If you want to come to Murphys this is the place to stay. It is close walking distance to the town. We had a wedding to attend and we walked to it and home. This is not a party place, and nor should it be. Perfect for a couple's getaway. Lots of wineries and shops.
The amenities were great and the price reasonable. We will stay here again.

Needed to get out of town to relax, and this was just perfect. Took my book and my puppy and spent hours in the beautiful shady lawn reading. Town was literally a street away and it was so fun to walk up and down the main drag of Murphys each day for coffee, shopping, and wine tasting. Can’t say enough nice things it was such a lovely visit and a lovely perfect house.

Beautiful Cozy place. The only negative thing was the Wi-Fi code didn’t work. I already referred 3 of our Fair Oaks neighbors to you.

Loved the cottage and the grounds. Clean , charming and overall relaxing. One suggestion, the bed frame or box spring makes a squeaking noise whenever you turn, which i do a lot at night. But the actual bed is very

Beautiful, quiet location hidden in historic Murphys. Plenty of great local attractions to enjoy. My only regret was not staying for an entire week. Simply wonderful!

Adorable cottage with a great location. Although it was at the back of a residential property, the distance to the main house was far enough that we felt we had complete privacy. Perfect size for a couple’s getaway. A block from all the fun in Murphys (aka wine tasting).
We did have trouble getting the Wi-Fi to work. Owner tried to fix it in a timely manner, but we were never able to connect.

This cottage was just so cute and clean. The privacy and lot were perfect for relaxing.
Everything from restaurants to wine tasting is walking distance or crawling distance if you over indulge (LOL).
Our weekend getaway was perfect and we absolutely enjoyed our stay in this cottage.
Great for dogs, our little guy seemed to enjoy himself.
Thanks to the owners for sharing this magical place.

This was an amazing location to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Total privacy. 200 yards to Main Street. Quiet. Idyllic. Treetop haven. Fresh flowers and well-decorated. This retreat lives up to its reputation with aplomb. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

My husband and I absolutely loved this place. It's a cute little cottage with lots of privacy. It's located a block off main street, so we were able to walk downtown and enjoy great food and wine - and then stumble back! You do have to walk several hundred feet from the street to the cottage, so unloading a vehicle could be challenging for those with mobility limitations. My husband and I didn't mind because we need the exercise. We were allowed to bring our dog and he had just as much fun as we did. Most of Murphys is dog friendly, so it worked out great. All in all a great little vacation. We would highly recommend this place and plan on returning someday!

Wonderful location just a block off the main action. Wonderful deck. Only funky thing was parking. A bit tight on the side of the road. But even at that was so nice to just leave the car parked and walk to everything.

Wonderful owner, amazing property, clean, comfortable and the only negative thing I have to say is WE DIDNT WANT TO GO ❤️ It’s hard to give great reviews because we don’t want the world to know how cool this place was! But we won’t be selfish, book this spot, you won’t be disappointed….

35yr Anniversary Stay
Great location and quiet neighborhood. Its a little trek up to the house and a few stairs, i was glad i brought a wagon to carry our things which wouldn't be an issue for a young couple. Only thing i would have changed was the lighting in the bathroom, not enough at night.
