Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Murphys

We are absolutely in love with this house! It’s the kind of place you never want to leave—and one you’ll yearn to return to. The warmth and care poured into this home are palpable, creating a welcoming, child-friendly atmosphere that instantly puts families at ease. The incredible playroom is a dream come true for kids, while the house itself is thoughtfully designed, immaculately clean, and brimming with charm. We can’t thank you enough for such a wonderful stay—we’ll definitely be back! Thank you for an amazing vacation!

Excellent stay in a clean, well-equipped home We thoroughly enjoyed our stay—the place was spotless, and the kitchen had everything we needed. One minor quibble: the coffee maker was tiny and could only brew two cups at a time, which was a bit inconvenient for our group. The location is fantastic—just about an hour’s drive to Yosemite National Park, making it an ideal base for exploring. The community was undergoing construction, and some roads were closed during our visit. We ended up waiting about 45 minutes to enter and pay the $50 entrance fee, which was frustrating. It’s worth asking the host for an update on access or checking ahead before booking.

Fantastic house in a beautiful rural setting! The house is spotless and spacious. Well-appointed kitchen and pantry. First Airbnb we’ve stayed in that actually has storage containers for leftover food! Plenty of paper products, bath supplies and towels. Comfortable sun room and covered porch for relaxing. Hosts are very responsive! The setting is beautiful - very rural. It was fun to cook at home and relax at the house. Strong WiFi. The towns of Murphys (shops, pubs, eateries) and Arnold (Big Trees State Park is beautiful!) are each a 40 minute drive. Would definitely return to this beautiful home!

Everything was great except the living room TV didn’t work. The host was responsive to it and as helpful as they could be without actually coming to the house. TV wasn’t a huge deal to us so we decided to go without it. But was happy the host was willing to help!

We had an amazing stay at Yvette's place! The house was spotless, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Yvette was also a fantastic host, always quick to respond and accommodating. We would definitely recommend their place and stay again.

Had a magical time at James’ place laat weekend. We were two families with 4 kids between us and had ample space to spread out. Great find!

We had a wonderful stay at Nellya’s place! Check-in was a breeze. Nellya proactively communicated withe helpful suggestions and reminders and was quick to respond to our inquiries if we had questions. The house was super clean and cozy- all the amenities you need. Great escape for a family! Cozy couches, beds, streaming services, games, patio/deck for relaxing and outdoor fire pit. We were close enough to the state park, lake, excellent restaurants and grocery store, etc. if we wanted to explore/go out but you really won’t want to stray too far from the house. Lots of peace and serenity (and fun!) to be had. Enjoyed breakfast on the patio table and relaxed in the massage chair upstairs- great for my recently injured lower back! We enjoyed our stay so much and plan to return. Highly recommend!

We had a great stay for our friend’s wedding weekend. Hosts were super responsive and helpful if I had a question. The yard is perfect for dogs and the location was ideal. You felt welcomed coming in to the space with the wine (although we forgot it) welcome notes and magnet board. We will be back (next time with a magnet).

Very comfortable and quiet property. We booked this property giving Kevin and Teresa only an hour’s notice. They were very pleasant and made sure everything was set for us. Kevin met us and showed us around. The apartment was very warm and cozy. We would highly recommend!!

Very affordable place to stay compared to other bnbs nearby. Not a “cabin” but still had the homey cabin feel. Kitchen and fridge were stocked a little bit. Grocery store nearby. Very easy and flexible check in. Laurie who takes care of the rental for Robert was very nice and friendly and helpful. If you have kids there is a little selection of toys and also a little selection of dvds. Walking distance to the golf course across the street. Overall a very good experience. Would 100% stay there again.

Michele’s place is exactly how it’s described - very clean, easy to find, and had all the amenities. It was a great base for our adventure in Yosemite. She is a great host and provided some amazing recommendations! Thanks for making our stay so comfortable :)

A great small space to have some me time in the woods! Not too secluded but also not too busy. It’s next to a little creek and hiking trail with fun swim spots for hot days! Hosts were super friendly and are nearby at their home down the way. The place was clean, cozy and had a welcoming feel. Would definitely stay here again!

This little house was perfect! I stayed here for the weekend because my Daughter was getting married close by. It was the perfect place to get some much needed rest after spending a couple of long days getting everything ready. Melissa was great at communicating and gave clear info on checking in and out. Definitely would stay here again!

Madison was very attentive and friendly, we were very happy with our stay and look forward to spending the holidays again with the family at her place!

We had a great stay over the weekend. The place was peaceful and it had everything we needed. The host was very responsive and gave timely instructions on the check in and check out process. Overall a good stay to just relax and be around nature!

5 stars! Had such a great weekend with friends at Little Bear! The place is beautifully designed and super cozy, exactly as described. We appreciated the nice towels and the comfy beds. It’s great that the loft has two queens, great if you are traveling with all adults. The setting was peaceful and private — perfect for a relaxing getaway. We loved the hot tub in the morning and star gazing around the fire pit at night. We also enjoyed dinner out on the deck. The location is perfect, so close to Big Trees SP and not far from Murphys, we enjoyed the Sunday Farmer’s Market and Pablito’s Taco Truck! Liset was responsive and helpful, with clear instructions for check-in, check out and local tips. We’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet retreat in nature. .

We loved staying here and would come back as soon as we could. We find many airbnbs do not live up to the quality they advertise. However, this gem is more than worth a stay. We did not leave the area all weekend because we wanted to soak up every minute. The cabin is incredibly clean, well maintained, and as shown in photos. The hosts are extremely responsive and catered to any requests we had immediately. I cannot wait to come back soon and hopefully for longer!

Had an amazing stay at Valerie’s Cabin. Traveled with my kids and husband and our stay here was amazing. The place was fully stocked with a full kitchen, baby gear, entertainment and games for children and of course the beautiful outdoors! The kids absolutely loved exploring the outdoors and going for a swim at the local pool (5 mins drive away). The cabin is not only clean but also put together with so much detail- feels just like home. I would love to return and stay at this lovely cabin again.

This cabin was everything we could have hoped for! Huge hot tub on a wraparound deck that had a fence so our dog could be outside but not free on the property. Wood burning furnace inside was a favorite feature for my husband and I. Our dog loved laying in front of the fire. 10/10 would recommend 🙂

We loved staying at Sharon’s cabin! What a beautiful location. And the private lake and playground next to it was a lovely place to relax. The cabin was also perfect for our little ones, complete with indoor toys and swings and a slide in the backyard. It was just as described and Sharon was super responsive and helpful. We’ve already talked about going back!

My best friend and I had the loveliest, most peaceful Mother’s Day weekend here. We walked to the lake and all the way around it one morning, took the 9 minute drive to Big Trees and walked the loop through the Sequoias, spent time in charming Murphys, bought lots of delicious wine and relaxed in the hot tub more than once. It was unseasonably warm and the place cooled down in the evenings. Just a perfect little cabin in a great location - we will be back!
