This house was adequate for what we needed, a space for 5 friends in town for a reunion. There was plenty of room for hanging out and the picnic table on the porch was nice for outdoor chill time. The furnishings were fine, nothing fancy. The linens and towels were worn and need a refresh. It would have been be nice to have wine glasses that were made out of glass rather than plastic. If you have allergies you should be aware that the linens and sheets are washed in highly scented detergent. We were told to reach out to the host 24-48 hours ahead of time for check in information, although we were not responded to until immediately before check in, which made it difficult to coordinate 5 people arriving separately. Would have been better to just be honest about when we would receive check in information. All in all the stay was adequate and once we got into the house the host was very responsive.

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.

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.
