Perfect location! You can walk to everything from this cute, clean, and comfortable house. If you're familiar with Murphy's you know how important it is to be able to walk through town- ubers are few and far between- ours never showed up for a concert that we went to at Ironstone. We had a great stay, great trip, and plan on coming back!

Great location, steps from downtown. Clean and cozy. We brought cinnamon rolls for our granddaughter, didn’t realize there wasn’t an oven. But overall a great VRBO!

Great location

You can not beat the location of this home. Perfect for four people. The only true disappointment is that there is no true oven as listed, it is an air fryer/oven so do not plan on cooking anything large.

You can’t beat the location!

Neat little house with more than enough room for my family of 5. Everything was very clean and tidy. The layout is a little odd but I wouldn’t deduct any points for that! It’s a unique little place that’s in the best location if you are spending time in Murphys, seriously. We were only in town for two nights, not long enough! We’ll be back!

The location and description was very accurate as described. I was able to communicate with the property management. There were ants though, so maybe the property should be sprayed periodically to control that. But overall, i would definately recommend this property and would stay again with my husband and daughter.

Great getaway

The location is amazing and the house was perfect. Each couple had their own private space and bathroom. The only downside was that we couldn’t get the cooktop to work with food and water in the pans. Other than that it was great!

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Oct 2024
Hi Patricia- so glad to hear that you enjoyed the house! We sent someone out after reading this review and found that the stove has a function for child safety where the burners can be "locked." Instructions on how to turn that off have now been added to the house instructions. So sorry you had that issue! If you stay again please know our office is open seven days a week and we have people available after hours should you ever need assistance with anything.

Great place & local property management- terrible VRBO management

Perfect location for enjoying Murphys! I worked directly with Murphys Vacation Rentals & they are excellent! However, VRBO keeps messaging me but cannot locate my actual reservation. So I was charged the VRBO fee and received zero services from them. I highly recommend working directly with Murphys Vacation rentals for this area.
