Disappointed
I booked this home w VRBO, but my communication was deferred to Vacasa. From the start, they were condescending and rigid about request to check-in early. I was told we would be notified btn 12pm-3pm IF early check in was available. My only other email was to inquire as to whether there were spices in stock. I was told "due to sanitary purposes, no spices were available." Not only were there plenty of spices but ironically our biggest complaint was how filthy things were! The area rug was filthy. We ran the vacuum but these were spots imbedded. the floors were sticky and full of debris. The freezer clearly was overlooked too. The gas bque pit was filled with rat poop. My husband worked tirelessly to clean and sanitize that for use. There were 2 onsite and both in the same shape. While there was a bocce court, they were missing the primary balls to play. There was cornhole with no bean bags. No umbrellas or shade was available outside. The weeds had just been cut and there was debris everywhere. When I complained about the substandard cleanliness, i was asked if I wanted them to come back. After a long drive and a 4pm check in, the last thing we wanted to do was leave again so they could finish a job they had 8 hrs to do. Vacasa staff told me how hard their girls work and how they are extremely busy. A sincere apology would have bene preferred. I would not recommend this property unless they spent some time and money to give it the TLC is deserves.

Family getaway
Overall we had a nice time. The space in the home was good for what we needed. It was nice to have the extra little house for more sleeping room. The property/home has so much potential but lacking some up keep.

Lack of cleanliness was the dealbreaker
This could have been a great stay, but the lack of cleanliness is what ruined it for us. I have what I believe to be standard expectations (i.e. I don’t expect perfection), but this home didn’t meet the bare minimum, especially when it came to 1) the bathrooms and 2) the kitchenware. Bathrooms: It was very clear that the showers weren’t even rinsed down with water, let alone cleaned. For such a high cleaning fee, you’d expect there to be some effort in this area. There was quite a bit of body hair left behind… it was pretty gross. So if the cleaners didn’t even do a water rinse, I can’t imagine they put the effort to use any sort of cleaning products on things like the countertops, toilet seat, etc. We were grossed out by that idea and even left a day early. We booked Friday to Monday but left Sunday morning. It was especially unfortunate because I brought my crawling baby, and I couldn’t trust that she was touching a recently cleaned floor. Again, I didn’t expect it to be so clean you could eat off of it, but my basic expectation was that perhaps it was mopped before our arrival. I couldn’t trust that it was. Kitchen: Again, a lack of basic cleanliness. The fridge/freezer hadn’t been wiped down. We pulled mugs from the cabinet that were not clean. I’m not talking about a single little missed drop but like half a mug being covered in dried coffee. This meant we had to rewash kitchen items before using them. Having to do extra dishes on vacation - not great.

Great house
What a fantastic home privately nestled against an old quarry that had everything we could've asked for. The house was spacious, was stocked with myriad games, has plenty of sleeping accommodations and the little separate cottage is an absolute gem. The grounds are beautiful. The local management staff was extremely responsive and provided first class customer service. We loved our stay and will definitely be coming back.

Great get away place for friends and family
Took an annual trip with some friends and this place was fantastic. Quite, private, clean and plenty of great amenities. I was a little worried after reading some of the reviews about the property condition, but we had zero issues with the property. Clean and kept up nicely. Yes, the driveway is a little rough but its a house basically in the mountains on a dirt/gravel road. Kind of to be expected in my opinion. Would definitely stay here again.

Cool Property, but needs some maintenance
We had an enjoyable stay, the inside was relatively clean, the outside could use some love. I can understand how the property can get pretty worn given its location, but it could be an amazing stay if it received some investment and regular upkeep. Side note, don’t use the trash compactor unless they provide the appropriate bags. It isn’t a fun clean up.

Great place but…….
This place was in an awesome location and had great amenities but it needed a lot of upkeep. The ponds that were there were basically mosquito breeders. The driveway was treacherous totally needs to be graded. The weeds around the property were waist high. It took me one hour to weed the bocce ball court and get it in shape so we could play. If they could keep this place up to snuff, it would be a five star resort. Saying all that if we come back to Murphys, we would love to stay there again with our family, but they need to keep the place in shape.

Great Property for a family
This house was great for my family of 12 (6 adults & 6 Grandkids). The kids had a lot of room to run around and play. There was lots to do Bocci Ball, ping pong, pool & corn hole (we brought ours). There is a seperate one bedroom, one bathroom cottage. When we had a problem with the lock to get in the support staff was quick to answer and help out. The tile floors were not cleaned, but that was the only issue. The best part was we didn't have to leave to have lots to do for the kids. We would be happy to visit this property again.

good family retreat
The house was a very good option for a family get together with a kitchen and dining area that suited the needs for our shared meals. The guest house was a very good option for my daughter’s young family. However, the yard was in very poor condition. Lots of weeds, overgrown paths and 2 deteriorated ponds. The yard has lots of potential but someone has decided not to maintain it. We were very disappointed with the yard because it was a very big reason we selected this house.

Property in disrepair
We all agreed this home was once probably a beautiful place but it is very clear that it has been neglected. The yard was extremely overgrown foxtails everywhere, the water feature is a stagnant pond full of algae, the hot tub took over 72 hrs to get just up to 96 degrees so we weren’t even able to use it during our visit. Multiple glasses cracked, a knob on the stove broken, pet stain on the area rug, couch covers in need of replacement or deep cleaning multiple stains , road in severely washed out you can only get an suv down there . Saving grace the beds were comfy and there were plenty of clean white towels. Unfortunately, I would not recommend anyone stay here until there’s some major work on the home.

Great property- lots of room!
We had a great stay with all 10 of our family members there. The property is huge and the dogs were in heaven. The houses were nice - only issues were the security gate stopped working on the 2nd day and the trash cans were all still full when we arrived so we had nowhere to put garbage. We had some ants and several cabinet doors were off the hinges. When I contacted the property manager they just told us the same info we were given before arrival. We know the code. It was not working. I know garbage pickup is Fridays. It was not picked up! We still had a great trip and made lots of memories.

Beautiful Property
We stayed in December. We got a little snow which was great. The home was cozy but could benefit by some additional decor. Unfortunately we were unable to access the smaller structure/cabin due to it being locked with an unprovided key until the middle of our stay. We made due in the main structure which worked out nicely. Would definitely stay again.
