About this property

The Lily Suite at the Mansion by the Square

About this space:

The Gage/Murphy Mansion is a crown jewel from the early days of Prescott and located just 2 blocks away from Courthouse Square and Whiskey Row. Originally constructed in 1895 as the family home of business tycoon E.B. Gage, and later railroad tycoon Frank M. Murphy, this restored monument of local history has been just steps away from the heart of Prescott for over 125 years.


The space:

The entire home is 7274 sq ft with a total of 10 units spread out amongst 3 floors and a basement, each unique to one another in size, layout, and design – come back and stay at them all for a different experience each time! You will not find another gem like this in all of Prescott.

Unit 1 - “The Lily Room” is on the main floor (1st level) and is approx. 675 sq ft with 2 beds/1 bath. The space has 1 large bedroom with a king size bed and 32” TV, a living room with a 42” TV, a dining room, bathroom with a stand-up shower, and a full kitchen for your use and enjoyment. The living room has a pull-out queen size sofa bed for another sleeping space.


Guest access:

The building itself has two main entrances. One is through the front door of the home which can be accessed from the front porch on the north side of the house that faces Gurley St. The other is located through the Mansion’s side door on the West side of the building, which you can see from S Alarcon St. The side door is closer to the parking, but the main entrance is a bit more “grand” – feel free to use either.

Unit 1’s entrance is best accessed through the Mansion’s side door on the West side of the building. Enter the building through there and the door to “The Lily Suite” will be right in front of you. There’s an immediate drop off when you first enter the room so please watch your first step.


Other things to note:

Please respect and take care of the home during your stay. Much of it is original and cannot be replaced.

As much of it is original please expect some creaking floors and other noises and sights that come with a home that’s well over 100 years old. We think it adds to the appeal! But not everyone may think the same way so, just a heads up 😊.

Parking is first come first serve and is limited to 1 vehicle per unit. There is an upper level parking lot accessed via the private road immediately to the south of the building, and a smaller lower level parking lot on the same level as the building. Street parking is also available.

The location is amazing - just 2 short blocks from the square! However, like any other hotels or stays that are near a city center there may be some noise (mostly passing traffic) to deal with. The south side and lower floor rooms (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 2B) are quieter. And the ones closest to Gurley St (4, 7, 1B) are slightly noisier. Some guests notice it, others don’t, but we thought it deserved at least a mention to consider when booking.

All rooms have at least 1 portable A/C unit for those summer months when it can get a little warm. The larger units have 2 in them. There are fans in each room as well. For the winter months there is a boiler system that generates heat for the house and all rooms.

All TV’s are subscribed to Hulu Live TV which includes 75+ channels and all Hulu content. Other streaming apps are installed but depending on the service you may need to login to them using your own account info to access content. Please log out of them before leaving to prevent the use of your account by others.

All guests have access to the common areas of the home as well as the outside common areas. While you are free to explore the inside of the Mansion please be considerate of other guests that may be staying and do your best not to disturb them, including keeping noise down to a reasonable level.

There is a shared laundry room on the south side of the building. Laundry supplies are not provided but there are 2 washers and 2 dryers available for use if you provide your own.

A commercial water softener is connected to the house. Its still not advisable to drink directly from the faucet but the showers and linens should feel nice! Enjoy!

Please read the Guest book in the unit for more details on the Mansion, it’s unique history, important house rules, and other useful info.

We want you to have the most comfortable and enjoyable stay possible, so if there’s anything we can do to make your stay better please just let us know!

HAVE A GREAT STAY WE ARE THRILLED TO HAVE YOU!!

Great location, lots of space
The property was delightful. The master bedroom was huge. The bedding was super soft and the bed was comfortable. We got a good night's sleep. My husband snores, so I did end up sleeping on the futon one night - it was still very comfortable and I slept well. There are 2 in room AC units that cooled the unit well, plus big ceiling fans. It was a short 5-6 minute walk to Whiskey Row. There was adequate parking. We liked not having to get in our car the whole weekend. We did not have any noise problem, but it was a pretty quiet weekend for Prescott. We highly recommend! Host immediately responded to our text messages and we had one request they filled right away. Thank you!!

Just a couple of blocks from the square, a delightful place that combines the privacy and convenience of a hotel but the charm of a private bed and breakfast. Thanks!

Charming historical mansion!
The mansion is very unique and in a great location! We stayed in unit #1, The Lily Suite. It was very clean and cozy. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook meals. The room was very large and the bed was super comfy. The bathroom is tiny but they have a soft water system which was amazing. All towels and linens were clean and fresh. Communication with the host was very prompt. The only "problem" was that the street lights are pretty bright so the room isn't very dark at night, and it is close to the main street so there was a bit of traffic noise. Also, if you stay in unit #1, you will hear the neighbors above you walking around. I mean, it's an original building from 1895, wood floors creek and make noise. It wasn't terrible, but if you are a light sleeper, maybe consider asking for another unit on the top floor. Overall, great stay and would return!

Classic & historical
The property was beyond our expectations and everything required for our stay was available. Prescott and the Lily Suite ( mansion suite) are a jewel of Arizona and l would recommend to others that this should be there first stop when they arrive in Arizona.

Short stay
The unit waa perfect. We loved it. It was very clean and equipped and was as advertised. The quaint old fashioned charm was exactly what I was hoping for. It was within walking distance of the downtown square, perfectly located. I will rent this unit again.

Sparkling clean and great location
This is a beautiful suite. It's spacious and very clean. We were there during a winter storm and stayed cozy and warm. The whole mansion is gorgeous. Parking is easy. Walking all over town is easy from there. The host responds quickly. As others have said, there is street noise. I recommend bringing ear plugs or use a white noise app on your phone. It is a busy street. Prescott is a wonderful town to visit. We will be back and we would definitely stay here again. I would return to the mansion in a heart beat!

Magical Christmas Parade Weekend!
We had the BEST time in Prescott for the Christmas Parade and Courthouse Lighting! We were thrilled to stay so close to the square, and this was such a neat unit! We can't wait to come back next year! The host was very responsive and helpful too, and the rooms were beautiful!

Unique Property
This is a unique property with history. Pictures are as stated. The shower is the size of a cruise ship shower and all of your shampoo/soap needs to go on the floor. The location is about a 5-10 min walk to the downtown area. It was a bit louder then expected. Could hear road noise and others in the house. It was nice having a kitchen. A Keurig machine and coffee was provided. The bedroom was very lit up inside at night due to the outdoor lights on the house.. Difficult to sleep with the room lit up. Parking was onsite and nice to have so close to the house. Hulu was included on the TV and WiFi was good.

Great stay
We enjoyed our stay and loved the historic feel to the property. Our room had all the amenities we needed and location to town, restaurants, and so on was excellent. If you are looking for a quiet stay in Prescott, this may not be the property for you because of the close proximity to the street, early morning trash collection, sirens heard all night, and loud neighbors. We knew this when we decided to stay here, so we were prepared. Overall, we had a great stay.

Nice little piece of Prescott history
We were impressed by its proximity to the town center. An easy walk in a town that is amenable to walking. The tall ceilings added to the spacious feeling. BoSa bakery around the corner within easy walking distance as well. Short drive up Senator highway to Goldwater Lake. Although just off of Hwy 69, the place was nice and quiet. The light switch for the bedroom was an adventure to find; it is halfway into the room on the right wall. Perhaps a remote operated fob could be arranged and kept by or on the inside of the door? The shower worked fine and the bathroom was adequate, but If a narrow armoire could be fitted between the shower glass and the little shelves on left as you enter, then people would have a place to hang their clothes while in the shower. Or perhaps remove the little shelves and install a wider armoire which could contain cubbies along the left side to add more versatility. All in all, a good value for the accoutrements and location!

Easy Check-In and Excellent Amenities
We had a quick stay of one night, but wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the amenities. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked and the whole atmosphere was very homey. My only (very picky) recommendation is to have hooks in the bathroom for towels and toiletry bags since there is little counter space (understandable for an older home.) We also enjoyed the coffee table book that detailed the history of the house.
