Murphys Wine Cottages: Fishing Cabin Sleeps 3, Economy Priced

Open now is our newest Vacation Cottage inspired by the amazing lakes and fishing spots in Calaveras County. Recreational swimming and cooking trout by a campfire were popular Calaveras activities enjoyed by the earliest arrivals from the gold rush of the 1840's. Building on this tradition (and the fact that we had a bunch of unused fishing decoration from one of our lake properties), we decided to dedicate one of the Murphys Wine Cottages to Lake Tulloch, New Melones, and the various nearby streams.

We are done cleaning and decorating this unit. We are offering lower rates before it is opening to entice you to book early.

The Fishing Cottage has a brand new comfortable queen mattress and bed, new living room seating, new paint, brand new appliances, and deck with new outdoor furniture. Every stay comes with complimentary coffee, soaps, hand lotions, and other hospitality amenities for your enjoyment. Priced well below other lodging in downtown Murphys, we believe you will find this economy to be one of the best deals in town. For a slight step up, please visit our Old West cottage. To be on Main Street, please visit our Retro Unit.


Murphys Wine Cottages are truly in real downtown Murphys. The units are located just a few feet to Main Street. Tasting rooms, restaurants, coffee, and stores are less than one minute away by foot.

This cottage is in a complex of six cottages on Jones Street in downtown Murphys. This is the first conversion into vacation rental.

With a "Fishing" theme, the cottage is comfortable with a bedroom, bath and living room. The cottage boasts its own private porch, sitting garden, and parking space. The cottage has a small kitchenette with pots, pans, coffee pot, microwave, fridge, linens, and a tv with dvd player. We offer a comfortable cabin that we hope you will enjoy.

The cottage is truly in downtown Murphys; the four leaf clover, at the creek, is 165 feet from the driveway to the cottage. You are steps to Alchemy, wine tasting, and restaurants.. really!!!!

So, the prices are low to get this started and build our clientele. We have been operating vacation rentals in the area for 15 years and operate Calaveras County's largest rental serving several hundred guests per year. When we are done with this project it will be an exciting new place to visit and will be a destination of its own. In the meantime, we want to get people here as we are developing the cottage and the rest of the property.
