Celebrating in Chico
This home served as the gathering point for two families in celebration of grandmas 70th birthday. It was the perfect venue providing ample room for young and old. The pool was refreshing and the neighborhood walk each evening, when it cooled down, was terrific.

Perfect family vacation!
My family and I enjoyed our weekend in Chico, and LOVED this home. It was comfortable, had every amenity we needed (especially that beautiful pool during 90 degree days!), and is in a beautiful neighborhood. Stephanie was very communicative and helpful! Thanks again!

Great for Gathering
My mom, my cousins, and I stayed at the house, and other family who were in town for a family event were able to drop in easily. We shared meals together (kitchen had everything we could need!) and had fun splashing and relaxing in the pool and backyard. Very comfortable and hospitable.

First off the hosts were extremely friendly and communicative. Very kind and offered lots of helpful tips and suggestions for around the house and in town. The vrbo was immaculate, clean, and had everything you needed to cook, bbq, and more. The house really felt like home and the beds were also super comfortable. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this place to others!

Family trip
We stayed for 3 days for Chico High graduation. The house was the perfect choice! The kids loved the pool, hot tub and outside games. The home had plenty of space and everything we needed. The location was super close to downtown Chico. We loved it!
