Photos and Description of the Murphys vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms, 3.5 Baths, (Sleeps 6)

Life at Milfiori is restful and unhurried. The house is spacious and artfully decorated with many period pieces. It is like stepping back in time from the moment you cross the threshold. Each bedroom is completely unique and melds beautifully with the period of the home. One bedroom has a vintage claw foot tub en-suite.

There is a charming caretaker's cottage on the property (see listing #270729) and a beautiful old barn. Adjacent to the main house is a stone building with heavy metal doors. In decades past this building served as the bank as well as the village store. You can still see the well that served the community of Douglas Flat.

The house is in the heart of Calaveras County's wine growing region. Stop in at any of the wineries to meet the owners and learn about the local wines. You will be pleasantly surprised.

For a more active day, explore the old mining towns and visit one of the numerous museums for the local lore. Go antiquing or spend the day hiking in nearby Big Trees State Park or skiing at Bear Valley.

Or just enjoy the grounds at Milfiori. Sit on the porch and read a book or stroll through the gardens and try to identify the variety of flowers and plants (the name means a thousand flowers). Take the time to enjoy the slower pace of life in the Gold Country.

The owner is on the premises, available to answer your questions or give suggestions on how to make the most of your trip to the Mother Lode.

Simply Lovely

We were immediately taken by the sense of calm and beauty of this property. the house had a charm about it that is indescribable until you step foot inside. We were transported away from the hustle and bustle of city life and by the end of the weekend, we didn't want to leave. I've been looking for an excuse to come back ever since!

We've stayed at many rental houses over the years, and this was one of the best. It is comfortable, roomy, well decorated (but not overdone) and well equipped. We stayed with two other couples and all had plenty of space, if we wanted it, and good "together space" as well. The garden was superb. We would definitely go again. There was only one negative; at least in our bedroom you could hear morning traffic from the main road which took away some of the tranquility.

Five of us stayed at Milfiori and had an amazing and relaxing time. The house is very clean, quaint, and comfortable. It is also larger than the pictures show with lots of sitting space from the kitchen, to the living room, family room, and there is also a little sitting room upstairs if you'd like to read and relax. Kitchen was well stocked and we cooked in a couple of nights.

The property is awesome and spacious featuring fun a wrap around porch and just space to wander and enjoy the grounds. Great spot for taking some photos.

It is only about 1 mile into town so very easy to drive to town. The owner was very helpful in meeting us when we arrived, showing us the house, and answering any questions we had.

I would highly recommend the property and we will be returning for sure since we enjoyed it so much!! The house has so much character and you truly feel like you've gotten away from the hustle and bustle of every day life!!

We had a great weekend getaway for the 6 of us gals. Milfiori offers a variety of sleeping options, sitting areas and plenty of bathrooms. The kitchen offers all the convienences of modern day kitchens and is well stocked with everything you need.
The house is actually bigger and more spacious than it appears on the website.
It is clean and tastefully decorated.
The outside area has plenty of areas to explore or just sit and enjoy the quiet, serene atmosphere.
I would not recommend walking to Murphys but it is a very short drive.
The owner was available, accommodating, communicative and wasy to work with.
The only recommendation I could make is a BBQ for the premises.

We rented Milfiori for the weekend of my 70th birthday. Couldn't have asked for better; the house was very clean, comfortable and roomy. Well away from the noise & bustle of Murphys but still within very easy driving range.
