About this property

The Sunset Suite st the Mansion by the Square

About this space:

The Gage/Murphy Mansion is a crown jewel from the early days of Prescott and located just 2 blocks away from Courthouse Square and Whiskey Row. Originally constructed in 1895 as the family home of business tycoon E.B. Gage, and later railroad tycoon Frank M. Murphy, this restored monument of local history has been just steps away from the heart of Prescott for over 125 years.


The space:

The entire home is 7274 sq ft with a total of 10 units spread out amongst 3 floors and a basement, each unique to one another in size, layout, and design – come back and stay at them all for a different experience each time! You will not find another gem like this in all of Prescott.

Unit 4 - “The Sunset Suite” is upstairs on the 2nd level and is approx. 660 sq ft with 1 bed/1 bath. The space has 1 large bedroom with a king size bed and 32” TV, a living room with a 49” TV, a bathroom with a stand-up shower in a large cast iron tub, and a full kitchen for your use and enjoyment. The kitchen is enclosed in a sunroom style room where you can take in the amazing views of the Prescott sunsets as well as Granite Mountain. The Sunset Suite has a Victorian romantic charm that makes it the perfect getaway to reconnect and relax.


Guest access:

The building itself has two main entrances. One is through the front door of the home which can be accessed from the front porch on the north side of the house that faces Gurley St. The other is located through the Mansion’s side door on the West side of the building, which you can see from S Alarcon St. The side door is closer to the parking, but the main entrance is a bit more “grand” – feel free to use either.

Unit 4’s entrance is best accessed through the Mansion’s main door. Enter the building through there, walk up the stairs to the 2nd level, and the door to “The Sunset Suite” will be to your left.


Other things to note:

Please respect and take care of the home during your stay. Much of it is original and cannot be replaced.

As much of it is original please expect some creaking floors and other noises and sights that come with a home that’s well over 100 years old. We think it adds to the appeal! But not everyone may think the same way so, just a heads up 😊.

Parking is first come first serve and is limited to 1 vehicle per unit. There is an upper level parking lot accessed via the private road immediately to the south of the building, and a smaller lower level parking lot on the same level as the building. Street parking is also available.

The location is amazing - just 2 short blocks from the square! However, like any other hotels or stays that are near a city center there may be some noise (mostly passing traffic) to deal with. The south side and lower floor rooms (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 2B) are quieter. And the ones closest to Gurley St (4, 7, 1B) are slightly noisier. Some guests notice it, others don’t, but we thought it deserved at least a mention to consider when booking.

All rooms have at least 1 portable A/C unit for those summer months when it can get a little warm. The larger units have 2 in them. There are fans in each room as well. For the winter months there is a boiler system that generates heat for the house and all rooms.

All TV’s are subscribed to Hulu Live TV which includes 75+ channels and all Hulu content. Other streaming apps are installed but depending on the service you may need to login to them using your own account info to access content. Please log out of them before leaving to prevent the use of your account by others.

All guests have access to the common areas of the home as well as the outside common areas. While you are free to explore the inside of the Mansion please be considerate of other guests that may be staying and do your best not to disturb them, including keeping noise down to a reasonable level.

There is a shared laundry room on the south side of the building. Laundry supplies are not provided but there are 2 washers and 2 dryers available for use if you provide your own.

A commercial water softener is connected to the house. Its still not advisable to drink directly from the faucet but the showers and linens should feel nice! Enjoy!

Please read the Guest book in the unit for more details on the Mansion, it’s unique history, important house rules, and other useful info.

We want you to have the most comfortable and enjoyable stay possible, so if there’s anything we can do to make your stay better please just let us know!

HAVE A GREAT STAY WE ARE THRILLED TO HAVE YOU!!

Love this place!
Everything was great. The bed was super comfortable. Proximity to downtown is nice but can be noisy with traffic at night. Earplugs solved the noise issue, so no problem there! We will be back next time we come to this area!

Loved our stay !
We had a wonderful time in Prescott and the Sunset Suite at the Mansion was fantastic. Great location as it's right downtown and so easy to walk from the Mansion. Highly recommend this suite. It is on the corner of the house, very spacious, and has a nice view down Gurly St. Would absolutely stay here again. Looks like the property is for sale and I hope the new owners keep it as an vaction rental!

Too hot
The Mansion is wonderful & our suite was spacious. Unfortunately it was in the 90’s and only window stand alone air & it was just too hot to be in the kitchen even with the air in that room. The bedroom was better as they had blackout curtains & another stand alone So for a summer stay we were just not comfortable.

Adorable!
We stayed in the Sunset Suite, on the top floor of the Mansion. Bright and airy suite in a beautifully restored old home. The location is perfect as it’s only a few min walk to the Courthouse and Wiskey Row. Great stay! We’ll be back.

Bring your own toilet paper
Very nice stay, but I wish we knew we would need to bring our own toilet paper. There was a very small amount on the roll on the holder when we arrived and no extras. We needed to go out to the store that night to get more when we were hoping to just stay and hang out and walk around downtown. Please mention in your description to bring your own if you are not going to provide it. Otherwise, very nice stay. Room was pleasantly cool even in the midst of a heat wave despite no central air, so that was very nice when we were expecting to be on the warm side. The portable air conditioners kept it very pleasant. One other suggestion is to use those straps under the mattress to hold the sheets on the bed. The fitted sheet continually came off of the bed through the night and bunched up under us.

Beautiful Getaway Spot
What a beautiful property and it was so comfortable for us! My friend and I went up for a girls getaway weekend and we could not have been happier with the sunset suite. So close to downtown and such a beautiful room. Property felt so safe, was nice and quiet, and such thoughtful amenities were provided. Easy breezy check-in and check-out made it zero stress and total bliss. We are already planning our next stay. Easily our favorite place to stay in Prescott and we come at least a couple times per year!
