things to do



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. They offer house made beer, a fantastic menu and great wine. Many of our guests walk there and back, enjoying the beautiful views and animal sightings along the way.

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 Meramec Vineyards, Three Squirrels and Heinrich Hause at the top of my list for that area.

Purchased some rib eye steaks from Murphy's Place for the grill. Fantastic! Best steak I've ever put over charcoal!
