Sophisticated Gold Country Cottage
Located 1 mile from downtown Murphys on 6.5 acres. Private but not remote. New construction, this charming little cottage is fresh and unique. Warm, colorful and friendly with a nice combination of new and antique furnishings. Comfort is our primary focus, king sized bed, all cotton linens, sparkly bathroom, large deck with view, beautiful tile and granite kitchen and cozy living room. There’s also a queen sized aero bed that can be rolled out on the deck if you choose to sleep under the stars. Walking distance to Indian Rock Vineyards and tasting room.The evenings are filled with the sounds of frogs and crickets, turn off the lights for great star gazing. Deer, turkey, quail and rabbits are frequent visitors. Perfect base for your visit to Murphys and all that Calaveras County has to offer.

Quiet and secluded with wonderful accommodations. Beautifully decorated inside and a super comfy bed also. Because the cottage sits up on a hill, the views from the deck and surrounding acreage are really lovely. Very peaceful place.
Can not say enough positive about this charming cottage. Wonderful deck, comfortable, small but somehow with everything you could possibly need. Would definitely return!
We had a lovely time. The weather was perfect. The host was very responsive. The home has everything you would need. The views from the deck were amazing, especially watching to moon rise. We were able to recharge. We would love to come stay again!
Loved this sweet cottage! Everything we needed was there, and it is so comfortable and beautifully decorated. Located about 1.5 miles outside of town and set on its own with lovely sweeping views meant a real sense of privacy and so quiet and peaceful! Renee was super responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back as this is a perfect base for walking in Big Trees State Park (fall colors were amazing) and cycling, plus enjoying the sweet town and amenities of Murphys.
We had a wonderful two-day stay at this property. It was perfectly appointed with everything we needed. We enjoyed cooking and dining on the deck in the evening and sipping our coffee there in the morning. The seclusion of the property allows for a peaceful stay. We were constantly watching the numerous birds around us - especially the humming birds! We only wished we had booked another night because it was hard to leave.
perfect location for quiet relaxation up in the woods surrounded by beautiful nature with the luxury of hotel-like inside/ well equipped home. Did not need to go out of the property at all because the place is already sufficiently amazing. Only minor communication problem did not get exact info how to open the gate ahead of time but Renee answered our call right away and helped us.
This little cottage is the perfect place to escape from the hubbub and stress of everyday life. You feel like you're amongst the treetops in the middle of a forest, yet you're a mile or two from charming Murphys and many wineries in the area. This location is also the perfect jumping off place for exploring the Sierras or Gold Country towns. And if you like hummingbirds, trees, or beautiful art, you are in luck, as this location has them all. I would stay here again without hesitation.
My beau and I absolutely loved our stay at Renee and Paul’s hideaway!
It is beautifully designed with style and class. It was the perfect size for 2. We grilled and sipped both our evening wine and morning coffee on the deck-watching the antics of the resident hummingbird.
Bed was very comfortable! Nice bath and toiletries. The kitchen was perfect. (Note that there is a microwave but no oven).
Secluded and yet close enough to town. We will be back!
Cottage was just as described. . . .quiet, clean, well appointed, great location close to town and local sites, beautiful views from deck, responsive host . . . everything you would want from a vacation rental and more. We would definitely recommend this property to others and plan to be back ourselves.
We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the cabin. It is equipped with an ample supply of anything you need (I know to pack less next time) Star gazing was amazing. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.
Quiet, clean and comfortable retreat in the heart of Murphys. All the ammenities of home with the addition of wildlife viewing and stargazing on the deck. Perfection!

Great little place!
Lovely little cottage. It was perfect for our wine tasting weekend. Close to town but quiet and remote! Watching the meteor shower on the deck was a highlight!
Just finished our third stay at this property. Everything was great as we expected it to be. It is a charming property in a quiet location which never disappoints!
Lovely spot atop a hill , beautifully and comfortable home . Short drive to downtown Murphy’s .

Perfect weekend get-away for two!
Claire's excellent taste and attention to detail made it a joy to spend the weekend at her country cottage. It is so relaxing and peaceful here! We particularly enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the birds and squirrels in the trees all around us. We'll be back!
