Gorgeous Getaway

Adam and Arlene have a beautiful guest home with woodsy views. The home is even more gorgeous than pictured and fully stocked with everything you could need. Property is great for relaxing, enjoying movies, and a nice location on the way to bear valley. We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen and beautiful bathrooms. The deck has a fire pit with great views as well. Adam and Arlene were very attentive and helpful, yet respectful of our privacy. We loved the stay and hope to visit again!

Quiet yet close

The house is perfect for a quiet getaway. It is tucked back away from the hustle and bustle and has a great view! We were close enough to all of the attractions so that exploring the area was easy. Arlene and Adam were great hosts! Nice personal touches and coffee, bottled water, and snacks available as well. The house is comfortably furnished with a warm homey feeling. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay : - )

Toasty Stay in Murphy's

We picked the hottest days of the year to visit, just lucky I guess. The house is beautiful and very well appointed. Owners are close by and very available when we had questions. Beautiful view. The kitchen is better appointed than my one at home. Thanks for a comfortable stay.

Perfection!!

All it took was stepping through the front door of this amazing home to know that we were in a very special place! Gorgeous, secluded views of the oak-studded hills, a beautiful upscale interior that met our every need and more, thoughtful hosts who were available to help but respected our privacy, all provided us a perfect 4 day stay in the Murphys area. Our favorite highlights were the stunning deck with the gas fire pit, the perfectly appointed kitchen including snacks, coffee & a lovely welcome note, and the spa-worthy bathrooms. Thank you Alan and Arlene for such a wonderful stay…we can’t wait to return!! Marcia and Sandy🍁🍂

Cozy, clean, wonderful, fabulous house in the mountains!

This is a 6 star VRBO! The house is wonderful, it is brand new and has everything you want for a cozy place in the mountains. We spent a few days here, you are in a quiet area, remote but close to Murphys and Arnold and get the best of both worlds. The hosts are great and we’d definitely stay here again!!

Everything You Need in a Secluded Setting

Located in the far reaches of the Forest Meadows area you find a super clean house with a large deck area overlooking the hills filled with oaks and pines. I loved the outdoor deck with a propane BBQ and Blackstone griddle. Cooked multiple meals including bacon/eggs/potatoes and perfectly seared ribeye steaks on the griddle. The house has everything you need and more for a comfortable stay including a fully appointed kitchen with top quality pots, pans, bowls, cooking utensils, large refrigerator, gas stove and everything else. My wife loved the plethora of quality towels, bath products, comfy bed and linens, and how clean everything was on arrival. The owners are local and super friendly and helpful. Close enough to Murphys, wine tasting, and Calaveras Big Trees but far enough away to give you the solitude of a wonderful vacation.

Terrific House - Great for People with Mobility Issues

We LOVED staying at Arlene and Adam's house - so comfortable, perfect amount of room for 2 couples. Arlene's kitchen is the most well appointed kitchen and was perfect for our group. Bonus points for no stairs and walk in showers made it a great fit for my friend who uses a cane. THANKS VERY MUCH for the stay, we really enjoyed it.

Amazing view and home

My husband and I came down for a Mother’s Day weekend with our 3 kids and had a great time. You get a breath taking view, beautiful house that is supplied with so much and the owners are very quick to respond if you need anything. Arlene and her husband also left a cake for us for the special occasion, which we truly appreciated and enjoyed. We will definitely book here in the future. Great for a couple or family. Highly recommend.

Remote mountain home, that’s very accesible

Very easy checkin and communication with the owners prior to our visit and during the stay. Both owners were responsive and helpful. The home is very clean and modern, fully stocked kitchen modern appliances. Nice bathrooms. The deck has an incredible view, very good place to hangout and relax. It feels secluded, but short drives to to Murphys other towns in the area. The recent storms affected internet service and the owners were proactive in solving it.

Best VRBO house I've ever stayed at

Apparently, this custom home was built just a few years ago. Located on a hill in a secluded gated community, the quality of building materials and home furnishings is really impressive. It's equipped with literally everything you need. The showers are excellent and there's individual AC controls in every room. The spacious back deck provides unobstructed views across the forest to rolling hills on the horizon. It's a 15-minute drive down to Murphys. Oh, and the hosts/owners are cool people who live further up the hill. I'd definitely stay there again.

Perfect place!

We wanted to get away for a fews days for my Birthday and found this jem. Arlene was an amazing host. She communicated everything so clearly and was always quick to respond. We came during a heat wave so she made sure to turn on the AC 30mins before we arrived and we are all grateful for that lol. The home is perfect for two couples. The kitchen, dinningroom and livingroom is open and great for hanging out together. Head out to the clean deck in the evenings, BBQ and watch the sunset. We had a great time and hope to come back in the future!

Home away from home

This truly is a home away from home. Bring your personal belongings and you will want for nothing else. Everything you need is already there for you. We spent Christmas 2024 here and we cooked, baked, bbq, skied, laughed, sat by the fire and made memories. The cabin is immaculate and everything from the moment we confirmed our booking until we left was seamless. Owners were wonderful and great with communication. There is acres and views for days so while the owners are on property they are extremely respectful. And honestly it was comforting to know they weren’t too far in case we needed anything which we didn’t. We are looking at the calendar now to see when we can go back. This is truly a very special property.

Perfect family trip

I stayed here with my 5yro twins and husband. The house was perfect, it had everything we needed and more. We went to Murphys to take our boys to the snow but since the first day was rainy, we spent it indoors. We played board games, worked on puzzles, took baths (in a bathtub with the view of the forest) and cooked dinner. The kitchen is fully stocked and has everything you need. The next day we went to Bear Valley, which is only about a 40 minute drive. The location of this home is so convenient, it's close to Murphys downtown and Arnold so it's perfect if you want to go out to dinner and participate in snow activities. I highly recommend this house and can't wait to return! Thank you Arlene and Adam!

Ideal Property in the Sierra Foothills

The actual property is even better than the VRBO pictures! Let's be honest, most VRBO pictures are better than actual property. However, that is not the case with Arlene and Adam's specifically created vacation rental. It is very well designed with attention to detail and well thought out extras that will surprise you. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need from new high quality cookware, knives, and tools to all of the items needed for baking and roasting. We usually travel to other VRBO locations with our own base kitchen tools (frying pan, knives, tongs, etc.), because most of the time the cookware is questionable and the knives are dull. Not at this location! Besides being well designed, Arlene and Adam have thought through what one might have forgotten to pack (toothbrush, shaving kit, hats, flashlights, etc.), which just adds to your experience. As for the hosts, Adam and Arlene are very responsive, accommodating, and will help make your stay very enjoyable!
