We rented Alta Vista for a long girls weekend. The house and property are breathtaking. Highlights were the kitchen, game room, comfortable beds, views and quite frankly all of it. I highly recommend this property and would give it 10 stars. Love, love, loved this place!
We had a wonderful time at Alta Vista. The property was spacious and had tons of games and activities on site for family to enjoy. The kitchen is awesome, easy to cook for groups and the view from the deck is to die for. Can’t wait to stay here again.
We had an absolutely amazing time. The home was beautiful and everything we could have hoped for. Thank you so much!
This is a beautiful home that really takes care to ensure you have everything you need available at your fingertips. From all the convenient labels in the kitchen so that you can quickly find what you need to all the extra linens (and beach towels) and amenities (tons of DVDs and boardgames and a game room - we could’ve spent the whole week inside). It was really an incredibly comfortable and enjoyable stay.

A broken chair, no notes for the slot machine, a broken vertical blind, very vague instructions for a complex thermostat.

We did not spend a lot of time there, but it was great for sleeping, meals and enjoying the view. The jacuzzis and the sauna worked well. There were plenty of towels. The children enjoyed the game room and the video games. The slot machine was fun for the children until it ran out of paper. The water dispenser in the refrigerator had a light and warning sound that it needed to be replaced. The fence around the deck could use replacing. Follow the directions to the home on the sheet that is sent to you and you will find it easily.

Everything is kept clean and in order. Will definitely go again this summer
Breathtaking views. Superior property. Didn’t even think about whether there would be TP, PT’s, trash bags, shampoo, soap, dish washer detergent, etc until we left Sacramento Airport at 9:00pm. Not to fear……all the necessary essentials were there for our use upon arrival after all the stores had closed. I lost my youngest son almost two years ago to liver failure. He had spent two years on 72 acres we bought off Sheep’s Ranch Road during 2018 & 2019. I took my other two sons and my son-in-law for a guys trip to visit the property (we had never seen it previously). We spread some of his ashes, quite a few tears, and enjoyed an emotional visit to Murphys! You won’t regret a stay at this beautiful property. Similar drives to Murphys and Arnold. My wife read somewhere that Murphys is the new “mini Napa”.
We celebrated a 50th birthday and this home was great.
What a lovely place --- roomy enough for our group of 9 and lots of comfort/amenities. Great kitchen, surrounding decks and amazing views. Love that it's close to Murphys but tucked away nicely so it feels very private and quiet. Great hosts!
It was as good as advertised! Very spacious and the rooms were clean. More than what we expected.
Amazing house and location! Very specious, I recommend it. Communication with Sheila was easy and fast.
We had a fantastic time at Alta Vista Lifting Spirits! The property is beautiful, just as advertised. Hoping this is the first of many stays here.
We had a wonderful time staying here. The home was clean, beautiful and the views were amazing! We had a family gathering to celebrate a milestone 80th birthday. His wish was to have everyone under one roof and this house was perfection. The downstairs with the game room and sleeping area was a hit with all the ages but especially the teens. Highly recommend.
We stayed at this cabin with my family and both set of grandparents. We all loved it. Walking in the place exceeded expectations even from the already gorgeous photos. Situated on a scenic hilltop the views of the surrounding hills were stunning. The home is spacious and the back wrap around patio with fire pit was fantastic. We enjoyed sitting by the fire after dinner, sharing stories and seeing all the stars in the night sky. The lower level and room with the bunk and pull out beds was perfect for our kids. They loved the game room and my son learned how to play pool. The home is just a short drive to town and we enjoyed exploring downtown Murphys and Mercer Caverns. Everyone commented on how great the house was and we took lots of beautiful sunset photos. My mom has been battling cancer and she said this was the most fun weekend she has had in a long time. Thank you for sharing this amazing place. We would love to come back someday.
