The entire home is 7274 sq ft and has a total of 10 units spread out amongst 3 floors and a basement, each unique to one another in size, layout, and design – come back and stay at them all for a different experience each time! You will not find another gem like this in all of Prescott.

Unit 2B – “The Murphy Suite” is on the basement level and is approx. 850 sq ft with 2 beds/1 bath. The space has 1 large bedroom with a queen size bed and 42” TV, 1 small bedroom with a twin daybed and 32” TV, a sitting area, dining room, bathroom with a stand-up shower, and a full kitchen for your use and enjoyment. The unit’s ambience reflects the time of the Industrial Revolution in America during the 1800s, when many important inventions came to fruition. You’ll find that the decor is industrial/steampunk and it is named the “Murphy Suite” as a tribute to this monumental time. The Edison bulbs throughout only add to this atmosphere!

**The basement units are our most unique units as you can see from the pictures. They are a bit darker and cooler than the main floor units and have a basement feel to them. 2B has mostly stone for walls and there are exposed pipes along the walls and ceilings that you can sometimes hear water flowing through. You’ll likely hear some footsteps from guests staying above you as well as the occasional humming of a portable AC unit. We’ve had past guests that have considered this room their favorite and loved the “cool” factor of it, and we’ve had others that felt it had more of a “spooky” vibe and didn’t feel the same. We think it’s an amazing one-of-a-kind space but at the end of the day it’s about guest preference and we understand that everyone’s tastes are different. Please review the pictures of the room and we’d be more than happy to answer any additional questions you have before booking as there will be no refunds for cancelled reservations.

Guest Access

The building itself has two main entrances. One is through the front door of the home which can be accessed from the front porch on the north side of the house that faces Gurley St. The other is located through the Mansion’s side door on the West side of the building, immediately next to the mailboxes which you can see from S Alarcon St. The side door is closer to the parking, but the main entrance is a bit more “grand” – feel free to use either.

Unit 2B has a private entrance accessible from the outside of the home. Facing the Mansion from S Alarcon St, enter the sidewalk gate and head up the walkway towards the home. Turn right at the end of the walkway, then down the stairs to the left, and you’ll see the door to “The Murphy Suite”. The stairs can be a little dark at night and there’s an immediate drop off when you first enter the room so please watch your steps.

Unit 2B has one assigned parking stall which is accessed via the side street immediately to the south of the property from S Alarcon St. Street parking is also available.

Other Things to Note

Please respect and take care of the home during your stay. Much of it is original and cannot be replaced.

As much of it is original please expect some creaking floors and other noises and sights that come with a home that’s well over 100 years old. We think it adds to the appeal! But not everyone may think the same way so, just a heads up :).

Parking can be a little tight, so if you have a large vehicle that ends up sticking out into the road/sidewalk or takes up width that interferes with the stall next to you please park on the street instead.

The location is amazing – just 2 short blocks from the square! However, like any other hotels or stays that are near a city center there may be some noise (mostly traffic) to deal with. The south side and lower floor rooms (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 2B) are quieter. And the ones closest to Gurley St (4, 7, 1B) are slightly noisier. Some guests notice it, others don’t, but we thought it deserved at least a mention to consider when booking.

All rooms have at least 1 portable A/C unit for those summer months when it can get a little warm. The larger units have 2 in them. There are fans in each room as well. For the winter months there is a boiler system that generates heat for the house and all rooms.

All TV’s are subscribed to Hulu Live TV which includes 75+ channels and all Hulu content. Other streaming apps are installed but depending on the service you may need to login to them using your own account info to access content. Please log out of them before leaving to prevent the use of your account by others.

All guests have access to the common areas of the home as well as the outside common areas. While you are free to explore the inside of the Mansion please be considerate of other guests that may be staying and do your best not to disturb them.

There is a shared laundry room on the south side of the building. Laundry supplies are not provided but there are 2 washers and 2 dryers available for use if you provide your own.

Please read the Guest book in the unit for more details on the Mansion, it’s unique history, important house rules, and other useful info.

We want you to have the most comfortable and enjoyable stay possible, so if there’s anything we can do to make your stay better please just let us know!

HAVE A GREAT STAY WE ARE THRILLED TO HAVE YOU!
