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.

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.

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!!

Fern Creek Getaway

It's a smaller home, perfect for a couple. Parking in front or back so so would come across the creek. The house is still plenty big and the outside is beautiful. They have a BBQ and patio, and a couple more chairs by the gas Fire pit near the Creek with a bridge and lights for at night. There is also a beautiful Metal gate with Rockwork around it and wonderful setting! This is our 2nd time staying here and we plan on going back next year also.

A much needed getway

I booked this place for our anniversary. I wanted something peaceful, quaint but still close to downtown Murphys. The pictures are exactly how it is. Although, the pictures could be better. This little cottage was perfect! We chose to park by the rock wall and walk over the bridge to get to the front door. You feel like you are in your own paradise. We (my husband) cooked breakfast and dinner on the bbq. I know there were great restaurants recommended but we wanted to enjoy the property. We had our coffee by the creek every morning. There is coffee, tea and popcorn provided. The bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed. The property is right off of hwy 4 so during the day it is loud from traffic but you don't hear it from the house. It is less than a mile walk into downtown Murphys from the cottage. We will definitely stay here when in murphys!! Thank you
