About Denise
Welcome to my little cottage! I have been an art teacher, a professional artist and a realtor in my past. This is my favorite time of life right now taking care of my little charming cottage in downtown Murphys. The cottage is spotless clean and welcoming! I love to garden and decorate and bake goodies for my guests. I enjoy decorating the cottage for every season and holiday. I live next to the cottage in my own little cottage which is always convenient in case you need anything. Your stay will be a pleasant one to remember!
Denise purchased this cottage in 2005
Why Denise chose Gold Country & High Sierra
This charming cottage is only 1 block from Main St! You will choose your own digital code to unlock the front door. Previous guest codes will be deleted upon their departure. You can feel safe that no one else will be entering the cottage during your stay!
What makes this cottage unique
To quote many of the guests that have stayed here, " I will never stay in a motel again while visiting Murphys! I love coming back to this charming comfortable cottage that is so close to everything downtown!" Step outside to smell the cinnamon rolls baking half a block away at the bakery on Main St. What a great way to start the day!
Guestbook comments from the owner
Denise,
Thank you SO very much for letting us use your wonderful and darling cottage. It was everything AND MORE what we expected. What a fabulous treat and pure relaxation away from the busy Bay Area. We truly enjoyed ourselves and loved coming "home" to your cottage. We WILL be back again soon. Thanks again.
All the best,
Sybil and Patrick

Great stay in Murphys
The house was great for 2 adults and 2 young kids (4 year old and 2.5 year old). Equipped with everything we needed, Denise the host even baked us Banana bread that was an awesome addition. Denis was perfect as host- very helpful with recommendations, welcoming and nice. Made us feel at home away from home.
Location is also perfect- 1 minute walk from the center of the town that is full with restaurants and shops.
Clean, Comfortable and Convenient!
My wife and I stayed here over a concert weekend and we're glad we did! Murphys Main Street was packed with concert goers so finding parking looked nearly impossible. But we had none of that! Located only a block from Main St, we had access to all the restaurants, tasting rooms and shopping. That alone was worth the stay. But the Cottage was wonderful as well, very clean, cozy, comfortable and surprisingly quiet. We definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for comfort and convenience.
Quaint and Comfortably Wonderful!
I have stayed at this lovely cottage just about every visit to Murphy's. It is absolutely lovely and Denise is quite accommodating and very sweet. She always has the 'special' touch and ensures your stay will be wonderful. I look forward to my next stay. Thank you Denise for everything!
Beautiful cottage in perfect location
We have stayed in this lovable cottage many times now and never get tired of it. It is darling, clean and there are always special touches that go along with the rental. Denise, the owner, is a real gem and bends over backwards to see that your stay is over the top. The proximity to the quaint town of Murphy's and the wonderful hikes up at Calaveras Big Trees State Park makes it the ideal spot! Thanks again Denise for a wonderful experience!!
Perfect, easy getaway!
Denise thought of everything we needed to make an easy weekend getaway! The location is perfect to be able to walk everywhere in Murphys!
Downtown Cottage
This is a great cottage in the downtown area, very short walk to main street. The cottage is very comfortable, clean, organized, and quiet. The exterior has a few nice sitting areas perfect for some afternoon relaxing. We can't wait to come back for another visit!
