Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Murphys

Excellent stay in a clean, well-equipped home We thoroughly enjoyed our stay—the place was spotless, and the kitchen had everything we needed. One minor quibble: the coffee maker was tiny and could only brew two cups at a time, which was a bit inconvenient for our group. The location is fantastic—just about an hour’s drive to Yosemite National Park, making it an ideal base for exploring. The community was undergoing construction, and some roads were closed during our visit. We ended up waiting about 45 minutes to enter and pay the $50 entrance fee, which was frustrating. It’s worth asking the host for an update on access or checking ahead before booking.

Fantastic house in a beautiful rural setting! The house is spotless and spacious. Well-appointed kitchen and pantry. First Airbnb we’ve stayed in that actually has storage containers for leftover food! Plenty of paper products, bath supplies and towels. Comfortable sun room and covered porch for relaxing. Hosts are very responsive! The setting is beautiful - very rural. It was fun to cook at home and relax at the house. Strong WiFi. The towns of Murphys (shops, pubs, eateries) and Arnold (Big Trees State Park is beautiful!) are each a 40 minute drive. Would definitely return to this beautiful home!

I was pleasantly surprised. Sometime, the photos look way better than the place but this time the photos did not do it justice. It is such a cute place!! The hot tub was great! The handouts for restaurants and things to do in Arnold and Murphy's was great. We did not use the game room but I can see that it would be fun for adults and children! I will definitely return!

Thank you for renting your house to us. I'm in love with your house. I had a great experience. Thank you for the extra time you gave us.

We had an amazing stay at Yvette's place! The house was spotless, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Yvette was also a fantastic host, always quick to respond and accommodating. We would definitely recommend their place and stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at Nellya’s place! Check-in was a breeze. Nellya proactively communicated withe helpful suggestions and reminders and was quick to respond to our inquiries if we had questions. The house was super clean and cozy- all the amenities you need. Great escape for a family! Cozy couches, beds, streaming services, games, patio/deck for relaxing and outdoor fire pit. We were close enough to the state park, lake, excellent restaurants and grocery store, etc. if we wanted to explore/go out but you really won’t want to stray too far from the house. Lots of peace and serenity (and fun!) to be had. Enjoyed breakfast on the patio table and relaxed in the massage chair upstairs- great for my recently injured lower back! We enjoyed our stay so much and plan to return. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Donna’s home. It was so beautiful and clean. Everything you may need is available and the beds were amazing! They were so comfortable and had VERY nice sheets and comforters. I even checked the brand name so I could purchase some for my own bed when I got back home 😊. Additionally, we enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings. Also, very short walking distance to downtown. We will definitely be back!!

We had a great stay for our friend’s wedding weekend. Hosts were super responsive and helpful if I had a question. The yard is perfect for dogs and the location was ideal. You felt welcomed coming in to the space with the wine (although we forgot it) welcome notes and magnet board. We will be back (next time with a magnet).

Very comfortable and quiet property. We booked this property giving Kevin and Teresa only an hour’s notice. They were very pleasant and made sure everything was set for us. Kevin met us and showed us around. The apartment was very warm and cozy. We would highly recommend!!

Very affordable place to stay compared to other bnbs nearby. Not a “cabin” but still had the homey cabin feel. Kitchen and fridge were stocked a little bit. Grocery store nearby. Very easy and flexible check in. Laurie who takes care of the rental for Robert was very nice and friendly and helpful. If you have kids there is a little selection of toys and also a little selection of dvds. Walking distance to the golf course across the street. Overall a very good experience. Would 100% stay there again.

This is a lovely space, very roomy, clean and convenient. The view from the kitchen is beautiful and it is a peaceful and relaxing place to unwind after a day of outdoor adventures. I booked it to explore Yosemite, which is about an hour and 15min or so to the entrance. It’s a beautiful drive, and there is also so much to explore in Sonora, Columbia, and Jamestown. The Gold Rush history of this area is fascinating to me, and this is a perfect basecamp for nature hikes and historical sightseeing. Michele is super helpful, responsive, and gave me excellent suggestions of things to do and even an ideal itinerary for my four days there. Highly recommend.

Can’t say enough about our weekend stay at Shaun and Holly’s! They are fabulous hosts and made sure we had everything necessary for a relaxing, fun time. They even had special treats awaiting us since it was our anniversary. Over the top in every way! We will most definitely go back to this little piece of heaven in Sutter Creek!

A great small space to have some me time in the woods! Not too secluded but also not too busy. It’s next to a little creek and hiking trail with fun swim spots for hot days! Hosts were super friendly and are nearby at their home down the way. The place was clean, cozy and had a welcoming feel. Would definitely stay here again!

This little house was perfect! I stayed here for the weekend because my Daughter was getting married close by. It was the perfect place to get some much needed rest after spending a couple of long days getting everything ready. Melissa was great at communicating and gave clear info on checking in and out. Definitely would stay here again!

Madison was very attentive and friendly, we were very happy with our stay and look forward to spending the holidays again with the family at her place!

The house was great and I'd recommend it to people looking for a jumping off point for Yosemite. Super comfy beds, great deck, enjoyable hot tub, beautiful location. Lots to love and we had a great time. A note for potential guests: The community (the Pine Mountain Lake Association) that the house is located within is currently experiencing heavy road work from 4/30/25-7/2/25. We had to wait 20+ mins to get into the neighborhood each time we came back, which was annoying to say the least. Not the fault of the airbnb host, but just FYI on expectations.

Great cabin in a beautiful location. Highly recommend.

5 stars! Had such a great weekend with friends at Little Bear! The place is beautifully designed and super cozy, exactly as described. We appreciated the nice towels and the comfy beds. It’s great that the loft has two queens, great if you are traveling with all adults. The setting was peaceful and private — perfect for a relaxing getaway. We loved the hot tub in the morning and star gazing around the fire pit at night. We also enjoyed dinner out on the deck. The location is perfect, so close to Big Trees SP and not far from Murphys, we enjoyed the Sunday Farmer’s Market and Pablito’s Taco Truck! Liset was responsive and helpful, with clear instructions for check-in, check out and local tips. We’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet retreat in nature. .

The Brodie Cabin was a wonderful getaway for me and my family, with a peaceful neighborhood and gorgeous scenery. The place offered plenty of amenities, which made us feel right at home. Instructions were clear, and our host was very responsive and polite to our questions. Our stay exceeded our expectations, and we hope to return here sometime in the future!

We had such a great time staying at this cabin in Mi-Wuk Village! It was super cozy and clean, and the location was perfect—right in the middle of the trees, so it felt really peaceful and relaxing. The hosts were really nice and helpful, and everything was easy to find and use. The cabin had everything we needed comfy beds, a full kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, and a fireplace that made the place feel extra homey. We loved sitting out on the deck in the morning with our coffee, just listening to nature. It’s also really close to Pinecrest Lake and some great hiking spots, which was perfect for us. Definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a chill getaway in the mountains. We already want to come back!

We had an excellent stay at the Tranquil Cabin. Jenny and Matt provided excellent instructions and responded quickly to our questions. The cabin and amenities were as described. We enjoyed exploring the nearby attractions during the day and relaxing in the evening at the cabin. Kids loved the cabin, especially the rooms and smores each night. Minimum complaining from the kids equals a win! Thank you Jenny and Matt!!

My best friend and I had the loveliest, most peaceful Mother’s Day weekend here. We walked to the lake and all the way around it one morning, took the 9 minute drive to Big Trees and walked the loop through the Sequoias, spent time in charming Murphys, bought lots of delicious wine and relaxed in the hot tub more than once. It was unseasonably warm and the place cooled down in the evenings. Just a perfect little cabin in a great location - we will be back!
