Murphy's Cottage was clean, inviting, and a perfect location to get to the grocery store, restaurants, and White Pines Lake. The kitchen had all of the amenities you need, the new AC unit in the living area was perfect at cooling down the place quickly, and the bedrooms were comfortable. We would definitely stay again when in Arnold!

Murphy’s Cottage was perfect for our relaxing getaway! The house was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed the large shaded deck and grill for dining outdoors. Kitchen was well stocked with what we needed. We were especially happy to have our dog with us. Arnold has a lot to offer, and is very dog friendly. Communication with the owner was easy. He was quick to respond to questions. We look forward to returning to this idyllic spot in the future.

The cottage was very well stocked, spacious and neat. Very nice and clean kitchen and appliances. The host was very responsive regarding a minor problem we had with the heat which was taken care of almost immediately and a few other questions we had prior to arrival. Beautiful wrap around deck with chairs and a grill. The only detractors were that the nearby cottages were a little closer than we anticipated (and I'm not complaining that it was presented as such) and there was an attached smaller cottage - although we were there much off-season if it weren't it might have felt lacking in privacy. Also there were a few cobwebby corners and dusty lightbulbs. Although aside from that the place was very clean. I wish the fact that the master bedroom has a "sleep number bed" was mentioned as we didn't notice the remote til the day we left and it would have been appreciated! All in all it was a wonderful stay although too short. We loved going to some of the nearby state parks to see the Sequoias and more, and we loved nearby Murphys and little Arnold as well. We even had the enchanting experience of seeing a curious mama brown bear and her 2 cubs alongside a back road. Wish we didn't live in the other side of the country and could more easily come back!

Easy spot

Low key, simple lodgings. Worked well for my son and me as a base for heading up to Bear valley. Close to highway and food, but quiet.

A break from the Bay Area

We came up to Arnold for a little getaway from the Bay Area and we had an amazing time. Murphys cottage was very clean, spacious and the location was perfect. I loved the covered porch and the rocking chair. It was a lovely spot to curl up with a book. The kitchen island table was expandable and perfect for our game nights. We couldn’t have asked for better accommodations.
