"This cozy little cabin is a gem amongst the trees! The beds are soft, the kitchen is well equipped and the outside seating areas are absolutely wonderful. The weather was so nice, we were barely inside! Our host was available to us and we had very good communication with her. The neighborhood is peaceful and you can take a walk around Snowshoe lake or have a picnic and wade in the water there. In general, the location is excellent -- just a few miles through Arnold to visit the majestic redwoods...

Murphy's cottage in Arnold

8/10 Good
"King bed is a sleep number. Figured that out on night two. Nice surprise. The area is so quiet and relaxing. There may be an additional rental above the garage. We never seen anyone. The entry to it goes past the entry of house. Definitely stairs to get up to house. Be aware if you have mobility issues. Not enough seating for 4 or more people in the living room. There is no dining table. The kitchen island acts as the dining table with bar stool seats. Not the most comfortable after a while. Over all it was a nice great away for a couple of days. We explored the area and the town of Murphy. Enjoyed walking through big trees and on the way back found a small lake that would have been perfect for paddle boards and kayaks. We know for next time."

"Cabin is surrounded by a lovely grove of trees and two decks for relaxing. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, and plenty of dishes and glasses that we only ran the dishwasher once during our stay. While this didn't effect us, there are a set of steep stairs to enter the cabin which may not be good for everyone. The location is great - quiet and beautiful yet close to Big Trees as well as Murphys."
