About this property

Charming Orchard Cottage…Pet Friendly!!

Located in the Northern California town of Chico, nestled in a walnut orchard, The Chandler Orchard Cottage is a pet friendly 600 sq/ft private studio space that is sure to please.

The cottage offers WIFI access and a 42” Roku TV with streaming capabilities of your favorite entertainment apps.

Detached and private from our main farmhouse, the orchard cottage features its own full kitchen and bathroom. The recently remodeled bathroom has a large shower surrounded by fresh subway tile, a marble topped vanity and a farmhouse style bathroom sink.

The kitchen is stocked with all that you need to prepare meals and includes a refrigerator with freezer and ice maker, a gas range with oven below, a microwave, large sink, a toaster and Keurig with coffee pods . The cottage kitchen has newly painted cabinets, country backsplash tile and butcher block counters.

The cottage has a queen size bed with brand new Lucid brand memory foam mattress and a pull-out queen size sleeper sofa. Please note this is a studio space with no bedrooms. We are happy to prep the sofa bed with enough advanced notice. Sheets and bedding are stocked in closet.

A Pack N' Play with sheet is also in closet.

Air conditioning, ceiling fans and all day shade provided by grand old trees keep this cottage cool during summer months.

French doors open to a shady patio surrounded by seasonal orange trees with views into our Chandler walnut orchard.

Country vibes with close proximity to downtown Chico, CSU Chico, groceries, and the Sacramento River.

Pet friendly. Please mention pet prior to arrival. A $35 pet fee per booking (not per pet) required. Max of 4 well behaved pets. Guests are asked not to leave pets unaccompanied for long periods in the cottage.

Our cottage is located in a walnut orchard. Throughout the year there is minimal activity in the orchard and we generally work around our cottage bookings but you may see or hear mowing, irrigation, trimming durning business hours. Harvest season is in October. Please be advised that we may be harvesting during an October stay. We do our best to work around our guests schedule but harvest is time sensitive and weather dependent.

Need more space? Please check out The Chandler Farmhouse. This grand farmhouse located just steps away from this cottage has room for plenty more guests!!! Please check VRBO for more info and availability. Listing ID 1310908

Great little cottage

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

Wonderful, quaint place with everything you need.

Stayed at the cottage will the rest of my group stayed in the farmhouse. Loved the cottage. Had everything I needed. Was surprised that even during the hottest days, the cottage stayed cool. With the evening breezes, I never had to use air conditioning to be comfortable. Hosts are incredibly responsive to inquiries, gracious and helpful.

Delightful!

Charming, thoughtfully appointed large studio with artful farmhouse decor. Well stocked kitchen, nice water pressure in shower. Very responsive owner. Easy check-in. One piece of advice: if you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs to block out night noises, including refrigerator (ice maker?), train whistles, and early morning traffic. Also be aware that there are no drawers for clothing, just open shelves (the closet does have hangers). I personally did not find any of this off-putting, and definitely would stay again. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Andrea & Kristopher

Host profile image
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.
