Great stay as advertised. Location is located within walking of shops and restaurants to downtown Murphys. Lovely and central location. Fantastic hot tub and room for a larger family or multiple friend visit. Door is a little tricky to ensure closure when you leave, but other than that, we had a great time.
The home was clean, spacious, updated in areas and authentic in others. We really enjoyed the outdoor space. The yard is well kept and the hot tub was very relaxing after walking around town all day! The location was perfect for us to enjoy downtown Murphys! We had a great weekend and hope to make it back next year!!!
We had a wonderful time!!. The host was very responsive to questions and even recommended a local spot to eat. We will be returning soon. I highly recommend this host.
Location was excellent - easy walk to town and grocery store. House is great for friends and/or familes - spacious (inside and yard/deck, and plenty of parking. Hot tub was nice amenity.
Me and my friends have been back to this property three times now and it’s always been an easy and enjoyable stay. Clean, spacious house, well kept outdoor spaces, easy check in and check out. Always worth the visit!
The property was so comfortable and located very close to town. The porch was really nice to come together after a long day and morning breakfast. We will be staying there again.
Beautifully decorated, a stones throw from downtown, excellent host communication, hot-tub! What’s not to love? We really had such a great stay. Thanks for everything!
So close for walking into town , for wine tasting, beer pours, restaurants and little shopping - guys went golfing and the girl's enjoyed hanging out! Thank you
The house is a mix of old and midcentury modern which makes it interesting, It is clean and comfortable and the hot tub is a lovely addition. Main street is within walking distance so no need for your car.

The property is a block from downtown which is what we wanted. You can see all the stars at night relaxing on the backyard porch, House was clean and relaxing. Will like to go back to this home again.
My childhood friends and I had the perfect weekend away in Murphy's. We loved wine tasting and shopping in town and coming back to enjoy the house & hot tub. The house is perfect and the location can't be beat. We are already talking about the next trip!
Spent a wonderful 3 nights here for the Thanksgiving weekend. Great place, walking distance to Main Street. Loved that it was dog friendly! Had everything we needed for a family get away.
As others have said, the Cappelli house is quiet, clean, comfortable, and close to everything in Murphys. The beds are very comfortable. We hope to stay there again.

Marco and I met in Napa in the wine industry in the late 90's. We moved to the Sierras a few years ago and Marco started making wine for Indian Rock in Murphys. We instantly fell in love with this charming town.
Why they chose this property
Marco and I love the history of the Gold Country, enjoy the great wines being produced here and the closeness of a small town community. The surrounding mountains invite hiking, skiing and exploring!
What makes this property unique
We enjoy walking and especially appreciate being able to stroll into town for great food and wine!
