About this property

Vintage Comfort in Downtown Murphys with Hot Tub! Easy Walk to Main Street

The Cappelli House is a renovated and updated vintage home appointed with original mid-century modern furniture and decor. Refinished fir floors, porcelain and stone tile, remodeled bathrooms and redwood deck with hot tub. Located 2 blocks off Main Street, this three bedroom two bath home is ideally situated to enjoy all that Murphys has to offer: walk to restaurants, wine tasting, shopping and live music. This little town has been called the 'Carmel of the Foothills' and was named 'One of the top 10 Coolest Small Towns in America' by Frommers. Once the stomping-grounds of the likes of Mark Twain and Brett Harte, today Murphys is a well preserved and welcoming gold rush town with a laid-back atmosphere and modern amenities.

Surrounding areas offer something for everyone. Winter sports fans will enjoy the world-class downhill and cross country skiing at Bear Valley, about an hour drive east on Highway 4 from Murphys. There are several outstanding public golf courses within easy driving distance that will challenge and delight golfing enthusiasts of all skill levels. The Stanislaus National Forest offers year-round recreation opportunities including hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, horseback riding, camping, picnicking, rock climbing, low speed boating, whitewater rafting and kayaking, stream and lake fishing, skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and more, on over 250,000 acres of spectacular alpine terrain.

Calaveras Big Trees State Park features two magnificent groves of giant sequoia, as well as over six thousand acres of pine forest, campgrounds, picnic areas, and miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. Calaveras County is also blessed with some spectacular caves and caverns, all of which are open to the public and offer a variety of tour options, including Mercer Caverns, Moaning Cavern and California Cavern.

Nearby Lake New Melones provides boating, water and jet skiing opportunities. The more adventurous can try whitewater rafting on the Class IV North Fork Stanislaus River, or flatwater kayaking or canoeing on one of the many beautiful alpine lakes in the Stanislaus National Forest.
For you cyclists, there's no better way to enjoy a day in Murphys than on a bike.

Girls’ Trip

This house was the perfect spot for four friends from high school to enjoy a few days reconnecting, wine tasting, and enjoying great food. It was walking distance to everything we needed and offered a cool place to take a break from the heat. This is actually my second stay at the property, and I will definitely stay again next time I’m in Murphys.

Ladies Family Reunion

We met up in Murphy’s to celebrate family. The location is right in town, so very convenient. It’s also about 20 minutes away from white Pines lake & we had a wonderful time there. It was an extremely hot few days so we were thrilled with the excellent air conditioning! Kitchen well stocked with cooking supplies & we made all our meals at home. A great spot to return to.oh and very comfy beds!

Love the house but...

Beautiful location, roomy, backyard is lovely. however we did have a few issues that concerned us: Due to these maintenance issues we'd this house a 3.5 rating. 1. On the stove: the electric stove burner grates are badly unlevel so one couldn't use it. 2. In the small bathroom: The shower spiget's threads are stripped. Also a light over the sink is out. 3. One of the table chairs on the back deck has a broken seat. The metal edges are broken and rusted and could cause serious damage to clothing or persons.

Loved our stay in Murphy’s!

This location is magical. We loved driving to see the Big Trees, local caverns, & Columbia state park (a gold rush town that has been preserved & is a living museum). The town of Murphy’s is adorable with shops and so many vineyard tasting rooms - and in walking distance from the property. We loved cooking at the property and enjoyed the hot tub- and eating out at many fabulous Murphy’s restaurants. The owners were super kind and made suggestions of activities for a family. Ask shop owners about history of buildings. Truly a treasure of an experience for history and wine lovers.

Murphy's house close to main Street

Nice house, with large backyard and hot tub on back deck just as pictured. The beds were really comfy. Kitchen had everything needed, decent supply of cups, plates, and variety of pans. The best coffee shop located at the corner and easy walk to main Street. The property manager responded quickly with any questions.

Great location, very nicely appointed

We stayed for Christmas with four adults (including one older family member with limited mobility) and an almost two-year-old. The kitchen had everything we needed to make big multi-course meals -the pots and pans in particular were really nice quality. The playpen and high chair were very helpful. It was pretty accessible for my elderly family member who can still negotiate a few steps, although wouldn’t be wheelchair-friendly. The hot tub was great and we really appreciated the extra towels. We loved walking around the corner to the local coffee shop and just a couple more blocks to everything in Murphys. Overall we had a great time and multiple family members asked us to share the listing for next time!

Absolutely love this house!

The location of this home is beyond perfect. The beds are all so cozy and the blankets are cozy and soft. The bathrooms are amazing with good water pressure. The hot tub... BONUS! The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need. Really a great place to stay while visiting Murphy's. This was our 2nd stay and we hope for more in the future.

Perfect Getaway

My son had his fall break and I wanted to escape to nature. So with him being 11, we got to hike at big trees, went down into the caverns, and walked up and down the streets of Murphys with our little dog. The location was perfect and couldn’t have asked for a better setup for us. The hot tub was a great perk. Looking forward to going back again with my boyfriend so we can do the adult version (wineries) of this trip.

About the host

Hosted by Belinda Cappelli

Host profile image
Marco and I met in Napa in the wine industry in the late 90's. We moved to the Sierras a few years ago and Marco started making wine for Indian Rock in Murphys. We instantly fell in love with this charming town.

Why they chose this property

Marco and I love the history of the Gold Country, enjoy the great wines being produced here and the closeness of a small town community. The surrounding mountains invite hiking, skiing and exploring!

What makes this property unique

We enjoy walking and especially appreciate being able to stroll into town for great food and wine!
