About this property

Sophisticated Gold Country Cottage

Located 1 mile from downtown Murphys on 6.5 acres. Private but not remote. New construction, this charming little cottage is fresh and unique. Warm, colorful and friendly with a nice combination of new and antique furnishings. Comfort is our primary focus, king sized bed, all cotton linens, sparkly bathroom, large deck with view, beautiful tile and granite kitchen and cozy living room. There’s also a queen sized aero bed that can be rolled out on the deck if you choose to sleep under the stars. Walking distance to Indian Rock Vineyards and tasting room.The evenings are filled with the sounds of frogs and crickets, turn off the lights for great star gazing. Deer, turkey, quail and rabbits are frequent visitors.
Perfect base for your visit to Murphys and all that Calaveras County has to offer.

Beautiful cottage in Murphys
Loved this sweet cottage! Everything we needed was there, and it is so comfortable and beautifully decorated. Located about 1.5 miles outside of town and set on its own with lovely sweeping views meant a real sense of privacy and so quiet and peaceful! Renee was super responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back as this is a perfect base for walking in Big Trees State Park (fall colors were amazing) and cycling, plus enjoying the sweet town and amenities of Murphys.

Gem in the foothills!

Serene Treetop Cottage
This little cottage is the perfect place to escape from the hubbub and stress of everyday life. You feel like you're amongst the treetops in the middle of a forest, yet you're a mile or two from charming Murphys and many wineries in the area. This location is also the perfect jumping off place for exploring the Sierras or Gold Country towns. And if you like hummingbirds, trees, or beautiful art, you are in luck, as this location has them all. I would stay here again without hesitation.

The "Hummingbird" Cottage
We had a wonderful two-day stay at this property. It was perfectly appointed with everything we needed. We enjoyed cooking and dining on the deck in the evening and sipping our coffee there in the morning. The seclusion of the property allows for a peaceful stay. We were constantly watching the numerous birds around us - especially the humming birds! We only wished we had booked another night because it was hard to leave.

Peaceful Tree House
Imagine staying in a treehouse, that's how you'll feel in this wonderful abode perfectly appointed for two. The details of this little hideaway are beautifully curated for comfort. We were there during the first rain of the season and thoroughly enjoyed watching it pour down on the pine and oak trees through picture windows in every room. While the property itself is very private, it is located in a charming neighborhood. If you are the walking type, it is an easy two mile walk into town. It was magical staying there. We can't wait to return.

About the host

Host profile image
We've been coming to Murphys as a get away for over 15 years. We love all the diverse activities that Calaveras County has to offer. We have always dreamed of having a place of our own in Murphys and have looked at properties in the area for over 10 years. We always prefer to stay in vacation rentals because it allows us to see different areas and different neighborhoods. We first rented this property in 2014 and immediately fell in love with the beautifully decorated cottage, the amazing view and the perfect combination of being away from it all but close to downtown. We were lucky enough to purchase it furnished in 2020. The previous owner, an interior designer, designed and decorated the cottage to be well appointed, comfortable and full of color.
As the new owners we will not be changing a thing! We invite those of you who previously stayed on this property to join us once again. We are happy to continue to share this unique and beautiful property with other travelers.
