We had an amazing time. The cottage was perfect for a quiet weekend get away. It is very close to main street and the shops and restaurants, there are several other attractions that are close by as well, and the scenery is fantastic. Our host is AMAZING...such a wonderful woman. I enjoyed meeting her and taking time to talk to her. We already love Murphy's, but this experience at such a cozy and comfortable spot had us planning our next adventure out there. Thank you, Ms. Denise for your hospitality and kindness. It was a very fun weekend!

This was the perfect relaxing getaway at a quaint little cottage. The location was great. Easy walk to the shops in Murphys. Just be aware that the shop jours are limited and everything closes early, but that left more time to relax. The host Denise was great, friendly and easy to work with.

Delightful Cottage in excellent location

Charming well appointed cottage, really loved the delightful style and beautiful garden. Much enjoyed that there is a little outdoor seating area that was very enjoyable in the evenings while looking out at the super pretty garden. The location is just a block to main street so this provided a terrific location to soak up the Murphys ambience. I highly recommend this for a romantic couples get away!

Cute and cozy little cottage, so close to everything, yet feels like you're a world away once you're inside. Denise was a fabulous host: friendly, informative about the area, leaves you alone to relax unless you need her, in which case she's right there. We will definitely be back.

What makes this property 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!
