Wonderful stay and just as described
The room was great and furnishings made it seem like a home away from home. My wife and I enjoyed the warm cozy feel of the property and for our stay it was centrally located from Chico State and Bidwell Park and the hikes that we wanted to do. Will definitely be staying here again.

Highly recommend. Tiffany, the host, went above and beyond accommodating us even though it was a major holiday. The place itself is cute, clean, cozy and peaceful. You can't go wrong here.

Cute, quaint and quiet
This is a cute, renovated inn that has great proximity to downtown and a neat, new neighborhood called Meriam Park. They are also situated close to Bidwell Park. Room was clean, everything needed was provided. No TV, which wasn’t an issue for us, but might be if you have children with you. Quick drive in to downtown, Bidwell, Mariam park- all with good dining and activity options. Would definitely stay again!

Adorable
This place was perfect for me. Visited family nearby, so just needed a room. This place was perfect—studio apartment sized, comfortable furnishings, very neat and clean. Loved my week stay here and will use it again.

Great Chico VRBO property!
Wonderful, super cute, and close to downtown Chico little get away! Great communication with the owner, Tiffany, too. She gave easy to understand directions, parking instructions, and checking in was easy! We had a very pleasant stay!

Located near Bidwell Park
Location was very quiet just on outskirt of town with good directions from host. Host was responsive with my questions. Size of studio was great. Controls for Hvac set by host and no way to control it for my own comfort except to contact her. King bed a little tired, so firmness uneven. Overall it worked for my short stay.

Such a cute property with a comfy bed!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here Tiffany was awesome and quick to respond with questions. What cute grounds. Great little garden growing in front with big artichokes! Our upstairs room was so comfy, spacious and nicely decorated. The AC was wonderful! And made it so much more comfy! No problem with wifi always a bonus!! We will definitely be back here next time visiting our son in Chico!!

Quiet and clean
I’ve stayed here a few times. The rooms are clean. Furnishings are simple and pleasant. Jim and Tammy and Fiona are quite nice and responsive. Left my extra set of car keys once. They were good enough to send them to me.
I will stay there again.
