What a great property, it's large yard with plenty of shade trees gives it a park like setting that is perfect to just relax in. It's only a block from main street and all the restaurants and wine tasting. House was clean and had everything we needed. Owners were very responsive and made every effort to ensure our stay was enjoyable. I've already booked another week towards the end of summer, can't wait!!

Happy Hollow was great. Easy walk to downtown and the outdoor space/front yard was a lot of fun. Plenty of room for Corn Hole, remote control cars, frisbee, etc. Interior was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend to all.

The house and the yard were terrific. The yard is lovely and fenced in so our dog could run and play safely. The house is comfortable and everything worked perfectly: the heat, the wifi, the washer/dryer, etc. So nice to be able to walk to town, which is only a block away. Totally enjoyed our stay--in fact, we stayed an extra night.

My niece from Avery had a wedding shower in Murphy’s and we booked this amazing house for the weekend. It was a beautiful house and yard and everything was amazing! There were fresh flowers, Easter decorations and we felt right at home. They had everything for our dogs as well. It was perfect!

The property was very clean and cozy. Check in process was extremely simple as the door was open when we arrived. The outdoor space was wonderful, plenty for kids to do; swings and games. The pictures are deceptive as the house is quite large. There there 2 living areas and 4 sleeping areas. The house is an easy walk to the downtown which is charming. Highly recommend. Am already thinking of a return visit

We loved this house! The location is perfect - a quick walk to downtown Murphy's which has wonderful shops, wine tasting, bars and restaurants. I think the dogs had the best time - they enjoyed the nice large yard to run around in. Everything was clean and we enjoyed our stay. We stay in VRBOs often, and I think this house was the best stocked kitchen I've seen! We were there over the holidays and it was even decorated with fresh flowers and holiday decorations. Kids, dogs and parents all happy.

This is a very comfortable house with lots of room for our group to move around. The house was set with nice furniture that had some character, it felt like we were in someone's home and not a hotel, which is what we wanted. Plus it was right in town and a very short walk to Main Street. The yard and porch were a plus along with snacks and fresh flowers. Two improvements might be fresher coffee and a way to control the light outside our window (or have curtains that can block out the light). All in all, we hope to return to Happy Hollow!

Great location! Perfect house for a girls trip. Note, the bedroom with a queen and twin is semi private. You have to walk through that room to get to the another bedroom and bathroom. Worked fine for our stay. Kitchen and bathrooms had all necessary amenities. Wished we'd stayed longer to enjoy the huge front yard.

This was such a fun location to ring in the new year! Little did we know that we were going to be hit by the storm of the century. The front yard filled up like a lake! The kitchen was well stocked, so we enjoyed cooking and baking during the storm. The one TV made for some interesting programming strategies but we were happy to have cable. Because we were traveling with my elderly mother, might we suggest grab bars in the shower? Walking distance to town was perfect. We would love to stay here during the summer. Perfect yard for games and barbecues. Thank you Janet for opening your home.
