Murphys Getaway - Enjoy Wineries, Hiking, Concerts, Shopping & Small Town Charm

My house is steps from the Indian Rock Vineyards tasting room and a 1.5 mile pleasant walk/drive to Main Street in Murphys where you’ll find unpretentious wine tasting, great restaurants from thin crust pizza to California nouvelle cuisine, Gold Rush history come to life, outstanding shopping for all budgets and great antiquing opportunities. A little further afield you can enjoy caves, ziplining, walking tours, kayaking, skiing, snow shoeing as well as many hiking trails including Calaveras Big Trees State Park with its famous and stately Redwood trees or…

Stay in your robe and slippers and relax on the back deck with a peaceful view of the woods. Enjoy local bird life visiting the many feeders. Kick back with a glass of wine, a good book or gather everyone together to watch a movie in the cozy den.

My home is fully equipped with modern conveniences to ensure your comfort and enjoyment including a kitchen outfitted for cooking, microwave, dishwasher, washer and dryer, TV with cable and free WIFI.

The master bedroom looks out on the beautiful deck and includes a king size bed and full private bath. The second bedroom also has a king size bed and desk for working remotely and is adjacent to a full hallway bathroom.

The kitchen, dining room and entertainment room are connected which makes for a great opportunity to visit over meals, have a movie night or enjoy board games.

To ensure you get settled in and have a great start to your stay with us, we will provide an initial supply of toilet paper, facial tissue, and paper towels, but these may not be enough for your entire stay and you may need to purchase additional supplies.

For security purposes, on August 1, 2022 we are installing a Ring doorbell at the front door and cameras above the garage doors that records those entering the home. There are no devices inside of the home.

If you have any questions about the property or the area, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I believe you will fall in love with Murphys just as I did on my first visit over 10 years ago.

Amazing getaway spot

We had such a great time here! The location tends to be below the snow line, but getting to snow is a quick drive away. This location is surrounded by wineries and nature, and is very close to downtown Murphys with its cute shops. We loved the house itself too. Very spacious for three people with comfortable beds and a cozy fireplace. Staying here was such a great experience!

Thanks for the wonderful stay

We had a great time at Murphy while driving to Bear Valley daily for skiing. The house is located at a very convenient location for shopping and food. The house had everything we need, and very nicely decorated and comfortable. We enjoyed the backyard as well.

Great rental close to the snow

We rented this house for a few days and enjoyed driving up to Bear Valley from it. It is a great location with all the amenities you need and the place was really nice. And it was only a short 50 min drive up to the snow in Bear Valley. I really recommend it :)

Family Snow Trip

My husband, daughter, father and I enjoy taking trips together. This was our second time in the Murphys area and the home was so cozy, clean and comfortable. Jennifer was a welcoming host and quick to communicate. It was close to downtown Murphys, a grocery store, and less than an hour from snow play areas. We would definitely return!

Adorable comfortable home

This is a charming home in Murphy's, it has a lovely back deck and creek running through the backyard area. We also appreciated the quiet and not having neighbors too close, plus a winery down the street. The host has thought of everything. My kiddos enjoyed it too, my daughter called the den the "secret living room" :)

Almost perfect - but...

Every aspect of the rental was perfect. Unfortunately, the adjacent neighbor down the street is inconsiderate and let their dog bark starting at 6:30 a.m. daily. Perhaps Jennifer can speak with her neighbor.

Comfortable and Quiet

We were looking for a place from which to enjoy the beauty of the Sierra. Jennifer's home was comfortable, in a quiet neighborhood and just right for my sister and me. There was plenty of room for relaxing and the home was stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed dinners on the deck which is very private. We went up the mountain to Alpine Lake which was very mellow and pretty and to walk among the giant sequoia at the Calaveras Big Trees. We really enjoyed our time in this home.

Peace and Quiet

The house was in a great location for getting around to all the little foothill towns. We went to Murphys and walked around and went to the Father's Day Fly-In in Columbia. It was hot out and very nice to come back to the cool air-conditioned house. The view from the back of the house is amazing. We didn't see any deer, but saw plenty of squirrels and caught a glimpse of what we think was a fox. A wonderful stay!

Great stay in gold country

Jennifer's place was perfect for our group of five (four adults and one kid). It is exactly like the photos. All of us enjoyed the den+kitchen+dining room area; the plant obsessed people in our group (me) couldn't stop looking at the succulent collection. My kid called the master bath the "fancy bath" and loved taking baths in the bathtub. The front garden was beautiful. The back deck was relaxed and restful. We went in late July. Lots of shade from the trees. Jennifer was an amazing host. Great communication from the very start. She suggested several activities in the area, like Columbia State Historic Park and Astronomy Night at Calaveras Big Trees Park. She quickly responded to a question about where to get a floatie (it was really important at the time). And when there was an unexpected power outage for all of Murphys and part of Angels Camp, she was in touch with us with information on battery powered lamps (already setup in the den and living room), portable lights, and current PGE information. A wonderful place to stay.
