This was the perfect relaxing getaway at a quaint little cottage. The location was great. Easy walk to the shops in Murphys. Just be aware that the shop jours are limited and everything closes early, but that left more time to relax. The host Denise was great, friendly and easy to work with.

Delightful Cottage in excellent location

Charming well appointed cottage, really loved the delightful style and beautiful garden. Much enjoyed that there is a little outdoor seating area that was very enjoyable in the evenings while looking out at the super pretty garden. The location is just a block to main street so this provided a terrific location to soak up the Murphys ambience. I highly recommend this for a romantic couples get away!

We loved our stayed in Denise's cottage! It is a very short walk to Main St and all the restaurants and wine tasting shops. It was our anniversary and Denise welcomed us with a banner wishing us a Happy Anniversary. The yard is whimsical and peaceful. We will stay here again, if we are planning a trip to Murphys
