Murphy's Place

Murphy's Place is proud to offer to our guests some fantastic beef and lamb, raised right here on the Diamond E Farm. All of ​our animals are raised on pasture and hay with minimal grain supplementation, no hormones added and no unnecessary antibiotics. Lamb or beef can be placed in your cabin refrigerator to defrost prior to your arrival. Email or text for current pricing and available cuts.

We are so fortunate to have some lovely wineries just moments from Murphy's Place! Peaceful Bend is the closest, approximately 1 and 1/2 miles from our cabins. Many of our guests walk there and back, enjoying the beautiful views and animal sightings along the way. Peaceful Bend is pet friendly, so feel free to bring your furry pal along!

Another favorite is Red Moose Vineyard. Their nice selection of wines, beautiful vineyard views and friendly service are worth the drive to get there!

There is a winery in Leaseburg, Belmont Vineyards, and also several wineries in St. James with Three Squirrels and Heinrich Hause at the top of my list for that area.
