Road Trip to Gold Rush Country

Very cute property. Went there with friend so the 2 bedroom 2 bath was perfect. Disappointed in the plumbing in the house. Faucet on the tub needs work, toilet in that bathroom has to be flushed numerous times, faucet handles throughout are backwards & confusing. Really goofy. You need a better plumber. Hair dryer in master needs replaced. These minor issues should be easily repaired.

Great Location

Loved where this place was located. Just a hop skip and a jump to Main Street Murphy's. Walked everywhere. The place is on the old side, but it is very clean. The place did get a little toasty and we were told not to turn the thermostat down past 70. So it got a bit too warm for us. Otherwise, a good stay.

Overnight stay

This place was perfect for our 1 night stay in Murphys. Convenient walk to town, and we loved that they are pet friendly and dont require a two or three night minimum. Very cute little house with comfortable bed.
