Ryan & Jennifer
We know that a lot of family and friends will be traveling from all over and in order to accommodate those that wish to stay in Murphys, we have blocked rooms at the Murphys Suites under our names "Cook/Perieff." These are all double bed rooms with a "living room" equipped with a couch. The hotel is just down the street from the venue, 0.5 miles away (a 2 minute drive or 11 minute walk). It is important to note that the hotel will hold the rooms until 45 days before the wedding, so BOOK EARLY, especially because we are getting married on Memorial Weekend.
We have blocked additional rooms at the Travelodge in Angels Camp. There are single and double bed rooms available through our blocking, also under Cook/Perieff. Travelodge will hold these rooms until 30 days out from the date. The Angels Camp Travelodge is about a 15 minute drive from the venue.
Other lodging in the area includes the Murphys Inn (about a block away from the venue), the Victoria Inn, and the Murphys Hotel. Vacation rentals are also available through the venue (https://vvactionrental.com), these include apartments and houses. Murphys is a tourist town so rooms can fill up quick, especially during the holidays!
The venue is located right off of Main St. in downtown Murphys. If you enjoy wine this is the prime spot for you! There are at least a dozen tasting rooms on Main St alone. We recommend Vina Moda Winery, which is owned and operated by Ryan's high school wrestling coach! There are bookstores, an ice cream shop, restaurants, and even a lavender shop down the street as well. Murphys Community Park access from Main St can be found by turning at S Algiers St, the park sits along Angels Creek and offers a great place to cool off if the weather is hot.
When arriving to the venue it is important to note that parking is limited in the lot and reserved for the wedding party. There is street parking along Jones St. and, according to the venue coordinator, parking has never been an issue. So, park on Jones St. and prepare for a short little walk.

I hiked this trail while about 4 months pregnant and ended up having to carry Maylene almost all the way up the trail on the way back! It's a great hike and the water and cavern is a most excellent spot to chill!
