Low key, simple lodgings. Worked well for my son and me as a base for heading up to Bear valley. Close to highway and food, but quiet.

A break from the Bay Area

We came up to Arnold for a little getaway from the Bay Area and we had an amazing time. Murphys cottage was very clean, spacious and the location was perfect. I loved the covered porch and the rocking chair. It was a lovely spot to curl up with a book. The kitchen island table was expandable and perfect for our game nights. We couldn’t have asked for better accommodations.

The Winter Home

This was our fifth visit to Murphy’s Cottage, and our kids have lovingly nicknamed it "the winter home" since we make annual trips. The cabin is always clean and well-kept, and its location is perfect—close to the main road and nearby stores. It’s equipped with central heating and a cozy wood-burning fireplace, which we love to relax by after a day in the snow at Bear Valley. Plus, it’s just a 35-minute drive to the slopes, making it a convenient and comfortable retreat.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

This was our fourth time staying at this property. We loved our stay. The cabin had everything we needed. The timing was perfect; we got overnight snow two nights in a row and the kids were able to play and sled in the yard. We will definitely be returning in the future.
