Beautiful Creek
This place is exactly what it promises: available host when needed with a good sense of humor, downtown Chico very close, but the best is the access (behind the house!) to Chico Creek with walk and bike way for miles. Nice neighborhood and nice people all around! We will definitely stay here again when and if we return!

Worth It
This small home is near the park, but also near a noisy highway. The traffic did not bother us too much, but I was surprised by it. The batteries were low in the remote control for the TV, and several light bulbs were burned out. It was easy to communicate with the owner, but it would be nice for those kinds of things to be checked ahead of time. Chico is a lovely, friendly city and staying here was affordable and convenient. Even our dogs were allowed, and there is a little yard in the back.

3rd times a charm
This was our 2nd stay in this property and it once again didn’t disappoint. Charming, clean, cozy, comfortable, excellent location, close to everything including the freeway which you cannot really hear from this rental. The communication with the owner was effortless and prompt … once again, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. See ya next year and know that the 3rd time will be a charm too.

Was fine for our stay.
Nice area for our dog in back. Bed too noisy. Not familiar with the TV but had books with us. The shower was really small.

Very convenient location. Everything you need, nothing you don't.
All the essentials are covered. Perfect for a business trip, or a short visit. Not exactly a vacation rental. The shower is pretty small and the bed is super creaky! Would be nice if there was a washer/drier, but this is why this place is perfect for a short visit. It has everything you need, without all the little extras that ultimately just add up to a more expensive room.
