Welcome to the Murphy House! While visiting Oneonta, we invite you to stay at our Bed and Breakfast home.
Location:
Our charming city is nestled among the hills, directly off Interstate 88. Our bed and breakfast is located one block from Main Street, in the Walnut Street National Historic District. Guests always enjoy the old neighborhood and its architecture, the walk to Main Street cafes and shops, and our proximity to local colleges and tourist attractions.
Accommodations:
We offer two well-appointed
guest
suites that are named after people from Oneonta's history. Each air-conditioned suite consists of a bedroom and a sitting room with cable tv and wireless internet access.
- Mr. Stanton's Suite has a queen bed, a twin bed, and a private adjoining bath.
- Mrs. Hanks' Suite has a king bed, a pullout twin sleeper, and a private bath located off the hall.
The décor includes vintage chenille, old quilts, and wallpaper reminiscent of my Grandma's. Guests appreciate how comfortable our beds are and how fresh the sheets smell.
Breakfast:
Breakfast is served anytime between 7:30 and 9:30 am. Folks always comment on how they enjoy the different recipes I’ve collected over the years - so much that I’ve published my own cookbook. Some of the ‘favorites’ I serve are gingerbread pancakes with whipped cream, oven omelets with bacon and sausage, and homemade waffles with raspberries. And of course, I use fresh eggs and real maple syrup from local farms.
(Ask me if you'd like picnic baskets to take out for lunch, or tea and cake served in the afternoon. I am able to create such indulgences for ~$20 per person)
Rates:
Rates are $125-$150 plus tax per night for single or double occupancy. A third person in a suite costs an additional $30 per night.
Reservations:
Please telephone or email us for availability. Reservations are recommended, since we are closed occasionally for family business.
Since we don’t take credit cards, people mail us a $50 per night deposit in the form of a check made out to ‘The Murphy House’. Upon check-out, guests pay their balance by personal check, traveler's check, or cash.

As much as we dislike ‘rules', we need to have a few:
- Less than a 4-week notice of cancellation requires re-rental of your room for a refund of your deposit, minus a service charge.
- Smoking is not allowed.
- Some weekends require a minimum stay.
- We cannot accommodate pets.
- We might be able to accept children under 12, circumstances permitting.
- Check-in is between 3 and 10 pm.
