Beautiful setting

Good location and we enjoyed our daily morning walks around the neighborhood. Our favorite aspect of our stay was lounging in the backyard looking at the glorious redwood trees while listening to the waterfall! (And fun frogs croaking at night) The views from the comfortable upstairs suite were a bonus!

Lovely Space

Our weekend stay in Chico at Dot's Place was lovely. The home is spacious and comfortable. We loved the thick plush carpeting and the comfortable bedding. The location was great - about a 5 minute drive to downtown, but in a neighborhood that was very quiet and felt charmingly secluded. We didn't spend anytime in the pool/hot tub, but the backyard space looked highly inviting. We would absolutely stay again!

Beautiful house with big back yard paradise!

We loved the house. Lots of space for everyone.The backyard is especially nice with shaded seating, a beautiful swimming pool and hot tub. I loved staring up at the redwood trees while soaking in the tub. The house was supplied with everything we needed. Very comfortable and clean.

Beautiful Home, perfect for families and friends!

We rented this beautiful home for a birthday weekend getaway. The entire process was easy and communication was excellent. This home is centrally located for downtown dinners and events. Amazing backyard, with hot tub…living room fireplace made for a cozy Friday night. We loved it here and will be back in summer when we can use the pool! Highly recommended!

Relaxing Home

This house had all we needed to enjoy some family time. The fenced in yard is huge, the pool was delightful in the hot weather, the hot tub is big and access is easy to everything. The beds were extremely comfortable, the place was clean and the garage space is an added feature for older kids to hang out or family entertainment The location was perfect close enough to Safeway, but still out in the country feel The big u shaped leather couch held all of us and we enjoyed access to several movies and shows We BBQed or went out not using too much of the kitchen appliances, but everything we did use was good. Totally enjoyed and relaxed at this home

Retro reunion

Definitely a retro feel in an older neighborhood but a well built, well loved house. It was very comfortable and well equipped. Loved the landscaping and the hot tub. Would have loved the pool but it was too cold to get in. Would definitely stay there again.

Girls get-away

My friends and I had a lovely weekend at this property. It was comfortable and checked all of our boxes! It would have been nice to increase the heat on the hot tub but it was locked and we were unable to bypass. We understood it was set at 98 for the summer but the evening was chilly so we were a little disappointed. Nonetheless, this did not effect our rating of the property.

Another Great Stay at Dot's House

We had a great time during our second stay at Dot's house. The house is clean, well maintained, has a great backyard and is in a wonderful, quiet neighborhood. Laurie is super responsive to any questions or issues that come up -- you can tell that she and her family care about the property and want everyone to have a great time there. My family is looking forward to another stay at Dot's house next summer!

Chico wedding

We had such a great stay at Dot’s house!! This house is even better than the pictures online!! So many small touches that bring comfort, rest, and joy. They literally thought of everything. Super comfy beds, awesome cozy ambience and space to hang out and visit. The area is beautiful as is every view—even from the upstairs shower! Amazing. If I ever need to stay in Chico again, I will book here again.

Nice house, but pool was gross

The house was really nice but the pool was in terrible shape and the listing showed that the house slept 11 but it only slept 9. The pool was so disgusting you could barely see the bottom of it and we spent three days cleaning and treating the pool as we had two certified pool cleaners on this trip. By our second to last day there the pool was crystal clear and looked like it should. The pool light was also out so that hindered Night Swimming. A pool repair guy showed up on Friday (we got there on Wednesday) and said that he had a pool light and could replace it but only if one of us would help him. We said okay because we wanted to be able to use the pool at night. He was there for about an hour and then ended up saying that he couldn't fix the pool and he would be back the next morning and then never showed back up. The towels in the home were super limited and we had to do laundry every day. We had eight people and they only supplied us with five pool towels and seven bath towels. I had to call the property manager and have her come get us some more towels out. The listing says the house sleeps 11 but there are only two queens, one king, a pull-out bed and a cot out in the middle of the hallway outside the master bedroom door. Luckily we only had eight people but I asked about where the other pull out couch was and they said oh there's just a air mattress in the cubby hole. I feel like we should get a discount for working on their pool all week. Even the pm was amazed and

Great Chico Property -- Highly Recommended!

My family had a wonderful time staying at Dot's house in August 2023. The house was clean and spacious, and the outdoor space is fantastic (pool, lounges, indoor-outdoor game room, etc.). It's on a very quiet street but also not far from downtown Chico and places like Safeway and Walgreens. We recommend it without reservation -- we're looking forward to staying there again during our next trip to Chico!

Alumni gathering

this rental & it's location was ideal for our alumni gathering. communication between laurie/sarah was prompt & helpful. the description of the rental (as well as the comments in the reviews) are accurate & not overstated. i think it would be helpful to note that the room w/the player piano/sofa bed actually has doors (although it is in the common space, you can close yourself off to the rest of the house). our alumni gathering was a huge success-a good time was had by all-good company, nice ambiance (w/the exception of the very loud croaking frogs in the backyard in the evening), enough seating & backyard games.

Perfect place to stay with family

Our family had a great time swimming, relaxing in the hot tub under the redwood trees, playing cornhole, grilling, and enjoying the beautiful property. This home is located in a nice neighborhood and is close to a store. The bedding was comfortable and the home was stocked with everything we needed. Thank you for a great place to stay.

Why they chose this property

This listing is posted in honor of our mom, Dorothy Sweeney. We’ve worked hard make this home a stylish, comfortable and super fun environment for you to enjoy with family and friends.

What makes this property unique

First and foremost, Dot’s is truly a custom home on one of Chico’s favorites streets only 5 minutes from Downtown. Everything about Dot's has been curated for the distinctive couple or family seeking a unique experience to gather and entertain. 12 towering redwoods, a custom pool and spa, a theater, corn hole, darts, Webber gas BBQ, outdoor fire ring with propane heat lamps, 3 giants TVs (1 outdoor on the patio), a community park directly next door and Chico Creek directly across the street are just some of the features to enjoy during your stay. The interior renovation of Dot’s called for new carpets, paints and oak floors, new air conditioning, new appliances, new furnishings, dishwater, flatware, barware and kitchen accessories. Virtually no stone was left unturned to provide our guests with the best experience imaginable. Dot’s 8 custom stained glass pieces by Chico artist Mick Needham add to the special character of the home. Upstairs in the giant master suite our guests will enjoy a king bed, hotel linens, outdoor patio, spa soaking tub and custom tile work unseen in current modern construction. Everything has been done to make your stay a memorable event at Dot's. Lastly, Dot's player piano is still at the home with lots of classics, showtimes and favorites for you musical enjoyment.
