We had a wonderful stay at the Hillbilly Hideaway. The place was modern and well appointed, it was also very clean. The bed was only queen size but it was extremely comfortable, and we slept well both nights we were there. There was an air conditioner and fans. My wife loved the shower and how nicely it was designed. The place is a very short walk to downtown and the Murphy Hotel. Our host was friendly and accommodating. We would stay here again if we came back to stay in Murphy’s. Thanks!

Great place in an ideal location!

This is the perfect spot for a couple. It’s in walking distance to Main St. in Murphy’s and is detached from the main home, so feels very private. Extremely clean, comfortable and very well-appointed. The hosts were also super responsive and accommodating. We’d definitely book again.

Enjoyed the Fall colors!

Short road trip to hike and enjoy the Fall colors and cooler temps! Murphys and other old gold rush towns within a short drive made it a very interesting and enjoyable stay. Great food and beer options within easy walking distance.

Fun fall getaway

Great stay in an adorable and super clean one bedroom hideaway. Great location. Less than 5 minute walk to downtown. Comfortable sleep, great style in the decor. The owners were very accommodating and have made a wonderful little oasis for a great couples getaway to Murphys. Would totally recommend to our friends and return again.

Giving it five, but

It was really wonderful great place to stay. Our host were wonderful. Very clean and nice but the last night there my husband, I just want to relax before going home. The TV would not work properly. It would come on for about three minutes and then go to maintenance on and off on and off that was a little tough And I know it’s probably something that can be very easily fixed also which we didn’t need it the fan over the bed wouldn’t work. I don’t know if the remote needed batteries that we had the light switch on just a little thing but I’m still getting a five stars because it was very nice. It’s very close to downtown which was great.

Murphys Getaway

This cute little cottage is perfect for a couples getaway. We were able to walk down to Main Street in Murphys and was just a short drive up Highway 4 to enjoy the snow. The Hillbilly Hideaway was clean, had easy access coming and going, and the bed was absolutely amazing! It was nicely redone and plenty of room for 2.Thanks for sharing this special place with us!

Nice and well done

Great location….from the listing we did not know it was a garage conversion and owners living on property so close. The place had great finishes, very well decorated, comfy bed and very clean! Not very private and during the day their dog barked continuously. Overall it was a good experience and we really enjoyed the town and surrounding area!!!

Perfect spot for out Murphys weekend!

Overall excellent stay and would book again! It fit our needs perfectly! The location is excellent and we took advantage of walking to most places we went. It was tidy and clean when we arrived and had all the comforts you might expect. We came to town for a wedding and needed to hang some formal clothing and while there isn't a dresser or closet in the space, they quickly provided several hangers upon request. AC + fans worked great and the shower was nice. Lovely town, lovely space, lovely hosts only suggestion would be a full length mirror.

The Cutest Hideaway!

We came into town to attend a concert at Ironstone amphitheater. We randomly chose this property, and we were not disappointed! It is conveniently, located a quick walk from lots of shops, food, and wine tasting. It is super super cute with plenty of space for two people. We didn’t need to utilize the kitchen, but it was nice to have the option if we needed it. It’s decorated adorably, the bed was comfortable, and the owners were kind. We were a little worried that it was somebody’s side house, but ultimately it was just like having our own space and wasn’t a problem at all. Would definitely stay again! We ate dinner at El Jardin near by and it was delicious!

Charming getaway

The Hillbilly Hideaway is a lovely spot for a couple get-away in Murphy's. Breanna and Adam created a charming, cottage-like atmosphere- from the nice decor to the plush towels. Very quiet street and easy walking distance to town. Be mindful if you have a sensitive sense of smell......I don't but my husband does and he could smell gasoline/oil as the room was converted from the garage. We opened the windows and it aired out nicely. Overall we loved our stay and I am sure you will too!
