Lovely getaway!

We love this place! It’s the 2nd time we’ve been here with our dogs. It’s safe for them on the raised & enclosed deck. Hubby loves the AC and the quietness of the area. Close enough to Murphys if you want to mosey downtown. It’s cozy and quiet and comfortable. We plan to return next year!

Great vacation property with a great view

Awesome stay on the hill

What a fantastic place! Super clean, beautifully remodeled, completely stocked with every amenity you might need, awesome deck, amazing sunsets... Excellent location if you enjoy sweeping panoramic views, no next-door neighbors, and don't mind a 10-minute drive into town along a back country road.

Awesome winter getaway !

Our family really enjoyed staying in this cabin. It was recently renovated, everything is nice and modern, and very comfortable. Loved the location, it's nice and secluded. We were able to take some great walks along the snow packed meadows and hillside. It was a pleasure working with the owner, and plan on coming back !

Nice mountain home, rustic feel.

Overall, nice stay and very responsive owners. Very pretty location, feels isolated, but close to town. We had extreme heat, however, and it didn't get quite as cool as we would like in the downstairs bedroom--probably be fine even in normal heat Not fancy, but nice and cozy.

We should have read the reviews first

First of all this is not in Murphy’s. This is 20 minutes outside Murphy’s. Second, while this cabin may have beds for 6 people, we would not recommend it for any more than four (including dogs). We were disappointed by the cleaning before our arrival. There was food in the bottom of the fridge and freezer, and the floor was dirty, too.

Comforatble home, close to downtown Murphys

Murphys Hideaway is a very comfortable home and super clean. Five (adults) went out on Friday for a long weekend. We were all very happy with the house and the accommodations. Pretty windy road up from downtown, so we stayed in for the evenings and cooked so we could all enjoy local wines. Day trips were super easy and the locals in downtown we all really nice. Great small town feel. Gerri was super easy to work with, fast on email responses and quick to return a phone call. We will definitely be back!

Scenic Getaway

Just a lovely home away from home. The enclosed & raised deck was exactly what we needed for the dogs. The AC was fantastic and well needed for the 100°+ temps. Kitchen & bathrooms are well stocked quite clean. Beds are comfy and outdoor seating are cozy. We definitely plan on returning next year. Road coming up here is PAVED, just a bit patchy in some spots. Quiet and cozy, just exactly what we needed. Owner is very quick to respond, even with an unexpected small snag that resolved itself in a timely manner.

Serene Getaway

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Murphys Hideaway. Even though the temps outside were in the high 90's-100, we stayed cool inside with the AC. The mornings on the back deck with my coffee & book were heavenly! The evenings on the deck seeing the night sky was incredible! I forgot how it is to see all of those stars! It is out of town and very quiet. If you are looking to getaway from it all, this is the place. The ride into town is about 18 minutes so if you are looking for something in Murphys proper this is not the place for you. We loved being away from it all. The communication with the host was great. The place was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!

Everything you need

We loved the house. The setting was gorgeous. The house had absolutely everything that you need. The rooms were pretty spacious and comfortable. CONS: No AC. Although, there are lots of fans, we had to cut our vacation a day short because the heat was unbearable and made it impossible to sleep at night. The road from Murphys is horrible!!! Better drive a bit further down on 4 and turn on Avery Sheep Ranch Rd and then on the street of the house.

Lovely getaway retreat!

Murphy's Hideaway was such a relaxing and restful place. I went there by myself with my little dog to relax and recharge. It was perfect. Off the beaten path for sure and so quiet. No traffic; just the birds and that great view off the deck. The kitchen was very well stocked. There were thoughtful touches like a basket of trail mix and granola bars near the door to grab on your way out for your daily activities and water bottles in the fridge. There were even extra dog bowls in the mud room for the pets. I had no lack of anything at the cabin and hope to return again soon! As previous reviews may mention, the road out to the place is definitely rural. I'm not from an urban area at all and drive country roads all the time, but I was thinking much of the time that surely I was on some back forest road that my GPS mistakenly routed me to and that I couldn't be on the "real road". Turns out I was on the right road, so don't be alarmed if you think you took a wrong turn! But the remoteness of the road is what helped make the property so peaceful!

Country home in remote setting

Stayed two nights in the Murphys Hideaway home for a weekend getaway with two girlfriends. We arrived to a glorious sunset on the deck with a beautiful view of the country side. The house was spacious for three adults with one bedroom downstairs and a loft type setting upstairs with two seperate sleeping quarters. The stairs were a bit narrow and could prove tricky for any guests with physical disabilities. The home is in a remote area which requires a drive on a narrow country road. I read a previous review about the uncomfortable heat in the home, and I would concur 100% with that statement. My friends and I are from California and we have experienced our fair share of heat in different parts of the state. But the heat in this house was unbearable at night; the owner provided oscillating floor fans and the rooms had ceiling fans but they provided little relief. I ended up sleeping on the couch downstairs because I could not bear the heat in the upstairs area. Needless to say, we all experienced very poor sleep over the weekend.

What a view!!! This house is a little out of the way, but so worth the drive! Super quiet, beyond clean and an amazing view. My boys were even impressed with the sunsets. We did stay when it was over 100’ outside and my only negative thing to say about this house was it was hot. I would definitely stay here again!

Quiet

The property was just what we were looking for. I have not liked being around cities during the 4th of July, for many years, so we were looking for a quiet place to go. This house/cabin was perfect. It was very comfortable, the three a/c units kept it nice and cool on some pretty hot days. The kitchen is nicely stocked if you want to do any cooking. The beds are comfortable. Overall it's a great quiet place
