Happy Hollow

Happy Hollow, located in the heart of downtown Murphys, is an ideal gathering spot for family and friends. A comfortable, lovingly remodeled, single-level home on a sunny, 1/2 acre, fully fenced parcel with plenty of off-street parking, all within easy walking distance to everything downtown, including the Murphys Hotel, shops, restaurants, two dozen wine tasting rooms, community park, playground, and the river. This home sits one block off Main Street, so you are just about as close and convenient as most want to be to downtown, but without all the traffic, parking and noise issues. The home has a flexible, single-level design. The living room provides a central space to gather, with comfortable seating, a piano and two guitars for your enjoyment. On one side of the home sits the primary bedroom with a full bath and a second bedroom adjoining it, while the other two bedrooms and another bath sit on the opposite wing of the house. Both remodeled bathrooms have a tub and shower, plush towels, hair dryer and hotel toiletries. The remodeled kitchen is well-stocked for cooking and entertaining, with coffee beans, half and half, hot chocolate, tea, and basic spices provided. Dining room seating for eight plus breakfast bar seating for three more. The TV room off the kitchen has a couch and handy desk space, giving kids a quiet place away from adults. The adjoining laundry room has a washer and dryer, iron and ironing board. Five-star amenities like free WIFI, chocolates by the bedside, fresh flowers, snacks, toys and games for all ages, and gas BBQ have it stand out from the rest. When it's time to move the gathering outside, a generously-sized covered front porch provides nice shaded space for relaxing, BBQ'ing and entertaining, while the fully-fenced, front lawn and gated driveway allow plenty of safe play space kids and pets to play. The single-story layout is a comfortable choice for guests of all ages, with a pathway and no steps leading to the back door, providing easy access for those with limited mobility. Happy Hollow- where memories are made!

Happy Hollow was great. Easy walk to downtown and the outdoor space/front yard was a lot of fun. Plenty of room for Corn Hole, remote control cars, frisbee, etc. Interior was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend to all.

Another relaxing week in Murphys
This was our 3rd stay at this property and we absolutely love it. The kitchen is well stocked if you plan to cook, we did the restaurant thing all week this time. Great pizza place, amazing sushi and even a Mexican food truck all within a short walk. owners are super cool to deal with and a very responsive. Already planing another visit for 2025.

We booked for three nights and were very pleased with the house, the location, and the way the home was stocked so we just had to think we needed something and it was there for our use. We only wanted to have more time to spend there. Beautiful yard.

What a great property, it's large yard with plenty of shade trees gives it a park like setting that is perfect to just relax in. It's only a block from main street and all the restaurants and wine tasting. House was clean and had everything we needed. Owners were very responsive and made every effort to ensure our stay was enjoyable. I've already booked another week towards the end of summer, can't wait!!

Great house in ideal location
Very clean and well kept house with lots of nice amenities, including fresh flowers upon arrival, snacks, coffee. The kitchen is very well equipped. Quiet location with large yard, and only 2 blocks from the center of Murphys and its restaurants & stores. We would definitely rent this house again if coming to the area.

Great Location!
We loved this house! The location is perfect - a quick walk to downtown Murphy's which has wonderful shops, wine tasting, bars and restaurants. I think the dogs had the best time - they enjoyed the nice large yard to run around in. Everything was clean and we enjoyed our stay. We stay in VRBOs often, and I think this house was the best stocked kitchen I've seen! We were there over the holidays and it was even decorated with fresh flowers and holiday decorations. Kids, dogs and parents all happy.

Lovely Property in Murphys
This is a very comfortable house with lots of room for our group to move around. The house was set with nice furniture that had some character, it felt like we were in someone's home and not a hotel, which is what we wanted. Plus it was right in town and a very short walk to Main Street. The yard and porch were a plus along with snacks and fresh flowers. Two improvements might be fresher coffee and a way to control the light outside our window (or have curtains that can block out the light). All in all, we hope to return to Happy Hollow!

The house is spacious and the kitchen is well stocked with cooking equipment, games and musical instruments. It’s a very short walk from the center of town. We were all happy with the space. Communications with the property manager was easy and efficient. The checkout process was reasonable. Would stay here again.

Had a great time at Happy Hollow and although we had big plans to explore the area we ended spending most of the time at this beautiful property. The large grass yard with all the trees made us feel like we had our own private park. We will be back for sure.

The property was very clean and cozy. Check in process was extremely simple as the door was open when we arrived. The outdoor space was wonderful, plenty for kids to do; swings and games. The pictures are deceptive as the house is quite large. There there 2 living areas and 4 sleeping areas. The house is an easy walk to the downtown which is charming. Highly recommend. Am already thinking of a return visit
