Murphy's Cottage was clean, inviting, and a perfect location to get to the grocery store, restaurants, and White Pines Lake. The kitchen had all of the amenities you need, the new AC unit in the living area was perfect at cooling down the place quickly, and the bedrooms were comfortable. We would definitely stay again when in Arnold!

Easy spot

Low key, simple lodgings. Worked well for my son and me as a base for heading up to Bear valley. Close to highway and food, but quiet.

Murphy’s Cottage was perfect for our relaxing getaway! The house was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed the large shaded deck and grill for dining outdoors. Kitchen was well stocked with what we needed. We were especially happy to have our dog with us. Arnold has a lot to offer, and is very dog friendly. Communication with the owner was easy. He was quick to respond to questions. We look forward to returning to this idyllic spot in the future.

A break from the Bay Area

We came up to Arnold for a little getaway from the Bay Area and we had an amazing time. Murphys cottage was very clean, spacious and the location was perfect. I loved the covered porch and the rocking chair. It was a lovely spot to curl up with a book. The kitchen island table was expandable and perfect for our game nights. We couldn’t have asked for better accommodations.
