Great place to stay!

Stayed for 5 days and it was perfect. It was serene and relaxing out back poolside, and cool and spacious inside. Kitchen was nice and well stocked. Bidwell Park was close for great bike rides either downtown or throughout the park, or both! Great communication with the host. Would definitely stay again.

Great House for Chico State Visitors!

We used this house as our home base for the 2024 Chico State Parent weekend. We were up visiting our Freshman daughter. It was an excellent location and was perfect for the occasion. Great communication from the host and just a great overall experience. Would recommend for families looking for a similar type of visit to Chico!

Celebrating in Chico

This home served as the gathering point for two families in celebration of grandmas 70th birthday. It was the perfect venue providing ample room for young and old. The pool was refreshing and the neighborhood walk each evening, when it cooled down, was terrific.

Clean & Comfortable

We stayed here fir my husbands birthday. The house was very clean and had all the amenities for a good time. It was lovely to have local family visit and use the pool. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for our party of 5. The hosts were communicative and friendly. We would love to stay here again.

Perfect Home for All Ages

We loved everything from the booking to the end of our stay. I’ve never dealt with such a warm, hospitable host as Stephanie. They have thought of everything for their home, even supplying a lighter for the bbq and an ice chest out by the pool. The beds were super comfy and we all had a wonderful time. I will definitely want this home again on our next visit to Chico.

First off the hosts were extremely friendly and communicative. Very kind and offered lots of helpful tips and suggestions for around the house and in town. The vrbo was immaculate, clean, and had everything you needed to cook, bbq, and more. The house really felt like home and the beds were also super comfortable. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this place to others!

Multigenerational post COVID pandemic lockdown family reunion.

Ideal size and location for our local family members to meet here at central location to join us for gatherings when we fly in from Florida. The children from 5-22 really enjoyed the time we spent together. We are all looking forward to a summer visit .hosts are professional and friendly. Thank you Stephanie

Graduation Vacation!

We live in town, but we had friends and family visiting for the high school graduation of our son. This weekend getaway was a wonderful place to celebrate! The house is centrally located in town and even more beautiful than it looks in the photos. We had an amazing time barbecuing, swimming, and socializing, and the inside of the house slept our visiting family comfortably. Great communication with the host. Thank you for the perfect send-off venue for our youngest.

Home away from home

This is our second time staying at the house and we booked our trip while sitting by the pool during our last visit. We loved it so much. The house is clean and comfortable. You feel like you’re at a friend’s house or your favorite aunts house. It’s not barely furnished with four forks and knives. It’s a fully loaded kitchen, two ice chests by the pool, big soft couches, games, first aid kit, everything in the house is meant for your use. The owner is so nice and helpful. The communication was perfect. I can’t recommend this house enough.

My mom, my cousins, and I stayed at the house, and other family who were in town for a family event were able to drop in easily. We shared meals together (kitchen had everything we could need!) and had fun splashing and relaxing in the pool and backyard. Very comfortable and hospitable.
