Little Yellow Cottage

The Little Yellow Cottage boasts a prime location near the center of historic downtown, adjacent to the town park and creek. This notable property holds the distinction of being the first vacation rental in Murphys and has remained a favorite among guests for over 20 years.

Guests can enjoy sipping tea on the front porch while admiring the flower garden, or dining in the privacy of the backyard, which is secured by a high fence and ideal for dogs. The backyard garden has been recently redesigned to enhance guest enjoyment, featuring a wood fire pit with Adirondack chairs and a gazebo for outdoor dining, making it a welcoming retreat for both humans and their canine companions.

A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.
