Adorable Chico Gem

The house was perfect for our 3 families. We were in town dropping off our sons at Chico State. The house was plenty big with 5 bedrooms, large comfy sectional, and a little game room. Everyone spread out throughout the house, but came together for meals at the dining room table. The tree lined streets were gorgeous and shady. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the front porch. Safeway and many tasty restaurants (The Bear, Woodstock's Pizza, and The Raw Bar Restaurant and Sushi) are close. We love that the house was extremely close to campus. Occasionally, we heard the train whistle which put a smile on my face as it reminded me of my college days as a Chico State student. All 3 families agreed that we'd love to stay here again when we visit our sons.

Large home in quiet neighborhood. More than enough space for our group. Loved the large front porch. There is a picnic table, but I recommend bringing some camp chairs to sit on if you want to be really comfortable.

Just What We Were Looking For…

We couldn’t have been more happier with our stay, and the place was perfect. The host was great, and he went out of his way to help out with an issue, which was awesome. We would highly recommend staying, and if you have a big family, it is more than enough room. Great experience!

Awesome Chico House!!!

This house was perfect for a gathering of 10 friends and family! Great location in Chico, in one of the oldest neighborhoods. Super adorable. Took a tour of Sierra Nevada which was impressive and walked downtown for some shopping and a visit to Mad Bear. The host was extremely easy to communicate with and there were no issues checking in or out. I highly recommend this house!

College Reunion

I planned a nostalgic trip with my friends from college to return to Chico after almost a decade. This house was extremely clean, comfortable and walking distance to campus which was great. We had an awesome time visiting Bear Hole, doing the Sacramento River float and exploring downtown. Would definitely recommend this house for a visit to Chico.

Vacation at Chico

Spacious clean home at a quiet neighborhood. We went to snow areas closer to mineral from this home, enjoyed playing in the snow during day time and relaxed at home cooking and watching netflix movies. Kids enjoyed in their game room area, playing together in upstairs/downstairs rooms... they had great fun. It is a memorable 2022 year celebration for us at this home.

Good house for family stay in Chico

Stayed here during 4th July weekend with family and friends. House was good, clean condition. Has 5 bedrooms, so comfortable for group of 10-12. Only thing we I found lacking was proper plates and bowls in kitchen. Front porch is a great place to sit and have tea/coffee or breakfast/lunch/dinner. May be hiuse can have some more board games for kids, but other wise nice house.

Pleasant stay

Location gave easy access to downtown, parks,etc. front yard was wonderful for kids to play. Backyard was very small and essentially unusable. A binder with property and town information would have been helpful. Zac the property manager was readily available and pleasant. We would stay here again. The house was very roomy!
