As for us, we are in the 3 story home next door and will rarely see you due to how we set up the cottage and our other vacation rental on the other side. We respect your privacy yet are here for anything if needed. We have provided our top suggestions in our guidebook from everything including coffee and dining, to sightseeing and shopping.

Bidwell Park is Chico’s jewel! With the park as your backyard, you will be immediately transferred to another world as you step into it. With huge sycamore and oak trees surrounding you to the year round creek full of swimming holes, you feel free and away from it all.

Property was extremely small. Backyard was dirty and not suitable for outdoor use. The second bed was a loveseat that was not appropriate for an adult. Sleep on. Owner did not provide access code. It was a hassle.

Cute little place right off lower Bidwell park. It was right off highway 99 but it was not loud or obnoxious and surprisingly quite 95% of the time. I appreciated the small turffed shaded areas for the dogs, especially since I didn't want to walk them on the 100 degree days on the cement. It has an amazing location and is the perfect place for a single gal with 2 dogs to take refuge from the chaos of graduation weekend. The only negative (which was more a personal preference than a huge downside), was the shower. It was a standing shower but the dual shower head had too much pressure for the small holes the water came out, felt more like little needles than a relaxing shower. Would definitely recommend and stay again as long as they will have us!

Perfect location and well appointed
The little house is in a perfect location. We hit the walking trail first thing in the morning, which was lovely. The house itself has everything you could need. The bed was very comfortable and we had a peaceful night's sleep. We would definitely stay again if ever in the area. The owners are very friendly and accommodating.

Adequate
I will start by saying the owner was very kind and communicative - which we appreciated. And on the positive side it was very clean. That said, this property is not set up for three guests. The fold out love seat futon is not fit for an adult to sleep on. The shower is very very small. Also, while not controlled by the owner; we were without electricity both nights from 8:30 pm for 60 to 120 minutes making it a challenge to get to bed at a decent temperature and hour. While the owner said it was unusual, the rechargeable camping lantern in the middle of the dining room table should have been a clue. So a real mixed experience when our primary need was a comfy place to sleep and shower.

Always Great
This is our 3rd year in a row staying at this property and we will stay there again next year. That alone should tell you all you need to know about the property, the owner, the property manager and the quality of this particular VRBO!
