Family Home on Lake Bridgeport: Pets Welcome!
Dockside Dining Area | BBQ Ready | 5 Mi to North Side Marina
The hush of lapping water, the flick of a cast line, the churn of a boat on Lake Bridgeport — these are the sounds of lakeside living, and they're all yours at this Chico vacation rental. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home makes fishing, boating, and swimming easy, with lake access and a private dock steps from the yard. Back on land, unwind with a book, play a game, or relax on the screened porch — no bugs, just views.
Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, free WiFi, smart TV, and a screened‑in sleeping porch with additional beds. The backyard dock is ideal for swimming, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and tying up your boat. Anglers love staying here for tournaments thanks to the easy on‑the‑water launch point.
Kids will enjoy the outdoor playground, toys, and games, while adults relax on the porch and waterfront seating with beautiful lake views and abundant wildlife. Grill out, host a fish fry, or prepare a crawfish boil. This lake house is located in a quiet, scenic area just minutes from Chico and is 12 miles closer than the nearest hotel—perfect for visiting family. Whether you're here for fishing, boating, or simply relaxing, the Watson House offers a peaceful, comfortable, and family‑friendly lakeside retreat.
Note: Lake Bridgeport water levels vary. As of January 1, 2026, levels are average and still allow swimming and boating. Dock access for fishing is available, and public boat ramps are nearby.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
