Great location for visiting nearby places for hikes etc. Just wish they had internet, would have made it 5 stars. The connection to xfinity mostly doesn't work (there is no actual connectivity on the broadcasted signal which only reaches some areas). Nice selection of DVDs.

2nd time
We stayed here a few years ago, so my review will be similar. The house is about 10 minutes from Angels Camp, and like 15 to New Melones. The house is comfortable and clean. The beds are very comfortable as well! Lots of movies (DVDs under the tv in the living room). The TV in the master does not (that we could find) have a remote so that's a bit of a bummer. You can park a boat in the driveway, if you unhook it from your truck & there is a place in the garage to charge your battery (outlet and run your own cord out the door). The 2nd night we stayed hooked to the truck and parked in front of the house. The neighborhood is.... well in my opinion less than charming. But if you're looking for a place to sleep after a long day fishing, this is it!! It's worth the little drive. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip up that way.

Comfortable landing spot
The home was clean, comfortable and centrally located for us to head out on day trips, stop for wine tasting, or head into Murphys for a meal. Bringing our dog with us is important and the house was very dog friendly and had a large fully fenced yard. We would happily stay here again!

Childhood memory
Its a small, old house in a fairly dense neighborhood just off a highway. We were comfortable staying there. However, Im not sure how often the power goes off but it did while we were there. After searching just about everywhere we did find a flashlight but the batteries were dead. Luckily, the power came back on after an hour or so. Maybe having more that one flashlight with fresh batteries would be a good idea.

Not a good value for the rental cost
Overall look of house not welcoming, the house and furniture smelled musty, I had to wash the bed sheets and bed cover the first night because of the musty and cigarette smoke smell, didn't have enough bathroom tissue. Suggest you provide directions how to use the dish and DVD remote. A little extra effort to make the place inside and out look nicer could help you with increasing the rental. Oh, the wall A/C unit didn't work. On the positive side, the rental was close to a lot of attractions, was quiet and the kitchen had a lot of utensils.

The house was definitely more than I bargained for! We brought our dogs and they absolutely looooved the yard! It was huge and completely fenced so they got to play and run around. The house is very accommodating in size and location. Thank you for a great trip to Murphy's!

Disappointed
I could tell from the photos that the house was dated and the reviews mentioned that the neighborhood was not well lit and older-/ I was OK with that. However, when we arrived the front yard was overtaken with weeds, there were no steps into the front door, it was one huge step up. The backyard, which was great for our dogs but not for sitting out in the patio table/barbecue area that was listed. It too was overcome with weeds and the table and patio area was a mess—not inviting. The inside as mentioned was dated and looked as though it had not been dusted for a very long time. The hanging chandeliers, above the sink knickknacks were thick with dust and the TV Consol you could write your name on it. The carpet is tired and could be replaced. The oven was not clean the bottom looked as if someone had spilled and it had been baked over. The queen bed mattress sagged in the middle and we rolled towards the center, the king mattress was just OK. They did have games, which was a plus, however the chairs at the kitchen table were very uncomfortable. One positive the bathroom was newly remodeled, but still was not completed—Molding was missing around the doors and no baseboard. There were four towels but, no washcloths and only two hand towels for four adults. The rest of the neighborhood pretty much looks like this house and front yard; so I guess there’s no reason to do any yardwork? Bottom line it’s very unfortunate that the owners or the property managers can ask the amount for this particular VRBO, and actually have a cleaning deposit, that whoever is doing their cleaning is doing a horrible job. This house really has a lot of potential and the fact that it is so close to Murphy’s is a plus for this property. We made the best of it. Note: the homeowners did work with me to reschedule our dates.

weekend getaway with friends
We enjoyed the property. Recommended improvements: Please provide a sponge in order to properly wash the dishes (we purchased one and left it for the next tenants). Also, paper towels for the kitchen would be a big plus; as well as coffee filters for the coffee maker. (the filter basket allows a LOT of grounds into the pot). There was no propane in the propane BBQ. (But there was a 2nd BBQ and a bag of briquettes which worked OK). The king bed was quite comfortable. Not so much the queen bed. It is getting a little tired/saggy. Great back yard for the dogs! Bathroom remodel is VERY nice; especially the shower. FYI: need to jiggle the toilet handle to keep the toilet from "running on". Overall it was a great value.
