Perfection!!
All it took was stepping through the front door of this amazing home to know that we were in a very special place! Gorgeous, secluded views of the oak-studded hills, a beautiful upscale interior that met our every need and more, thoughtful hosts who were available to help but respected our privacy, all provided us a perfect 4 day stay in the Murphys area. Our favorite highlights were the stunning deck with the gas fire pit, the perfectly appointed kitchen including snacks, coffee & a lovely welcome note, and the spa-worthy bathrooms. Thank you Alan and Arlene for such a wonderful stay…we can’t wait to return!! Marcia and Sandy🍁🍂

Everything You Need in a Secluded Setting
Located in the far reaches of the Forest Meadows area you find a super clean house with a large deck area overlooking the hills filled with oaks and pines. I loved the outdoor deck with a propane BBQ and Blackstone griddle. Cooked multiple meals including bacon/eggs/potatoes and perfectly seared ribeye steaks on the griddle. The house has everything you need and more for a comfortable stay including a fully appointed kitchen with top quality pots, pans, bowls, cooking utensils, large refrigerator, gas stove and everything else. My wife loved the plethora of quality towels, bath products, comfy bed and linens, and how clean everything was on arrival. The owners are local and super friendly and helpful. Close enough to Murphys, wine tasting, and Calaveras Big Trees but far enough away to give you the solitude of a wonderful vacation.

Quiet yet close
The house is perfect for a quiet getaway. It is tucked back away from the hustle and bustle and has a great view! We were close enough to all of the attractions so that exploring the area was easy. Arlene and Adam were great hosts! Nice personal touches and coffee, bottled water, and snacks available as well. The house is comfortably furnished with a warm homey feeling. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay : - )

Toasty Stay in Murphy's
We picked the hottest days of the year to visit, just lucky I guess. The house is beautiful and very well appointed. Owners are close by and very available when we had questions. Beautiful view. The kitchen is better appointed than my one at home. Thanks for a comfortable stay.

Home away from home
This truly is a home away from home. Bring your personal belongings and you will want for nothing else. Everything you need is already there for you. We spent Christmas 2024 here and we cooked, baked, bbq, skied, laughed, sat by the fire and made memories. The cabin is immaculate and everything from the moment we confirmed our booking until we left was seamless. Owners were wonderful and great with communication. There is acres and views for days so while the owners are on property they are extremely respectful. And honestly it was comforting to know they weren’t too far in case we needed anything which we didn’t. We are looking at the calendar now to see when we can go back. This is truly a very special property.

Our experience was above 5 stars! The house is spectacular, super clean, bright, phenomenal views, great location, private and peaceful. Adam & Arlene are terrific hosts. They stocked the house with everything we would need and more. They set the bar very high for other hosts. We felt spoiled! I highly recommend the stay. I would love to come back again.

Dream House
The home had everything you could ever need. It was immaculate. Everything was very clean, new appliances, cozy beds, great views. The kitchen is better equipped than mine! A large porch with outside barbecue, griddle, firepit, a large patio table. The view into the woods is breath taking. Very relaxing and very hard to leave. Arlene was an amazing host. She was so helpful & easy to communicate with.

Best VRBO house I've ever stayed at
Apparently, this custom home was built just a few years ago. Located on a hill in a secluded gated community, the quality of building materials and home furnishings is really impressive. It's equipped with literally everything you need. The showers are excellent and there's individual AC controls in every room. The spacious back deck provides unobstructed views across the forest to rolling hills on the horizon. It's a 15-minute drive down to Murphys. Oh, and the hosts/owners are cool people who live further up the hill. I'd definitely stay there again.

Perfect place!
We wanted to get away for a fews days for my Birthday and found this jem. Arlene was an amazing host. She communicated everything so clearly and was always quick to respond. We came during a heat wave so she made sure to turn on the AC 30mins before we arrived and we are all grateful for that lol. The home is perfect for two couples. The kitchen, dinningroom and livingroom is open and great for hanging out together. Head out to the clean deck in the evenings, BBQ and watch the sunset. We had a great time and hope to come back in the future!

Better than the pictures!
One of the nicest places we've ever rented. It feels like you're in the tree tops on a mountain. View is amazing and the home is so well done with all the modern finishes but still retains that cozy feeling. You do have to drive up a mountain to get there but it's an absolutely amazing place.

Remote mountain home, that’s very accesible
Very easy checkin and communication with the owners prior to our visit and during the stay. Both owners were responsive and helpful. The home is very clean and modern, fully stocked kitchen modern appliances. Nice bathrooms. The deck has an incredible view, very good place to hangout and relax. It feels secluded, but short drives to to Murphys other towns in the area. The recent storms affected internet service and the owners were proactive in solving it.

Perfect family trip
I stayed here with my 5yro twins and husband. The house was perfect, it had everything we needed and more. We went to Murphys to take our boys to the snow but since the first day was rainy, we spent it indoors. We played board games, worked on puzzles, took baths (in a bathtub with the view of the forest) and cooked dinner. The kitchen is fully stocked and has everything you need. The next day we went to Bear Valley, which is only about a 40 minute drive. The location of this home is so convenient, it's close to Murphys downtown and Arnold so it's perfect if you want to go out to dinner and participate in snow activities. I highly recommend this house and can't wait to return! Thank you Arlene and Adam!
