The "Hummingbird" Cottage

We had a wonderful two-day stay at this property. It was perfectly appointed with everything we needed. We enjoyed cooking and dining on the deck in the evening and sipping our coffee there in the morning. The seclusion of the property allows for a peaceful stay. We were constantly watching the numerous birds around us - especially the humming birds! We only wished we had booked another night because it was hard to leave.

Peaceful Tree House

Imagine staying in a treehouse, that's how you'll feel in this wonderful abode perfectly appointed for two. The details of this little hideaway are beautifully curated for comfort. We were there during the first rain of the season and thoroughly enjoyed watching it pour down on the pine and oak trees through picture windows in every room. While the property itself is very private, it is located in a charming neighborhood. If you are the walking type, it is an easy two mile walk into town. It was magical staying there. We can't wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Renee and Paul Stearns

We've been coming to Murphys as a get away for over 15 years. We love all the diverse activities that Calaveras County has to offer. We have always dreamed of having a place of our own in Murphys and have looked at properties in the area for over 10 years. We always prefer to stay in vacation rentals because it allows us to see different areas and different neighborhoods. We first rented this property in 2014 and immediately fell in love with the beautifully decorated cottage, the amazing view and the perfect combination of being away from it all but close to downtown. We were lucky enough to purchase it furnished in 2020. The previous owner, an interior designer, designed and decorated the cottage to be well appointed, comfortable and full of color.
As the new owners we will not be changing a thing! We invite those of you who previously stayed on this property to join us once again. We are happy to continue to share this unique and beautiful property with other travelers.
