About this space:
The Gage/Murphy Mansion is a crown jewel from the early days of Prescott and located just 2 blocks away from Courthouse Square and Whiskey Row. Originally constructed in 1895 as the family home of business tycoon E.B. Gage, and later railroad tycoon Frank M. Murphy, this restored monument of local history has been just steps away from the heart of Prescott for over 125 years.
The space:
The entire home is 7274 sq ft with a total of 10 units spread out amongst 3 floors and a basement, each unique to one another in size, layout, and design – come back and stay at them all for a different experience each time! You will not find another gem like this in all of Prescott.
Unit 8 - “The Cabin Suite” is on the 3rd level (top floor) and is one of the larger units at approx. 800 sq ft with 2 bed/1 bath. This space has 1 large-size bedroom with a queen-size bed and a 39” TV, 1 smaller bedroom with a twin size bed and a 32” TV, a living room with a sectional sofa and 42” TV, a small dining table with chairs, bathroom with a stand-up shower, and a full kitchen for your use and enjoyment. The unit is up high and boasts some of the best views where you can see Thumb Butte, Granite Mountain, and the town of Prescott.
Guest access:
The building itself has two main entrances. One is through the front door of the home which can be accessed from the front porch on the north side of the house that faces Gurley St. The other is located through the Mansion’s side door on the West side of the building, which you can see from S Alarcon St. The side door is closer to the parking, but the main entrance is a bit more “grand” – feel free to use either.
Unit 8’s entrance is best accessed through the Mansion’s side door on the West side of the building. Enter the building through there, walk up the stairs to the 2nd level, then around the corner to the right and up the 2nd flight of stairs to the 3rd level, and the door to “The Cabin Suite” will be to the left.
Other things to note:
Please respect and take care of the home during your stay. Much of it is original and cannot be replaced.
As much of it is original please expect some creaking floors and other noises and sights that come with a home that’s well over 100 years old. We think it adds to the appeal! But not everyone may think the same way so, just a heads up 😊.
Parking is first come first serve and is limited to 1 vehicle per unit. There is an upper level parking lot accessed via the private road immediately to the south of the building, and a smaller lower level parking lot on the same level as the building. Street parking is also available.
