William is a great host. We love his place and will be back again. Through the complications of weather-related power outages, he provided constant updates. Once things were accessible we enjoyed our stay very much. Do pay attention to his comment about cell coverage. Because power and cable/internet cables are all above-ground, you can lose internet if the power lines take a hit. We were able to access Verizon reasonably well and I brought a Starlink mini as backup which worked well for streaming shows.

Great communication with host. Enjoyed the location and the amenities. The place is small but perfect for a couple or small family. Loved the deck and the kitchen/living room open space. Our dog had a great time as well. Having a smart tv and games were a plus for us. We had one issue with the furnace leaking gas and not working but the host was on it and walked me through everything to use the ac/heater unit in the living room and that worked fine for us since we didn’t use the back bedroom.

The location was fantastic! And, we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the grocery store and restaurants within 5-10 min. of the cottage. While it was quiet and comfortable for 2, if we had had our family, there was not really a place for people to sit inside and play board games or chat (although the island did have a pull-out). Communication with the owner was great; but, unless I missed something, we were required to either put down a very steep deposit or purchase insurance, neither of which were good options for us. Overall, while simple, it met all our needs!

The cottage was very well stocked, spacious and neat. Very nice and clean kitchen and appliances. The host was very responsive regarding a minor problem we had with the heat which was taken care of almost immediately and a few other questions we had prior to arrival. Beautiful wrap around deck with chairs and a grill. The only detractors were that the nearby cottages were a little closer than we anticipated (and I'm not complaining that it was presented as such) and there was an attached smaller cottage - although we were there much off-season if it weren't it might have felt lacking in privacy. Also there were a few cobwebby corners and dusty lightbulbs. Although aside from that the place was very clean. I wish the fact that the master bedroom has a "sleep number bed" was mentioned as we didn't notice the remote til the day we left and it would have been appreciated! All in all it was a wonderful stay although too short. We loved going to some of the nearby state parks to see the Sequoias and more, and we loved nearby Murphys and little Arnold as well. We even had the enchanting experience of seeing a curious mama brown bear and her 2 cubs alongside a back road. Wish we didn't live in the other side of the country and could more easily come back!

Murphy's Cottage was clean, inviting, and a perfect location to get to the grocery store, restaurants, and White Pines Lake. The kitchen had all of the amenities you need, the new AC unit in the living area was perfect at cooling down the place quickly, and the bedrooms were comfortable. We would definitely stay again when in Arnold!

Murphy’s Cottage was perfect for our relaxing getaway! The house was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed the large shaded deck and grill for dining outdoors. Kitchen was well stocked with what we needed. We were especially happy to have our dog with us. Arnold has a lot to offer, and is very dog friendly. Communication with the owner was easy. He was quick to respond to questions. We look forward to returning to this idyllic spot in the future.
