Fantastic Hideaway Retreat

This property is a gorgeous house tucked away in the middle of the woods. It is mid-way between Murphys and Arnold, so a short drive to either. The house has a large open-area kitchen/dining room/living room with a back deck and a hiking trail within walking distance. The owner is very responsive and conscientious.

Host was great

In terms of the ammenities, the house was really lovely and very high quality. The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, pans, etc. for any kind of cooking. The wifi was also good. There was an unusually severe snow storm during our stay and Simon (the host) was really attentive to us. He contacted us to check on what kind of car we had, whether we had chains, kept us up-to-date on local conditions, and texted us frequently to make sure everything was okay. We are not used to snow conditions, and so we really appreciated it.

Amazing place, amazing host

Simon and his home were wonderful. If you’re looking for a secluded space for a few days you won’t go wrong. The home is situated between two small towns with a lot of wineries and restaurants. Simon was great too! Very communicative and friendly. Bare in mind that there is no service.

a true gem

We have been renting up and down from Murphys to Arnold, and this house is by far our best find. It has all the musts, including an AC, a fantastic patio and a lot of space. We liked privacy, serenity, the space and the closeness to a nearby hike with breathtaking views. The host is awesome and attentive to details. I would rent again. Thank you Simon!
