House was very comfortable for 2 couples, and would be great for a family with kids. It's clean and well furnished. Neighborhood is quiet, and close to Bidwell Park, downtown, and Chico State. Plenty of street parking.

Hosts were fantastic! The house was stocked with snacks and necessities. We were close enough to downtown to walk to food and coffee and parks, but far enough away from the crazy night life. Would highly recommend!

The hosts were wonderful - quick excellent communication It was a beautiful home and great location to the school and park. The kitchen was well stocked, living room was very comfortable. Choice of three different bed types, soft, med, hard, between the three rooms. Parking is on the street but right out front of the house on a fairly quiet street. Look forward to staying there again!

We always live staying in this beautiful cottage. We've stayed here several times and it honestly almost feels like a 2nd home at this point. It has everything thing you need to enjoy a nice visit to Chici, and is within walking distance to just about everything. We will definitley stay again in the future!

Our stay was over Christmas Annie decorated and made the house feel warm and cozy. Having a wonderful kitchen, we enjoyed making Christmas cookies with our family. The location is perfect between waking in the park and into downtown. We look forward to enjoying the backyard next time we stay in the summer Thank you for everything
