About this property
Casa de V's Craftsman Charmer ~ walking distance to Bidwell Park and Downtown!
Beautiful updated classic Chico charmer on the main level, only 2 blocks from Bidwell Park and 5 blocks from downtown. The house has been recently transformed into a light and bright space with all the necessities to make a short or long stay comfortable, while maintaining the 1940's charm.
With 3 good size bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms (one that's a Jack & Jill), comfortable living room, spacious dining room, fully stocked kitchen, laundry room and a large backyard area with fire pit and BBQ... you can enjoy all Chico has to offer or stay in and enjoy TV and fast wifi speeds.
If this home is unavailable, you have dogs or a group of 4 or less, feel free to check out our other rentals through our profile.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Mike and Amy Velazquez
We are both working professionals (COO for a manufacturing company & a Fire Captain) that have been active Airbnb/VRBO hosts for 6 years. We keep busy with 2 kids at home, 3 dogs and 20 chickens. I am born and raised in Chico, while my husband is originally from L.A.
We purchased the historic 1938 Senator Johnson home late 2018 on the opposite side of the park and did extensive updating and remodel work, that lead to becoming Airbnb/VRBO hosts. We slowly made it the property we've always dreamed of which grew our love for historic homes as well!

Why they chose this property
In 2022 we added this home, another Chico charmer, to our rental collection. This 1940 craftsman needed some love, so we poured ourselves into it, while also redoing the unit below. This home is everything there is to love about Chico - a few blocks to downtown, and even closer to amazing times at Bidwell Park.
What makes this property unique
We've remodeled the home to provide ease and comfort, ample space for families, the features one would expect and need while travelling; heating & air, full offering of appliances and cooking utensils, amenities, laundry room, dishwasher, satellite TV, fast Wi-Fi, a fire pit and BBQ out back... all while also maintaining the original classic charm. We love sharing the quintessential Chico experience with guests.
