Wonderful little house in a great location

This was the perfect place to stay while we found an apartment for our child who's starting at Chico in the fall. Easy access to everything and a great little place to relax and unwind at the end of each day.

Perfect spot to visit Chico State

My son was previewing Chico State for the weekend and this adorable bungalow was just what we needed. Cute, clean, and a 12 minute walk to the college through the picturesque Main St. adorable shops and restaurants everywhere! If my son picks Chico, it may become my regular place to stay!

Cute house on busy road

Our stay was wonderful. The house was exactly like pictures, very clean and updated. The bikes were an awesome amenity. My only downside was the busy street with kids but the back yard was a great place to hang out. Very well stocked with things you may need.

What a Vrbo should be like!

Communication with the host was fantastic! Check-in process was extremely satisfying and EASY. From the pictures for the property, our expectations matched what we wanted and more. Everything was top notch clean and organized! Amazing location and easy access to a great area. I gotta say, properties like this are hard to find. Definitely worth the stay!!!

Convenient location

Comfortable place to stay. Girlfriends and I rented this place to decorate for a baby shower at a location in Biggs CA. It worked out beautifully. So close to downtown and the menu recommendations were awesome to review the menu and decide our meal plans. The only downside was no coffee pot for regular coffee. They had a pod coffee pot.

Lovey location

We loved our stay at this property in Chico! Walking distance to everything but our favorites to highlight are going Schubert’s and the farmer’s market. Parking was plentiful on the street side. The space was very clean. Each room had ceiling fans and air conditioning units. Thank you Deserae for being a wonderful host! We would love to stay here again the next time we visit.

About the host

Host profile image

We are a husband and wife team who likes to get our hands dirty. We love to work hard and play even harder. We met in Jackson Hole Wyoming where my husband was a whitewater raft guide from the East Coast. He followed me to NorCal and quickly fell in love with Chico Ca. So here we are, working, having adventures and raising 2 beautiful girls. We have always loved to travel and would much rather stay in an VRBO than a hotel. We can’t wait to share all the many things we love about Chico with all of our guests.
