Nice stay for a wedding weekend in Chico. Plenty of room for the 5 of us and two bathrooms for getting ready was perfect. Quiet corner and easy to park.
We had a very comfortable stay in a great location. Short walk to Bidwell Park and downtown to the eateries. The yard was perfect for our two small dogs. The house had a very chill and relaxing vibe.
Gorgeous walking neighborhood near park and restaurants
The house's spacious kitchen is a gathering place. And the front porch is great stop for parents and to kids returning from school in the PM.
It's also an ideal location from which to explore the town's restaurants, shops, museums and much-loved park.
The house is darling! Loved the kitchen and living room areas and having a fenced yard for our dog was a real help. The neighborhood is quiet and a very easy walk to Bidwell Park. Walking distance to a good restaurant for breakfast too!! It was wonderful.
Loved the location. We walked everywhere around town. Shubert’s was just SO close, we got ice cream daily. House was perfect for our needs. The outdoor table and bbq in the garden was wonderful. And of course, drinking morning coffee on the patio as we “people watched” was really nice too.
Stayed here while visiting our CSU Chico student. Everything we did was within walking distance. Comfortable accommodations, great enclosed backyard for our puppies. Would recommend.
Clean & cozy place - perfect for 2 with easy walk to downtown and to Bidwell park. Only wish is for better/more kitchen towels and more glasses. Enjoyed our stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. The cottage was clean and comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen. Its location is convenient for walks downtown. We were delighted to have access to three serviceable bicycles, which made for a breezy ride through nearby Bidwell Park. We'd definitely return.
This house is a beautiful! It’s a renovated Victorian within easy walking distance to downtown without being right in the middle of the the party houses. The house has a very chill and relaxing vibe. The host is very responsive and it’s great to stay here.
This house is located in a quiet neighborhood yet is close to a main thoroughfare as well as downtown. We visited the mountains to see the snow, Orovile Dam, and restaurants in downtown Chico and all were easily accessible.
Cook's garden, rose bushes, and burgeoning loquat and orange trees gave the property a feeling of abundance. The house is homey rather than elegant. The spacious kitchen is great for cooking and family time. And the front porch is cool in the early day, a nice place to sip coffee and meet people on their way to downtown.
My husband, myself and our 15 pound Havanese dog stayed at the property for three nights.. We were in Chico to help care for a terminally ill close friend.. I love this older section of Chico, with it’s charming homes. The house provided everything we needed.
Perfect little Chico house for our returning alumni getaway weekend. Perfect distance to downtown restaurants and bars without being in the thick of party houses. We walked everywhere and enjoyed this cute neighborhood. The house was perfect for bringing our dog. The backyard is enclosed and there's a side yard with a nice lawn. They even had a dog bed and dog bowl there. The hosts were very accommodating and made the process easy. I would def stay here again.
This house is a perfect chico getaway.
The house common areas feel large and well furnished.
The location is perfection. Walking to/from dinner and drinks was easy.
The yard is fantastic for hangs and for the dogs.
There were bikes and a bike lock for cruising downtown or the campus.
Parking was plentiful. We parked right in front of the house every night.
The water was hot and with good pressure and the towels were plentiful, soft and absorbent.
It’s a perfect chico bungalow in just the right spot.
We will stay here again.
Thanks for having us.
