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
