Getting There
6836 Pappalardo Promenade, Murphys, CA 95247
Located in the heart of Calaveras County, the retreat offers both seclusion and convenient access. It's an easy and scenic drive from most of the Bay Area, often quicker and less congested than heading to other mountain destinations.
Accommodations
There will be beds available in the main house on a first come first served basis. We'll also be renting nearby Airbnbs for additional accommodations. There's plenty of room to camp on-site, and we'll provide amenities and supplies for campers.
Contact Bryan to arrange.
