Store your belongings in the dresser, closet, and on the provided luggage rack. You’ll love the convenience of the ensuite bathroom with double-sink vanity, tub/shower combo, and all bathroom essentials, such as hair dryer, towels, and toiletries.

You’ll find the Queen Bedroom on the main level with its queen bed, sumptuous linens, and bedside table. You’ll have a dresser, closet, and luggage rack for storage.

Murphy home comfortable and pleasant
The house was comfortable and roomy. Conveniently located to shopping even though it is in a quite, up land neighborhood. We would have liked to have some more living room lighting, mixing bowls, a cookie sheet, pitcher, better knives, platter, and some food storage containers. We got by well, but think the house would be perfect with these items.

Great location and lots of room
This rental was just right for my two week stay in Murphy. The house is just minutes from downtown and close to the highway. The property has a nice yard and was very clean, communication with the owner was seamless and there were no issues during our stay.
