Perfect stay at this Chico beauty!

We had such a wonderful time visiting our old stomping grounds! And this property was a perfect place to take a walk down memory lane. Annie was unbelievably helpful and very quick to respond. We will definitely be back next time we are passing through!

Weekend with North State Symphony

This house was perfect location. We walked to the food coop and had breakfast across the street. We sat in the back yard for our breakfast coffee and tea. It was a great place to relax after a very structured weekend.

Perfect for an alumni trip!

Safe location, everything you need and more in the house and host was so quickly to communicate. There were tons of pamphlets on things to do in town if you aren't familiar with chico. Would absolutely stay again when we come back.

Great Location beautiful house

I was with a college friend, and we were visiting another friend in Chico. This house was sooo nice and fit our needs perfectly. We were there fro 108 degree weather and the house remained cool and pleasant. The host -- Annie was very responsive. the location was ideal.. near to downtown. Highly recommend.
