It was absolutely gorgeous and I absolutely loved the little map on the wall it was so very helpful in finding some places. It was also wonderful how many games and other items were offered at the property that were so helpful when we forgot things like chairs and extensions cords. Everyone in my group had an amazing time and we would definitely stay again in the future!

Everything was great! It took a while to figure out where everything was, but it felt very cozy, and comfortable. If you like specific spices in your cooking, bring them, there are spices, but limited selection. The paddle boards and kayaks are a great addition! My girls had a great time! The lake was still cold, but it was early April. Overall, amazing experience! I'll look for this cabin if we're ever staying in the area again. Also, it's not far from Silverwood when it's open!

Stayed with daughter, sister and mom for Christmas. Really nice location overlooking the lake, would be great in nicer weather to sit on one of the decks. Really cozy overall. 4 stars instead of 5 as the bunk beds were really difficult to reach (even for a young 20 year old), there was a random hair on one of the sheets (not belonging to any of us) and could use a refresher set of pans. Would absolutely stay again.

July 4th getaway

We had a wonderful stay. Murphy’s Retreat was the perfect home base for our holiday weekend adventures. The view from the deck is stunning and the huge fire pit and reclining chairs made for a perfect spot to hang out in the evenings. The kitchen was stocked with all the supplies you could need, the beds were comfortable, and the home was nice and clean. The location was great and close to all sorts of activities including Dover bay, the farmers market, city beach park and more. We loved watching the neighbors fireworks. Best of all, we appreciated being able to bring our dogs along. Will highly recommend this home to friends.

Amazing Get Away

Very comfortable cabin. Beautiful place to relax and catch up with family who lives nearby. Loved the grill, fire pit, deck...everything! Erin and Thomas were very accommodating, and we were able to add an extra day to our stay. It was also wonderful to have our sweet doggo enjoy a vacation with us.

Great getaway but verify lake access

The property itself was just beautiful and very well appointed. Everything we needed was there. The problem was it didn’t have direct access to the lake, which was supposed to be offset by being able to take the kayaks up the road to the public lake access. Maybe the owners didn’t know but that lake access is closed for the entire 2025 season. That was the only downside. It’s a beautiful place and for the place and the surroundings itself. I would absolutely recommend it. We had a great time together!

Came to meet our new granddaughter who lives in Ponderay. This is a true gem, such a great little cabin with beautiful views of the lake. Enjoyed the fire pit and roasting marshmallows with the grandkids. Can't wait to stay again was the perfect home away from home. Thank you for such a wonderful time

Perfectly charming get away

Loved our stay at Murphy’s Retreat. Comfy and quiet evenings on the large deck and fire pit. Everything you could ever need for food prep (although we elected to eat out—many places to choose from). Great place for the pups to hang with us. Lots of recommendations from hosts on places to go and things to do in the area. More amenities than a five star hotel. Place was spotless, obviously well cared for. Would highly recommend, well worth the price.

Great little property, super location.

We absolutely loved this property, it was very well stocked with everything you need. Great value for all this property offers. You can tell the hosts are welcoming and really care about your stay. Very clean and comfortable - the kitchen and main living space was perfect size for our group of 3. If there was one area for improvement it is that we were not fans of the queen bunk beds - it felt claustrophobic since one side was pushed up against the wall, and very limited head room - but the mattresses were very comfortable. Amazing outdoor spaces - decks and patio. Overall the property was one of the best we've ever stayed at - highly recommend.
