About this property

Sophisticated Gold Country Cottage

Located 1 mile from downtown Murphys on 6.5 acres. Private but not remote. New construction, this charming little cottage is fresh and unique. Warm, colorful and friendly with a nice combination of new and antique furnishings. Comfort is our primary focus, king sized bed, all cotton linens, sparkly bathroom, large deck with view, beautiful tile and granite kitchen and cozy living room. There’s also a queen sized aero bed that can be rolled out on the deck if you choose to sleep under the stars. Walking distance to Indian Rock Vineyards and tasting room.The evenings are filled with the sounds of frogs and crickets, turn off the lights for great star gazing. Deer, turkey, quail and rabbits are frequent visitors.
Perfect base for your visit to Murphys and all that Calaveras County has to offer.

The house location and setup is fantastic, giving you the privacy and quietness that I was seeking but yet close enough to downtown Murphys to enjoy the towns food and wine scene. Beautiful house all around and wonderful deck and vista!Note - had troubles with the wi-fi connection not matching house password nor that provided later by owner. If planning to do some important work you may want to check in advance about the correct wi-fi password...

We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the cabin. It is equipped with an ample supply of anything you need (I know to pack less next time) Star gazing was amazing. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Cozy Cottage

Quiet and secluded with wonderful accommodations. Beautifully decorated inside and a super comfy bed also. Because the cottage sits up on a hill, the views from the deck and surrounding acreage are really lovely. Very peaceful place.

Lovely little cottage. It was perfect for our wine tasting weekend. Close to town but quiet and remote! Watching the meteor shower on the deck was a highlight!

Perfect weekend get-away for two!

Claire's excellent taste and attention to detail made it a joy to spend the weekend at her country cottage. It is so relaxing and peaceful here! We particularly enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the birds and squirrels in the trees all around us. We'll be back!

Excellent Rental Property

We thoroughly enjoyed our month stay in this gorgeous rental. All amenities were as described in the listing and then some. The owners are incredibly responsive. The place was clean and the views are fantastic. Wildlife, sunsets, bbq on the deck, super patio, great walks in the nearby neighborhood. We would definitely recommend this rental.

Beautiful cottage in Murphys

Loved this sweet cottage! Everything we needed was there, and it is so comfortable and beautifully decorated. Located about 1.5 miles outside of town and set on its own with lovely sweeping views meant a real sense of privacy and so quiet and peaceful! Renee was super responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back as this is a perfect base for walking in Big Trees State Park (fall colors were amazing) and cycling, plus enjoying the sweet town and amenities of Murphys.

The "Hummingbird" Cottage

We had a wonderful two-day stay at this property. It was perfectly appointed with everything we needed. We enjoyed cooking and dining on the deck in the evening and sipping our coffee there in the morning. The seclusion of the property allows for a peaceful stay. We were constantly watching the numerous birds around us - especially the humming birds! We only wished we had booked another night because it was hard to leave.

Serene Treetop Cottage

This little cottage is the perfect place to escape from the hubbub and stress of everyday life. You feel like you're amongst the treetops in the middle of a forest, yet you're a mile or two from charming Murphys and many wineries in the area. This location is also the perfect jumping off place for exploring the Sierras or Gold Country towns. And if you like hummingbirds, trees, or beautiful art, you are in luck, as this location has them all. I would stay here again without hesitation.
