✨ MURPHY'S PLACE • COZY CREEKSIDE OZARKS STAY FOR TWO
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌟 Cradled in a quiet valley where the Ozark hills meet the soft murmur of a spring-fed creek, Murphy's Place offers a private sanctuary for two. Surrounded by whispering trees 🌳 and water's gentle rhythm 💧, it's a retreat made for slowing down, soaking in the stillness, and rediscovering what matters most.

Perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, or quiet weekends away, this cottage features a plush queen bed 🛏️, a cozy reading nook 📖, and tranquil creekside views just steps from your door. Sip tea by the window, wander the brick pathways under string lights ✨, or share quiet moments beside the brook. Every detail is designed to invite intimacy, serenity, and connection.

While this retreat feels worlds away, Branson's live shows 🎭, shopping 🛍️, dining, and lake adventures 🚤 are just a scenic 30-minute drive through the Ozarks. Even closer, you'll find charming local favorites like The Hop 🍔, Las Casitas 🌮, and Red White & BBQ 🍖 — making it easy to enjoy both hidden gems and big attractions during your stay.

This cottage is also small dog-friendly 🐶 (with approval and fee), so you can bring along your furry friend. With peaceful surroundings, cozy comforts, and convenient access to both Branson and nearby attractions, Murphy's Place is a perfect spot to relax, reconnect, and celebrate life's special moments.

This cabin was perfect! The decor was awesome. It was so peaceful! The creek behind it and setting belongs in a movie! The decks over the creek are an amazing touch and I even saw some deer! The drive down to it was beautiful and a quiet weekend was just what I needed! Can’t wait to come back and bring my girlfriend! 5 star plus!

Cute place, very much off the beaten path, there’s really nothing close for restaurants ect. It’s very tiny inside the unit, and the bed is HORRIBLE

I’m writing to let you know about a serious safety concern I encountered immediately after checking into your cabin in Branson. Within about 30 minutes of arrival, despite all doors and windows being closed, we discovered multiple wasps inside the bedroom. It was clear that there was likely a nest between the light fixture and the ceiling, as the number of wasps kept increasing. I have pictures documenting this issue.I trusted that the cabin would be a safe accommodation, and given that it was not, I have asked the host for a full refund. I believe that’s the fair and right thing to do under these circumstances. The host has become unresponsive

The cottage was very clean and tidy, and the check-in process was smooth. The space is cozy, with a reading nook, though there was only one chair inside. We moved a chair from the porch so two of us could sit inside since it was raining.The kitchen does not include a stove, which was noted in another review. We had asked about a grill before arrival but didn’t receive a response, so we didn’t bring food to cook. When we arrived there was a small grill on the porch. The cottage does provide both a Keurig (with a few K-cups) and a standard drip coffee maker. We had brought our own filters and coffee, which worked fine.Internet was not working when we arrived, and there was no AT&T cellular service, making communication with the host a bit challenging. Once we made contact, the host attempted to fix the Wi-Fi, which offered some intermittent connectivity, but streaming videos was difficult due to constant buffering.The fire pit is a shared amenity, so it felt a bit awkward being right outside another cottage, but we still enjoyed an evening by the fire with the relaxing sound of the nearby creek. We brought our own wood, as we didn’t see a place to purchase bundled wood on site or in Blue Eye.Ultimately, we left a day early because the bed was not what we are accustomed to and neither of us slept well. The cottage is very cozy and might be ideal for a single person looking to read and relax, but it may not suit couples or those needing more comfort and amenities.
