This place is amazing!! Close enough to Murphy’s Main St. we were able to ride our e-bikes to and from town, far enough out of town, you feel like you are secluded all alone on the top of a mountain!! Beautiful view, comfortable accommodation, with a fully stocked kitchen. Hosts were lovely to work with and shared valuable information of recommendations for first time visitors. Thank you for this wonderful experience, we will be back!!

Lucky to have snagged this beautiful property for a last minute long weekend away. The cottage was clean, well-appointed, comfortable, perfectly sized for two, and wonderfully located for exploring things closer in Murphys and father up and down the road (caverns, big trees, wineries, Sonora, etc). The property and views are stunning. We appreciated the easy communication and check-in, and welcoming friendliness from everyone we met in the area. Would be thrilled to return.

Such an amazing weekend. The cabin is perfect. The view is stunning. The deck at night is a view to behold. The air conditioning was phenomenal (it was over 100 each day we were there). Secluded, private, and a fantastic getaway spot. Already talking about our next trip back.

We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the cabin. It is equipped with an ample supply of anything you need (I know to pack less next time) Star gazing was amazing. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Cozy Cottage

Quiet and secluded with wonderful accommodations. Beautifully decorated inside and a super comfy bed also. Because the cottage sits up on a hill, the views from the deck and surrounding acreage are really lovely. Very peaceful place.

Great little place!

Lovely little cottage. It was perfect for our wine tasting weekend. Close to town but quiet and remote! Watching the meteor shower on the deck was a highlight!

Staying at Sophisticated Gold Country Cottage (4th July 2026) made our trip to Timber Trail Campground very convenient. It was only about a 15-minute drive, making it easy to visit our family who were staying there. The local area has gas stations, grocery stores, and other amenities nearby.The only downside was that there wasn't a laundry room. Otherwise, the place was comfortable and enjoyable. One of our favorite features was the balcony, where hummingbirds frequently visited while we sipped our coffee in the morning or enjoyed a late-night drink. It was a peaceful and relaxing way to start and end each day.

The house location and setup is fantastic, giving you the privacy and quietness that I was seeking but yet close enough to downtown Murphys to enjoy the towns food and wine scene. Beautiful house all around and wonderful deck and vista!Note - had troubles with the wi-fi connection not matching house password nor that provided later by owner. If planning to do some important work you may want to check in advance about the correct wi-fi password...
