About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Parkside Place / Amazing Location / One Of A Kind!
Bidwell Park is right outside your door! Walk across the street to enjoy bike trails, walking paths, and swimming holes. Downtown Chico, Chico State, and Sierra Nevada Brewery are also minutes away. Then come back to your space to spread out and relax. Perfect to accommodate multiple families, with toys & books, OLED HD 75" TV and TV's in two bedrooms too. Game room has 5 adult bikes and 3 for kids, pool table, foosball, and a retro arcade game! (No Animals Permitted including ESA/Service)
Windows throughout the home will be sure to delight if natural light is your thing! Downstairs living room and kitchen are open concept and wonderful for gathering. The loft upstairs provides a second living room space, still quite connected with the activity below.
Three bedrooms downstairs: The 1st is a master that includes a king bed, it's own 43" TV, and has a bathroom that has a shower. The 2nd has a queen bed just a little further down the hall with it's own built in desk work-space. The 3rd is a spare bedroom off the main living space with a queen bed and a beautiful skylight.
Main hallway bathroom has a luxurious jetted bathtub.
Upstairs is the loft on one side and a large master family suite with a king bed, and also a bunk bed with a trundle roll out to sleep three additional guests. Great for a family wanting one room to share during their stay or multiple friends looking to bunk together. This bedroom also has a bathroom with a shower and a large walk in closet, set up as a kids play space.
The garage has been transformed into a game room with a pool table, foosball, and bikes!
Finally, there is plenty of parking on site! While you will have the entire Parkside Place home to yourself, there is another smaller home on the property that will sometimes be occupied by other guests, and we've made the parking areas set up to accommodate this. If the other home is reserved, please note that while you each have your own parking and no shared walls, you may see other guests coming and going from the other home. You can find our VRBO listing to reserve both homes if you would like to have the whole property to yourself and space for up to 20 guests.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.
If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking.

Charming home near Bidwell Park
My family enjoyed our stay in this charming home. Check in was a breeze and Bri was super friendly and responsive to the one question we had upon arrival. The house is right across from Bidwell Park and is very quiet. Overall a great place to stay for a visit to Chico!

Graduation Lodging
What a charming home with large kitchen, living room and dining area for our entire family to gather and visit. Without being on top of each other. Easy access to beautiful walking trails and lovely neighborhood. As we are active family!Location is quick drive to Chico State and downtown for our many trips during festivities!

Wedding Trip to Chico
Lovely - location and property itself. Well provisioned. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others. Deck in back is 'cozy' and could use a few more chairs. Web site lists 'hot tub' - we spoke with owner there is none. Would have been nice but was a most minor issue. Nice place whish it was mine. We give it an EXCELLENT RATING. :)

Family retreat
Small problems, baggage stand was broken, deck between houses uneven. Dangerous for elderly. There was a crack in window of downstairs bedroom. But we enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home.

Artsy decor with big comfy furniture
This home is "as advertised"! Artsy with fabulous decor, a great big beautiful kitchen, comfy sofas, and beds with layers of great bedding. Extra blankets for cool nights. When we arrived, the home was warm and toasty inside, and the coffee pot was ready for the morning: great host and a great house. I will rent again next year.

Holiday gathering at Parkside
It was a great house. Only streaming TV which worked out fine. We wished it had a barbeque but we were able to cook hamburgers in cast iron frying pan...location was great. Peaceful quiet older neighborhood.
