Murphys Vacation Rentals offers seven charming cottages (five of them dog-friendly) for visiting the Gold Country.
This charming town is a favorite because of the well-preserved Main Street with its historic buildings and more than a dozen wine-tasting rooms, most of them dog-friendly.
Besides tasting rooms, downtown is home to numerous restaurants ranging from casual to fine dining, plus art galleries and boutiques.
Many wineries with dog-friendly tasting rooms are situated within a few miles, while national forest lands beckon with endless hiking (and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in winter) opportunities.
