This was a fantastic place to stay. It is very clean, well stocked and so peaceful. We were there during the fire and the contact woman was extremely helpful providing information on evacuation, and assured us she will call if anything changes. Will definitely stay there again

Murphys Cottage

We used the town of Murphys to visit the Big Trees State Park for several days. A great location to visit this area of California. The cottage was wonderful, and the town had several good restaurants and shops.

Great little house on a beautiful creek setting. Convient location with short walk to town. Clean and cozy. Was very hot (100 plus) in the area that weekend. Could use a better fan in the evening . Air conditioning worked well. Definitely would return again for another great weekend.

Fern Creek Cottage

Nice little place by Murphy Creek. Clean & tidy. Only priblem with our stay was the overflowing a/c bucket upon arrival. It created quite a mess but got it cleaned up fine. Loved the sound of the creek.

The property was clean and very nice loved the creek and outdoor space. We also loved Murphy... what and amazing little town with great food and wine. Decided however that this location is not really walkable from the house as there is an extremely busy road between the two.

The cottage is just adorable and the sound of the water running by is so relaxing with a glass of wine in hand. The place was very clean and just right for 2 people. If there is a negative at all, it's just that you have to cross a busy road if you want to walk into downtown Murphy's. We drove most of the time anyway. Highly recommend!

Lovely getaway!

This cottage was the perfect getaway. Close to downtown Murphy but seemed like a world away. The sound of the creek was soothing to hear. The outside fire pit was a very nice touch. We will be back!!

4th of July getaway

Everything was very good. Only issue is the bed was not comfortable. To soft sank in the middle and was hard to climb in out of. Other than that everything was great! Woul definitely stay there again.

Hi Elizabeth, We are glad to hear that overall you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the 5-star rating! Beds are tricky as everyone has different taste. We had feedback that the bed was too hard, so we purchased a 3" mattress topper from Costco. If you stay again, the topper can be taken off so that the bed is firmer and more to your liking.
