Loved the location. We walked everywhere around town. Shubert’s was just SO close, we got ice cream daily. House was perfect for our needs. The outdoor table and bbq in the garden was wonderful. And of course, drinking morning coffee on the patio as we “people watched” was really nice too.

We arrived and quickly realized there wasn't A/C per the posting because it was 87F in the house. After we fully checked the property we found cobwebs, dead & live bugs, broken locks on windows, locked attic room above, fridge not cooling properly, heavy dust on cabinets, and the couch in the living area was not a sleeper as posted. The host, Brian, was very responsive, but appeared to be a part of a property management team and not the actual owner. Not a big fan of how it all went down upon arrival since we had driven over 14 hours from Phoenix to work all week. Hoping the host updates the stay or the posting. We were refunded, but I had to deal with Vrbo to get that going prior to the end of the reservation because it was never indicating we checked out the very next day.

I'm Sorry things didn't work out Justin. The air conditioners are window units and we take them out for the Winter because they can be a bit drafty. Typically It's not 80 degrees in March. My apologies for not having them back in for you visit. We recently outsourced the booking, cleaning and maintenance to a third party. Apparently they haven't been doing their job. We will be having a serious discussion regarding their continued services due to your experience. Thanks for bringing these deficiencies to our attention. They were supposed to change the photo of the couch as well. The Actual Owner, Brian

Gorgeous walking neighborhood near park and restaurants

The house's spacious kitchen is a gathering place. And the front porch is great stop for parents and to kids returning from school in the PM. It's also an ideal location from which to explore the town's restaurants, shops, museums and much-loved park.

The house is darling! Loved the kitchen and living room areas and having a fenced yard for our dog was a real help. The neighborhood is quiet and a very easy walk to Bidwell Park. Walking distance to a good restaurant for breakfast too!! It was wonderful.

Great Get Away

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. The cottage was clean and comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen. Its location is convenient for walks downtown. We were delighted to have access to three serviceable bicycles, which made for a breezy ride through nearby Bidwell Park. We'd definitely return.

Amazing location, lovely house and grounds

Cook's garden, rose bushes, and burgeoning loquat and orange trees gave the property a feeling of abundance. The house is homey rather than elegant. The spacious kitchen is great for cooking and family time. And the front porch is cool in the early day, a nice place to sip coffee and meet people on their way to downtown.

Pup's second favorite home

Perfect little Chico house for our returning alumni getaway weekend. Perfect distance to downtown restaurants and bars without being in the thick of party houses. We walked everywhere and enjoyed this cute neighborhood. The house was perfect for bringing our dog. The backyard is enclosed and there's a side yard with a nice lawn. They even had a dog bed and dog bowl there. The hosts were very accommodating and made the process easy. I would def stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Brian

Host profile image
I grew up in Chico and have since moved to Lake Tahoe. After much time away, more of my family is returning to Chico so I'd like to keep my house available for friends, family and of course, myself to stay in.

What makes this property unique

I love staying near downtown and being able to hop on my cruiser bike to check out the farmers' market, go for a burger & beer at the iconic Sierra Nevada Brewery or cruise through Bidwell Park and enjoy the cool greenery. Of just wander downtown to hear the Thursday night concert and eat at the food trucks, or partake of the fine cocktails created by our expert, local mixologists.
