Great stay for visiting family

Relatives visiting from out of town enjoyed their stay at the carriage house. And the owners were very helpful when I accidentally booked the wrong dates. Would definitely book here again.

Lovely Place

The cottage above the garage is quite comfortable. The beds are quite good. The covered poolside tables were excellent and the greenery of the yard made you forget you were in a subdivision. The Wi-Fi was not very good (it didn’t show up on my iPhone) and the house photo is a bit misleading I did enjoy the stay and would recommend it for those looking to simply disconnect in a wonderful setting

Vintage character with modern update

The vintage charm of the carriage house coupled with a fresh modern update was perfect. The kitchen is small but well-equipped; the bathroom was so fresh and clean. The bedroom area is huge with 2 beds, a sofa and coffee table, and TV. The large windows let in lots of natural light. There was an ample walk-in closet for storage. Mike happened to be working in the outdoor garden area when we arrived. He was so friendly and welcoming and the gardens are magnificent. The home sits across the street from lower Bidwell Park - perfect to take a walk. Downtown and other areas of Chico are just a few minutes away. Fantastic place - definitely would book again.

Weekend get away

The Carriage House was the perfect place to stay and enjoy a weekend of exploring Chico. The house is cozy and adorable, especially the kitchen, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed walking in Boswell Park and found many wonderful things at the Farmer’s Market. Touring the Bidwell Mansion was also a highlight. Overall it was an excellent adventure
