Charming indeed!

The Chico Charmer is a lovely little house with comfortable beds, a great patio area out back and a location that quiets down nicely at night. It's an easy walk to downtown food and drinks too! Clean, comfortable and near the park, it was a great base for our visit to Chico. We'll book again next time we're in that part of California!

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.

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.
