About this property

The Little Yellow Cottage

  • The Little Yellow Cottage is perfectly located in the heart of the historic downtown. It's next to the town park, creek and theater. This was the first vacation rental in Murphys...and has been a guest favorite for over 25 years! Enjoy dining in the private back garden gazebo, making smores over the wood fire pit, or enjoy a game of Cornhole with the family. This home is sure to provide dear memories of your visit to our area.

    Please note that the 2nd bathroom has a clawfoot antique tub (no shower).
