    Best experience and highly recommend!
    This is one of our best experiences. The property is so beautiful and we truly appreciate the effects the owner and their team put on the landscaping. We just sat on the beautiful garden, sipping a glass of wine, and reflecting how beautiful the life is. The breakfast is delicious and elegantly served.

    Comfy, Cozy, Beautiful Inn
    Fantastic trip. Beautiful, historic inn. Nicely decorated, nice rooms, easy walk into town (literally, less than a few minutes). Great views. Nice, friendly, helpful staff. Great breakfasts each morning (made to order). Just a great, relaxing weekend. We are already planning our next visit.

    A Lovely Spot to Stay and Enjoy Murphys
    Dunbar house is lovely, the rooms beautifully decorated. The bed and pillows in the room were very comfortable and the breakfasts were delicious. The room was very clean, with fluffy towels and an antique claw footed tub! It's location is steps away from downtown Murphy's but so quiet. We are looking forward to returning!
