Wow, what a wonderful property! We have rented lots of properties around the country through VRBO and this was among the best. A big comfy home in a quiet neighborhood near enough to the downtown to walk to dinner, wine and shops. It was perfect for our family of four adults. The home is even better than the pictures show, and there are such nice touches, like a small selection of local coffees and coffee supplies to get us started. In fact, we did not have to buy any additional "supplies" (paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, trash bags, etc.) during our stay. We were only there for a few days and unlike some of our other stays we didn't really do any cooking so that may have made a difference, but plenty to get road-weary travelers started for sure. Several other little touches I will let you discover for yourself! Really felt like visiting a good friend's house rather than a rental.
We really enjoyed being able to walk back and forth to Murphys Main Street. We took advantage of the nice fall weather to walk to town for coffee and pastries each morning and loved being able to walk home from dinner and wine tastings in the afternoon/evenings. Could have even walked to church on Sunday morning! We brought our wine purchases home and enjoyed a fun night around the fire pit as well.
Our son was performing in a show in Columbia and suggested Murphys as our home base. Sonora, Columbia, Angels Camp, Arnold & Big Trees were all within easy driving distance. Truthfully, I hesitated at first on this property because it didn't have any reviews on VRBO, but with a little research, I found it on AirBnB and also a local rental site and am assuring you not to worry...we all loved it and have great memories of our trip!
