Pre wedding get away

This house was perfect! LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!! I had a wonderful weekend getaway with my best friends and my daughters prior to my wedding. We had such a nice time. The rooms were nice and kitchen and bathrooms were updated. There was plenty of seating in the living room. The weather was absolutely perfect and we enjoyed spending time on the patio. Best of all, we were right in town and could walk everywhere . I would love to come back and stay here again!

Murphys Original School House - Fabulous House

The house is charming and comfortable, making it feel like a home away from home. The location is unbeatable, just a 2-minute walk to downtown Murphys. I highly recommend staying here. The owners are always responsive and pleasant to work with.

Only home to stay when visiting Murphy!

Beautiful home! It is exceptionally well constructed and very well decorated. The location is the BEST! You will love the front porch! The pictures online are good, but the home is much better than the pictures can show. I highly recommend staying at the "Old School House"!

Bride’s family

It was a perfect spring weekend for our daughter’s wedding at Vida Buena Farm in Vallecito. The house is spacious and well laid out including the rocking chairs and table/chairs on the porch. The upstairs bedroom with 2 beds is large and easily accommodated the bride’s garments and pre-wedding photo session. The location right off Main Street was a quick walk to the rehearsal reception at Hovey and the after party at Murphy’s Hotel. Definitely recommend!
