The hosts have obviously put a lot of thought into every aspect of the house and of the guest experience. You feel welcomed and cared for the minute you walk through the door.
Our stay was wonderful! The bungalow was well appointed and perfect as the home base for our visit. Communication with Lilly was easy and timely. Would definitely stay again!
We needed additional space from “Grandma’s” to spend Christmas and this was the perfect spot. The hosts have clearly spent a lot of extra effort to add thoughtful touches throughout that made for a cozier and easier stay. The location was convenient- easy walk into town.
Perfectly located, charming bungalow with everything you need for your family (dog included). Could not be more convenient.

Thank you so much, Heidi! We're so glad you and your family (including your dog) had a great time at the bungalow. It's wonderful to hear that the location and amenities were perfect for your stay. We hope to host you again soon!
Perfect bungalow located blocks away from Downtown Davis. Cozy space with area to play board games, relax indoors, on front porch or in creatively lit backyard.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the YOLO bungalow. It was spotlessly clean, in a great location, and had loads of extra little touches that made it feel like home. The earplugs and white noise machines were wonderful to alleviate the noise from the trains, and the snacks and chilled water were very welcome after a long drive! We would definitely stay here again.

Darling place. Love all the little touches
It sees as if someone really cares.
We were in Davis as a stopover for work and to see UC student relatives. We cooked a dinner for the group and the kitchen had all we needed and more. The owners' attention to detail is fantastic: many extras for cooking, snacks, pet needs, toiletries, etc. Above and beyond! The house is very organized and clean. There are businesses across the street, but parking wasn't an issue in the evening, and one can park behind the gated part of the driveway that locks. Lovely backyard and pet-friendly. Highly recommend when Davis-bound.
