We do our best to work around our guests schedule but harvest is time sensitive and weather dependent.

Very nice clean cottage. Everything was perfect and very well throughout! Peaceful location away from the noise of the city, yet close enough 5 minutes to shopping and dining. Highly recommend, everything you need is included.
Adorably decorated! Surrounded by quiet walnut orchards. Special thought went in to accommodating guests. I loved this BnB. Great hosts! We will be back and encourage others to rent this lovely place!
Convenient location (about 2 miles) from Chico State. Relaxing, quiet area with hundreds of walnut trees outside your back door, nice little sitting area outside.
Very cute, clean and comfortable spot! The host has all the necessities, the decor is simple but totally perfect for the spot. The in person looks just like the photos. There was a minor hiccup that the host was quick to respond to. Just know, if you stay here, you are in the country! Dirt driveways and pathways. If you’re visiting during the winter, be sure to bring good shoes to walk around outside. I would definitely stay again.
We had a nice last minute stay with our dog. Was dark on arrival but good directions where to park and how to access were provided.

We are confused about receiving a 4 star review from Tracy especially because we left exterior and interior lights on for her when we heard she would be arriving late. Due to our orchard location, it can be dark around the property especially after sunset! Most guests enjoy that we don't have city lights or neighborhood lights at night. The country atmosphere isn’t for everyone I guess.
We were in town for one night and Andrea’s cottage was PERFECT. Adorable, clean, and in a beautiful location. We will absolutely stay again and will be recommending that all of our friends and family do the same.

Thank you Katherine!
We would love to have you again and appreciate the recommendation to your friends and family. So great that you found our cottage to be “PERFECT”! Your positive feedback will help future travelers make this their own go-to place to stay in Chico.
Thanks,
Andrea
This beautifully decorated cottage is a gem!! The orchard setting and the lovely horses and goats nearby were a hit for my 14 year old horse lover. Our stay was guided by Andrea , our warm and generous host!
Overall cottage was great, only constructive feedback i could give is I was not a fan of the bathroom door, bathroom has a barn door that when closed you can still see in the bathroom from sides of the door since the barn door hangs about 2 inches off the wall, other than that great cottage with very good decor. Also very quiet neighborhood and very clean

About the host
Hosted by Andrea & Kristopher
Kris and Andrea have lived in Chico since the early 2000's. They met at CSU Chico and decided to make Chico home. They love being a part of the Chico agriculture community. If they aren't working at the farmhouse and cottage, they are with their two young sons enjoying outdoors or sports.
Why they chose this property
The hosts chose this area of Chico because of the opportunity to grow walnuts. The location gives guest the opportunity to escape the neighborhood and city vibes.
What makes this property unique
The Chandler Farmhouse and Orchard Cottage are unique from many short-term rentals because of its location on a working walnut orchard and it is surrounded with similar properties. It's rural but close to most things that bring guests to Chico.
