This property was exactly as advertised. Great space, amenities, location and check-in process. This was perfect for our family of 10 and it was great that we could bring our dog. The little cation to the ski hill was perfect and it was a gorgeous setting to relax.
This is our second stay at Murphyâs and we love it. Our family of 8 (plus canine companion) had a wonderful stay. The cabin is spacious and comfortable. We love the hot tub, the wood stove, the location and walkability. Looking forward to returning!
We do an annual winter getaway and Murphyâs was our best to date. Plenty of space for 6 adults and 2 kids. Dog friendly is a huge plus. We loved the hot tub and big backyard. Host communication was good and we had no issues. Definitely would stay again.
Fantastic week away. Great space for two families. 15 min walk through forest to the village. Big kitchen and dining area for 8. Hot tub was a plus after a day on the hill! Great yard for kids to play in the snow!
The cabin was nice and cool when we arrived, clean and tidy. Lots of towels provided. Lots of space for activity and meals.
Would recommend for folks wanting to stay around the area for most of the time. About 45 mins to Penticton.
Only negative was the hot tub, we used it one night then the second night it stopped working.
Beautiful place, we had a great time!!
Our family rented this cabin over Christmas and can confidently say that it lived up to all of our expectations. The cabin was clean and well-prepared with signs providing directions on how to use electronics and plenty of wood for the stove. The property manager was super responsive to any questions and went above and beyond to have a Christmas tree and decorations set up within the cabin.
I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone and would absolutely stay there again in the future.
We enjoyed our stay up at the cabin - it's a nice space in beautiful surroundings!
It was a great getaway for a ski vacation up at Apex.
The only real challenge was that we discovered that the bottom element of the oven was broken when we arrived, which made meals more of a challenge. If you need the oven, make sure to contact the owners to check that it has been fixed. Otherwise, the place was great!
Accurately described. Spacious cabin with lots of natural light. All useful amenities included. Great BBQ. Nice neighbours. Close to village. Quiet. Amazing dark sky at night. Communication with Owners was extremely easy throughout our stay. Would stay there again. Beautiful setting in summer. Assume it is just as awesome in winter.
Murphy's had everything you need. Very spacious and perfect for kids, families, and pets. Great TV's, games, lovely backyard and deck with barbecue came in very handy. I wish there were some pots that were just stainless steel and not Teflon, but the crock pot came in handy for stews and soups. We would definitely stay here again.
Just spent an awesome 4 nights in Murthyâs cabin with in-laws and kids and loved it. Lots of room for everyone. Kitchen has everything you need. Quick communication with the owner when we needed propane for the bbq-Stephen took great care of us. Hot tub was amazing after long days of skiing and the snow gods were smiling on us as we woke up to 15-20cm of fresh pow every day we were there! Love the wood fireplace, big mud room to dry out all of our gear, and the big yard for our pup to frolic in the snow. Canât wait to go back.
This house was absolutely perfect for our family reunion to celebrate Mom's birthday. There were 10 of us plus our dog and it was even better as pictured in the photos. Super clean and equipped with everything you need. Just like being at home! Perfect instructions for any questions you might have and Stephen was quick to reply whenever we had questions. Hot tub was a huge bonus too!! Thanks for the amazing accommodations Stephen... great family memories were made. đ
The cabin is great. Lots of space. Easy check-in. I would absolutely recommend it EXCEPT we had a pretty disappointing checkout process.
Due to covid there are different instructions for checking out than what's currently listed on the app for this property. The covid cleaning instructions are on the oven and I skimmed them when I first arrived but when checkout time came I assumed they were the same on the app and went by those instructions. We forgot to take the bedsheets off the bed, the dishes were clean but hadn't been put away, and the blinds behind the sink had gotten tangled but we felt it was best not to mess with it further.
After we left, I received very unprofessional messages from the property manager blaming us for absolutely everything that had ever happened to the place as well as saying things like "your parents would be disappointed in you" like we were children.
In the end, we paid for additional cleaning which is fair because we made a mistake, but making those comments above was totally unprofessional and disappointing. So if a friend asked whether they should stay here I'd say ...maybe?
The space was exactly as listed; fit all of our friends, and had the perfect amenities! Patti was clear with communication, and quick to congratulate us on our engagement.
The drive up to her space was absolutely beautiful! Thank you for a perfect weekend.
Les points faibles : Communication et exactitude de lâannonce
Harassment from property manager
To begin, this property and its surrounding land are some of the most beautiful I've seen in B.C. However, I have had so many issues with the property manager, that I do not recommend this stay to anyone.
Some of this includes the property manager sending me harassing texts to my phone days after our stay ended, while I kept asking for our communications to be held over the VRBO platform.
Prior to our stay, I asked the property manager if the hot tub was in working order, and clean, we were assured by her that it was all good to go. When we got to the property, one member of my group happens to be an aquatics operation specialist who immediately noticed many issues with the hot tub, some of which includes that the water was dirty and cold. When we contacted the property manager, she informed that us over the phone that infact, this was an older model and some components like the motor where on back order, so it was not operational! Another issue that came up: half way through my stay, I contacted VRBO so they could look into this hot tub issue, and when I launched an investigation with them, our internet was immediately cut for the duration of the stay. The property manager was so difficult to communicate with, her style went from rude to patronizing and harassing.
Needless to say, I've documented all of the harrassement that this property manager inflicted upon me over text message and it is being actively investigated by VRBO.
