Just the Ticket

We were in Murphys to attend a wedding. We were five adults and an infant.

The house is charming, clean and oh so comfortable. Two bedrooms and a full bath at one of the house with an additional bedroom and 3/4 bath at the other end. The third bedroom has a small walk in closet that fits the pack-n-play perfectly. Our little one had his own little spot to crash in!

The house is a delightful 1960's ranch with updates that play into the period. The large deck and yard in the back make a perfect spot to chill out and relax. The patio in the front is an intimate place to have a morning cup of coffee of a glass of wine in the evening.

Because of our schedule we only cooked a couple of meals at the house. However, the basics are all in place to meet the needs of a simple menu.

The attention to detail in this house will welcome you in and reluctantly let you go. But go, you must as it is just a block to Main Street where the heart of Murphys beats; great restaurants, coffee shops, wine tasting and retailers will keep you busy and oh so content.

This house fit our needs perfectly. Our special thanks to Belinda and Cherie for all their care and attention.

A Special Family Event

Belinda,
I wanted to take a moment to let you know just how much we enjoyed our stay at the Cappelli House in Murphy’s. What a beautifully updated home. The home’s layout is great and it’s 3 gorgeously decorated rooms coupled with the nicely equipped and stocked kitchen, large dining room and table and expansive back deck accommodated the 6 of us perfectly. I’m an ultra-frequent business traveler, and as such, I feel that the three most important things to a good night’s rest while away from home are the mattress, pillows and linens. Your place scored a perfect 10 on all three. It’s the little things which are often overlooked with most rentals… simply not the case with the Cappelli Hose. What an awesome little slice of perfection. The flat screen TV in the front room made watching ‘Union Rags’ win the Belmont Stakes this June both fun and comfortable. Great choices with the furnishing too… just perfect. My guests were impressed as was I with the newly remodeled bathrooms. Avant-Garde is how I’d describe the two beautiful bathrooms.

As you suggested, we took the short walk into town each morning to take in breakfast and each evening for cocktails at the Murphy’s Hotel… being just 2 blocks from Murphy’s historic downtown center, the Cappelli home makes enjoying the festive and lively town easy. And we took the short drive to Ironstone Winery and the caverns. A good time was indeed had by all.

I’ve sent a similar letter today along with the $50 check we discussed to cover the additional schedule of costs for bringing my black Labrador. Bella goes just about everywhere with me and she enjoyed the large lawn in the back. Thanks again for everything Belinda.

Regards,

Bobby

We are Murphys residents, but our home is a little too cozy when it is time to entertain out-of-town guests. So, we began our search for a vacation rental that would be close to town and comfortable for a group of six. Immediately the Cappelli house offered to us everything we were seeking... proximity to town, outdoor and indoor entertaining spaces, and all-around great comfort. We really appreciated the high-end cookware as we enjoyed many home cooked meals. The home has a wonderful retro vibe to it, and the grounds are lovely and private. A shout out to the cleaning staff... we could not have been happier. We'll be back. Thank you owners.

Unparalleled Awesomeness in Murphys

We have stayed at so many vrbo homes. We were so impresessed with the attention to detail, fine remodling and painting work, as well as how very clean your home is. We enjoyed cooking brunch and eating in the dinning room while listening to classical music from the entertainment systems. Appetizers and wine were perfect, on the deck, after a beautiful day at the Concourse D'Elegance at Ironstone . Beds and linens were super comfortable.

I highly recommend a stay!

Retro and Beautiful

I felt right at home, away from the hustle and bustle of the city life. There is comfort and cleanliness throughout this home.It is a block away from the main street tucked away in a quite corner of Murphy's town. I really enjoyed cooking dinner, sitting on their patio and enjoying myself a meal, while the sunset in the distance, with a bottle of wine from the local vineyards. Peaceful and quietness was exactly what I was looking for and I found it at the Cappelli's house. Plus, they are so hospitable and directions written, were very clear. I am thinking of visiting Murphy's again soon and I know exactly where I will be staying. :)

Absolutely adorable cottage.

Very comfortable, absolutely adorable cottage with excellent outdoor and indoor space. Beautiful and interesting retro decor. Close enough to walk to town if willing to. Murphys is a fun place. We will definitely stay at this same place when we return if it is available. We stayed in a house rather than a hotel because we were attending a family reunion and my grand dog was going to be with us. Pet friendly hotels are not that available in Murphys. The yard and house were perfect for my grand dog. Loved it.

We came to Murphy's for a girls weekend. We had an amazing time. The location is perfect. The house was in spectacular condition. Everything was very cozy and well put together. Can't wait until we can return again with our families to enjoy everything this adorable home has to offer.

My family (wife and two kids under 4) and I had a great time at your home. It was clean, convenient, and very close proximity to the town shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend this house to any small family wanting to spend a weekend in Gold Country.
