Murphys, California
Murphys Ranch is a welcoming, supremely comfortable ranch – style home with breathtaking views of the Sierras, large outdoor spaces and a private pool. With three bedrooms, three full bathrooms and an additional sleeper it can comfortably accommodate up to eight people.
The living room and dining room have vaulted ceilings and sliding doors that lead out onto a magnificent deck and outdoor pool, there is also an extra room to tuck in to play games or read a book. The newly updated kitchen has plenty of storage, counter space and room to spread out, it is well stocked with pots, pans and utensils so making meals there is a breeze. The dining room table seats a party of 8, outdoor dining table seats 6.
The garage will accommodate two large cars so unloading all the goodies from the local markets is easy breezy.
In the mornings we like to stroll down to the Red Apple Stand at the bottom of the driveway and pick up fresh apple doughnuts and turnovers, fresh from the oven each day but it’s only a 5-minute drive to downtown Murphys for lunch or dinner.
In the summer we lounge by the pool or take advantage of the local lakes & swimming holes, tennis courts and golf, in the fall we love to taste all the newly released wines from the local producers. In the winter we head up 30 miles to Bear Valley for downhill skiing although we hear cross-country is also wonderful around here – we just prefer to get up the hills on a lift :).
We really enjoy exploring the near-by towns, there is so much wonderful history! There is a vibrant music scene and you’ll likely be able to catch a concert at the Iron Horse Winery during your summer visit.

Our family had a great time. Totally secluded from neighbors. Pool and backyard are incredible. Highly recommend!!!!
This was for our annual Sisters Trip and we were all (4) pleased with the house. The setting is just wonderful. We would stay here again.
The property is huge and offers plenty of space. Beautiful scenery right from the deck. Will certainly make another visit in summer. We all loved our stay and the host was very responsive to all our questions.
A classic ranch home with outstanding upgraded outdoor area. The pool was a welcome amenity as the weekend we stayed was over 100 degrees each day. Close to downtown Murphys for a fun day in town eating, wine tasting and exploring. Helena was a great host and very communicative. The house can get warm, so plan accordingly and keep those fans going and enjoy the pool.
Great outdoor space, view was incredible. Property is well stocked with everything needed.
My family and I had a fantastic time in this home! The views are spectacular, and the house is comfortable and cozy. Everything was super clean, the kitchen and bathrooms were spotless, and the bed linens and towels were also clean, soft, and comfy. We spent most of our time in the kitchen/dining area cooking or playing games or on the deck around the fire pit, enjoying the fresh air. Although we would 100% recommend this house to anyone and would rent it again, there are a few things I feel I should mention. First, there is no AC, and it gets pretty warm in the house, we tried opening all of the windows, and the ceiling fans helped, but the smaller room where the kids slept was uncomfortably warm. Also, the water pressure in the bathroom in the hall was awful, and the water was a tiny trickle, making it almost impossible to rinse out long hair. One of the things we noticed right away was that many of the door knobs around the house were loose and or broken. For example, none of the bathroom doors lock, so beware of that and make sure you knock. Finally, the pool is not heated, which was a damper for everyone, especially the kids. We rented this house primarily for the pool, and although we were able to enjoy it a few times, the rest of the time, it was simply too cold. However, as I mentioned before, our overall stay was great, and we would 100% recommend this house to anyone looking for a beautiful and quiet place to get away. The views from the backyard and deck alone are worth it. It was the quiet and peaceful getaway we all needed.
It is a very beautiful property. I'm sure we'll be back!
It’s a nice place to stay. Beautiful view and relaxing. Wished the hot tub was available. Didn’t realize the third bathroom was at the other end of the home. The mattresses could be more comfy. It will also be nice when the road leading up to the house will be paved. Don’t get me wrong…a great place to stay! Very clean!
When we were unable to book a hotel in downtown Murphy's, we looked into securing a VRBO and much to our delight found this beautiful property in Forest Meadows - just a short drive to town. The house was immaculate and equipped with everything you could ever use or want! The pool was sparkling and there were numerous umbrellas for shade. We prepared breakfast two mornings and sat outside sipping our coffee on the deck and taking in the gorgeous sunrise. We also sat around the fire pit at night and enjoyed the spectacular star filled nights. It was a girls trip and couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you, Helena. Loved your home and will be back!!!
Fantastic property for a group!
