It was a charming little cottage with a garden full of bloom and just a short walk to downtown. The river that runs through the little park right next to the park is a sweet local hangout-all very charming.

Overnight stay

This place was perfect for our 1 night stay in Murphys. Convenient walk to town, and we loved that they are pet friendly and dont require a two or three night minimum. Very cute little house with comfortable bed.

Response from VrboOwner on Dec 5, 2025
We are glad that you liked the location and hoped you enjoyed your overall stay. I am sorry to see that the totally fenced dog yard along the side of the house was apparently missed. The house is along one side and a 6 foot fence along the other 3 sides. It is about 10 feet wide and 30 feet long. There is a wooden dog bone sign in the back garden that points to where it is and that gate is also labeled. The landscaped garden around the house is not fenced.

If i could give 6 stars I would!! The property manager accommodated us last minute when our travel plans changed and waived a ton of fees. Very grateful to have stayed with them; the place was cozy and had everything we could need

The little yellow cottage was perfect for a one night girls getaway. The backyard was so lovely with adirondack chairs for early morning coffee. We also used it as a backdrop for fun birthday photos. The location made it easy to walk into town for wine tasting, dinner and morning bakery run. We only wish we could have stayed two nights! Communications was great and the cottage was as described.
