Great for a quick weekend trip. Kids loved the enclosed yard and bocce ball. It was a little loud with road noise but other than that a great place. And the jukebox was awesome.

Charming bungalow, perfect for our family. A plus to be able to bring our dog. Great location and amenities. Had a great weekend visiting our sons who are at Chico State. We all loved being able to hang out, play bocce, and enjoy home cooked meals. Will definitely come back!

Beautiful close to downtown, and Chico State. We were very impressed with “more than” essentials in the kitchen. We bbq-ed on the back patio 2 nights. The Jukebox was so fun to use. We would stay here again!

Beautifully maintained property, very convenient for everything. We were moving our child into Chico State dorms so didn't have much time to enjoy the amenities outside (plus it was HOT!), but the couch was perfect for the relaxation we needed! Bed was very comfortable and we just generally had a really great stay! Hope to come back at some point!

We loved the location we could ride to Bidwell Park and swim at 1 mile- loved having bikes for adults to use. Close to downtown for live music and restaurants. The home was clean and the backyard was perfect for kids and dogs to play.
