Perfect location to Murphys and Angels Camp. Other than the bedrooms not being air conditioned it was great. Rooms a little warm on a hot summer day.. the rest of the house nice and cool.

The enclosed backyard was wonderful for the dogs. The house was clean and close to many activities. The only downside was no WI FI. Great for the price. Had a great time.

Great place with everything we needed. Very close to downtown Murphy's and an hour from Bear Valley. AC kept the main areas cool during a heat wave. I did not realize the house does not have Wi-Fi, but that was my own oversight and not the fault of the owner. Owner was prompt and courteous in replying. Yard had plenty of space for our small dog to explore. Neighborhood was quiet and calm. Would stay again if we were visiting the area.

Really nice stay for our family of 6. The house had everything we needed. The kitchen was well-stocked and hosts were easy to get ahold of. We loved that we could bring our dog with us. It was nice to have fun games and also DVDs available. Close to lots of fun areas. Beds were comfortable.

This was our second time staying at The Decanted Chateau. We love being so close to town and the local wineries. The home has everything we need to be comfortable. We sleep so well on the big cozy bed. Our dog loves the big lawn in the backyard. Thank you Jeff & Megan for hosting us again! We will be back soon!

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!

Kind and thoughtful hosts

I absolutely loves our stay at this home, it has everything you need. The owners were so kind with my request for changes and updates giving the snow storm they accommodated my stay to the next weekend it was really wonderful I will think always use them whenever I have to stay in this area.

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!

Cozy get a way

Our stay here was great. We needed a mini getaway and wanted to introduce our daughter to the snow. We were able to stay here, with our dog as well. It was about a 30 min drive to the snow, and exactly what we were looking for. The home was very child friendly, even for our busy little 1+ year old. Thank you for opening your home to us.

So glad you enjoyed your stay! Our three children are one of the reasons we bought our Murphy’s home; we love the area and wanted them to experience everything we’ve been able to enjoy there. Glad you were able to have a getaway during these crazy Covid times. Cheers to good health!

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.

Thank you for your review. We’re in the process of investigating internet options again. Unfortunately with Murphys in such a rural area, we have yet to find an internet company with a solid connection for our neighborhood. So we’re hoping this search will prove to be “the one”.

Enjoyed our stay at the Decanted Chateau!

This house was perfect for our party of 3 people and 2 large dogs. The well equipped kitchen and outdoor gas grill made it easy to prepare and enjoy most meals right here during our 5 night stay. This was especially relaxing after spending the better part of the day waterskiing on nearby Lake New Melones. We also managed to squeeze in a little wine tasting at the nearby wineries and strolled Main Street in Murphy's a couple evenings while enjoying some delicious ice cream from JoMa's Artisan Ice Cream - all within a few minutes drive of the Decanted Chateau. Additionally, the owners were very responsive and accommodating.
