Fantastic Stay

The property is quaint and charming with a super friendly staff. Breakfast is made to order with a smile. My only critique: my partner and I are both 6 feet tall and we unfortunately booked a room at the top with a downward sloping ceiling at multiple places. My fault for not better reading the description. Now you know. Come and enjoy yourselves.

We had a delicious breakfast on the porch the wondered around the gardens. Great place for weddings and other gatherings. The town of Murphy's was a delight. All the action is just a few doors down.

Great little B&B

We stayed one night so we could attend a concert at Ironstone Winery and we loved everything about the Dunbar Bed & Breakfast. We didn't know what to expect since this was our first B&B experience but it did not disappoint. We woke up and got downstairs for breakfast just a few minutes past the final hour and the chef allowed us to nibble on a few things before they were completely put away. She didn't have to, she could have said, \"Sorry! Kitchen's closed!\" but she had no problem with it. Loved every aspect of the house!

hosts thought of every little detail

Arline and Rich had thought of every little detail--a snack bar, snuggly socks, recommendations on best restaurants and things to do. Rich showed us his car collection. Grounds are beautiful. It's smack in the middle of town. Full breakfast upon awaking in the morning, coffee in the room as well as bottled water, and so much more. Hosts were there if you needed them, but very quiet and not at all \"hovering\" over us. A grand experience.

Enjoyed being Spoiled at Dunbar House

We celebrated my wife's birthday over three days in early April. Booked the Cedar room midweek and had the place to ourselves. Our fabulous breakfasts were served in our room each morning and every afternoon we were greeted with appetizers and a bottle of wine from a local winery. Rich and Arline are great hosts and were very helpful in selecting restaurants and local sightseeing. Would highly recommend the Dunbar House.

Rude before we ever entered!

I cannot rate anything other then the service. My husband and I along with our three year old grandson spent a wonderful few days in the Strawberry area enjoying the snow. Unfortunately the entire area lost power and we needed to find another location to stay. The Dunbar House touted their excellent service to their guests. We were also willing to spend the $300 a night for the experience. As we approached the front door it dawned on us that at this price range they may not accept children. We rang the door once and then noticed the sign which indeed stated No children or pets. We completely understood and therefore rang the bell again thinking that the Innkeeper could recommend another location. We again got no answer. We rang again. Since there was a video system monitoring the front porch this seemed odd. We stood there in the rain and it dawned on us that they do not have the courtesy to answer the door because I had a child on my hip. My husband walked around to one of the windows and saw the Innkeeper standing by the door and motioned to him. Finally the door was answered. The Innkeeper questioned who was staying? Having stayed at many B&B's over the years in this price range we understood that children are not always welcome and understand why. That was not the issue. However, the Innkeeper lacked basic social graces. I would have thought that they as a business that could not accommodate our current needs would have been happy to recommend another LOCAL place to stay. My husband and I plan on going back to Murphys and would not even think about staying at the Dunbar house nor would we recommend it to our friends or family. We are very loyal to businesses that deserve loyalty and are willing to pay top dollar to support such businesses. All I can say in this instance is that the Dunbar House Innkeeper should bring their ego down a notch and at least open their door. You never know who standing on your porch!

24th Anniversary

My hubby and I stayed at Dunbar to celebrate our 24th wedding anniversary. This was our first B&B stay, and we loved it! We were the only guests in the house our first night, so we had the whole place to ourselves for Saturday and most of Sunday. Very romantic setting at our B&B and Murphy's is a beautiful and quaint lil gold rush era town (w/tons of wine tasting rooms just a short lil walk from Dunbar House!) Arline and Rich were wonderful hosts and our breakfast and snacks were delicious. Can't wait to go back again!

Romantic Paradise

The moment we stepped inside Dunbar House, it was like stepping back into 1880 with all the charm, elegance and grace of an era long since passed, where we were greeted warmly by Arline, the owner.



We stayed in the Sequoia room which is beautifully decorated with rich burgundy colors. It was fun to experience the room as there were so many wonderful touches throughout, such as instant hot water tap in our room so that we could enjoy the great selection of teas, a delicious homemade appetizer of hummus and thyme toasted pita bread with an array of veggies and fruit, along with a bottle of wine. We laughed when we saw mini floating ducks and frogs in our Jacuzzi. We also found covered boxes tucked in nooks and crannies filled with hidden notes from previous guests. It was like a treasure hunt.



We especially loved our morning coffee basket that was delivered outside our door before breakfast. We then enjoyed an unbelievably romantic breakfast in our room alongside the cozy gas burning stove. Everything on our plate was presented beautifully, as well as the outstanding homemade sausage patties! It was so delicious that we ate every crumb.



Rich and Arline were always on hand to make sure that we were comfortable and well cared for. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the parlor where we worked on a puzzle and or enjoyed reading in front of the warm, toasty fireplace. We?ve never been so pampered or felt so much at home as we have at Dunbar House. We?ll be back?time and time again!
