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!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff and Megan Radtke

The weekend we were engaged, we went wine tasting in Napa. Initially, we laughed at the idea of drinking wine, but quickly enjoyed the quiet moments it gave us as a couple; enjoying a glass with cheese and fruit or sipping on the patio by the fire pit. We've been married 18 years and have three children, all of whom are involved in sports so we're always on the go. Living in El Dorado County, we all feel at home in Murphys. The mild climate and terrain is similar to our own. The Murphys Community park provides a perfect opportunity to enjoy a relaxing picnic with a glass of wine while the kids can splash in the water. Together we have enjoyed many trips to the local caves, Calaveras Big Trees and wineries.

Why they chose this property

When it comes to Murphys, it was love at first sight. The small town has a relaxed atmosphere and the community works together as whole to make everyone feel welcome. The area provides everything from a park for the kids, to wine tasting for the adults. Calaveras Big Trees offers a mild walk through an awe inspiring forest, while Yosemite National Park offers rigorous hikes and rock climbing adventures. Every time we visit, we find something new to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

When we first saw the Sugar Pine house, it felt like home. The original owner had a pride of ownership for it and had maintained the home well. We enjoy the openness from the kitchen, dining and living room to bring our family together, as well as the convenient location and secluded backyard. We hope it provides the same welcoming feeling for you!
