Great spot for a Murphys getaway!

We enjoyed our stay at the Decanted Chateau. The home is very clean and comfortable. We lucked out and had really nice weather in December. So we were able to enjoy some sun in the nice backyard. The neighborhood is very quiet and. We enjoyed being so close to Murphys, but away from the traffic and crowds. Thank you Jeff & Megan!

If the backyard was taken care of and there was a working coffee pot, and a top freezer that did not pop open when you closed the refrigerator or walked by or a air conditioner that was spouting maybe a past its prime filter debris or a mound of dead flies I would be giving this home a 4 star.

Good Location, no wifi

Great location for visiting nearby places for hikes etc. Just wish they had internet, would have made it 5 stars. The connection to xfinity mostly doesn't work (there is no actual connectivity on the broadcasted signal which only reaches some areas). Nice selection of DVDs.

2nd time

We stayed here a few years ago, so my review will be similar. The house is about 10 minutes from Angels Camp, and like 15 to New Melones. The house is comfortable and clean. The beds are very comfortable as well! Lots of movies (DVDs under the tv in the living room). The TV in the master does not (that we could find) have a remote so that's a bit of a bummer. You can park a boat in the driveway, if you unhook it from your truck & there is a place in the garage to charge your battery (outlet and run your own cord out the door). The 2nd night we stayed hooked to the truck and parked in front of the house. The neighborhood is.... well in my opinion less than charming. But if you're looking for a place to sleep after a long day fishing, this is it!! It's worth the little drive. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip up that way.

Comfortable landing spot

The home was clean, comfortable and centrally located for us to head out on day trips, stop for wine tasting, or head into Murphys for a meal. Bringing our dog with us is important and the house was very dog friendly and had a large fully fenced yard. We would happily stay here again!

Childhood memory

Its a small, old house in a fairly dense neighborhood just off a highway. We were comfortable staying there. However, Im not sure how often the power goes off but it did while we were there. After searching just about everywhere we did find a flashlight but the batteries were dead. Luckily, the power came back on after an hour or so. Maybe having more that one flashlight with fresh batteries would be a good idea.

Not a good value for the rental cost

Overall look of house not welcoming, the house and furniture smelled musty, I had to wash the bed sheets and bed cover the first night because of the musty and cigarette smoke smell, didn't have enough bathroom tissue. Suggest you provide directions how to use the dish and DVD remote. A little extra effort to make the place inside and out look nicer could help you with increasing the rental. Oh, the wall A/C unit didn't work. On the positive side, the rental was close to a lot of attractions, was quiet and the kitchen had a lot of utensils.
