About this property
Updated Furnished Cottage With New BBQ, spa, and Pool - small pet considered
Outside The Cottage: Beautifully landscaped private, backyard with hot tub, waterfall, palapa, brand new Delta Heat gas grill, and sunny swimming pool! You also have your own furnished deck with fire pit table. We have cornhole boards and badminton for extra fun! Inside: Comfortable and cute, the cottage comes fully furnished: kitchen with Portmeirion dishes inside and special dishes for outdoors. Shell themed silverware, cooking knives, Kitchen Aid Mixer, Cuisinart, blender, Keurig coffee maker, with pods provided, non-stick pots and pans, mixing bowls and a new Samsung gas stove. Extra rolls of paper towels and new sponges are provided as are any cleaning supplies you may need. Dish soap and liquid hand soap are also stocked. The wall unit is a mini split and provides heat and air conditioning. There is a ceiling fan in the living room and bedroom plus portable fans for additional air circulation in the summer time. Soaps, towels, razors, hand lotion, puzzle books and pencils are stashed in the bathroom along with extra t.p. and Kleenex. There is also a stacked washer/dryer with laundry soap provided, built-in ironing board (I know, who irons?), iron, spray starch, queen sized bed (additional inflatable bed)… dog treats. I provide snacks, drinks, bread, eggs, butter and condiments upon your arrival, and am also happy to pick up specific items you may want. There is also coffee, tea, and coca, mix for hot drinks. The 50” T.V. with sound bar has cable, Netflix, Hulu plus, and Disney. I know I can’t live without my computer, and I wouldn’t expect you to live without yours either, so WiFi is included, and it’s fast! There is also a nice stereo in the living room with CD, cassette and AM/FM. I didn’t think the CD part worked, but one of the guests said it did… I keep forgetting to test it… so it might. But the FM/cassette is great for sure! The area is well-lit at night with special lights scattered throughout. Your large covered deck looks out onto the previous digging grounds for my dachshunds. Sadly, I only have one left, but he’s a sweetie and would love it if you gave him a treat (we stock the cottage with treats).
If you are bringing a dog (25 lbs or less only), we will work out a system to have yours out and mine in and visa versa.
The heart of Chico is our downtown and it is a mere 5 minutes drive from the Cottage (exactly one-mile). Chico State is also very close and is easier to visit by foot or by bike. The area where I live fronts Big Chico Creek and is a haven for walking, jogging, and biking. Sometimes we’re able to accommodate an early check in request, or delayed departure. Please check with us the day before your stay to check if this is available. Thank you for taking the time to read this rather lengthy description…peace, love, and wiener dogs, Darcy & Steve

The cottage is a really nice place to stay very relaxing setting . The hosts were awesome took very good care of us and there property made it a very relaxing time for us .
Been two years since we stayed, they had some small updates to furniture, and it did not complain. Hot tub always delightful, comforts of a small home and cozy. Perfect stay for my wife and I.
I am thankful for the owners to open up their oasis to me. The BBQ and hot tub made the trip. The experience in one word, "abundance". The extra attention to detail made it feel like home.I will stay here again.
We were warmly greeted by our hosts Steve and Darcy. Lovely small cottage with nice amenities and access to hot tub and pool. Lovely yard and patio to rest and relax before and after our granddaughter's wedding We would highly recommend a stay.
This is a very lovely cozy safe and well stocked cottage. Darcy and Steve are very accommodating and welcoming. Highly recommend. Also love the wiener dogs and their brother Charly.
Super cozy and clean spot! Location was perfect, near downtown Chico. Hot tub was a major plus! Would definitely recommend this location if you are looking to take a trip!
Thank you so much!
This is one of the nicest places I've stayed. The cottage is lovely and fully setup for your stay. The yard and pool are awesome. The hosts are great and the pups are the best. If you are coming to Chico, this is where you want to stay.
This was our 2nd time staying in this cottage. It is so incredibly cute and cozy. It is spacious and well appointed, and Darcy and Steve are super friendly hosts. The hot tub is top-notch. The doggies, if you get to meet them, are very sweet. The location is also very convenient to downtown and campus. The beauty of Bidwell Park is just a short drive.
Darcy and Steve were wonderful hosts. The property is nice, the pool was cool, the dogs were adorable. As a guest, you do get a lot more than you realize. The backyard is gorgeous with the pool, multiple seating options, even the grill was nice but the house feels very comfortable. It was a very nice stay. Even if you're only there for a few days, it’s worth it. Also, they're in downtown Chico. We didnt have to go far for anything.
Second time me and my bf stayed here. Wonderful hosts. Lovely dogs. Cottage is clean. Has everything you could dream of. Stocked with lovely snacks and drinks by the host. Local bread, cookies. Keurig was wonderful stocked with pods. Bathroom is big. Stocked with plenty of essentials. Queen bed is comfortable. Always sleep well here. Large yard. We utilized the bbq. Pool is great. Hot tub on site. Had the best time.
Birthday celebration with several small groups of friends over the 3 day stay. Beautiful surroundings and comfortable cottage with everything you need to feel like home.
Hosts harken to an old school Bed and Breakfast-very thoughtful amenities at every turn. Eggs and cinnamon bread, fresh cookies and all condiments were provided! From a nice array of body washes, to ziplocks for your leftovers- everything was taken care of. Oh and a first for me, high quality, unscratched non-stick pans!
It was perfect! It was close to The university. Very private on a quiet street. The house itself was beautiful. The owner made sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Our son will be in school for another three years and this is where we will stay in the future when we visit.
My husband and I couldn’t be happier with this hidden gem. We arrived and were met with welcoming hosts, well stocked amenities (including some cookies, local baked English muffins and beverages) and it was the perfect space for two plus our ‘pre-approved’ fur baby. Everything was clean, well organized and thoughtful. The bed was super comfortable. It rained over the weekend or we would’ve sit and had our morning coffee on the deck and perhaps hit the pool or hot tub. We will definitely book again!
We loved staying with Darcy! The cottage was a great size for two people. We enjoyed cooking meals, watching cable TV, and soaking in the hot tub. Charlie and Mem were sweethearts and greeted us only after we made an appearance. Downtown was an easy walk. We ran into Darcy during check-in, and she offered us a tour which we took: having a walk through with the amenities and space was so helpful. We talked about staying here again. 10/10.
Cute place. They provide a very nice stash of snacks and basic breakfast food, which is above and beyond what you get at most rentals. Close to campus but a rural street. It is nice they let us bring our dog along. Note: Their dogs are not friendly to other dogs and barked at ours, however, sharing the yard just required some coordination.
The water features are all around. Hot tub, pool, and fountains. Lovely hosts and K9's. We had such a wonderful time!
The cottage is charming inside and out. Everything you need and cute as can be. Plus a perfect porch. We were here for an event but would come just to hang out.
Not one to gush most of the time, I could go on and on about this property. We simply loved it!
