About this property

Downtown Rustic Roots

**Newly Listed!!
Completely remodeled Original 1910 home with all the Chico style! You're going to love the attention to detail including the beautiful touches on this remodel with a rustic farmhouse decor! When not enjoying the nice A/c on a summer day inside you can relax outside with a morning cup of coffee or an afternoon Farmers/Sierra Nevada beer on the decorative patio table. Or enjoy you beverage and share evening stories at the gas fire pit! And if that wasn't enough you can fill your downtime practicing your short game on the mini golf putting green! Inside the home there are 2 bedroom, one with a queen bed and another with a king bed. Brand new washer and dryer in the unit, new appliances and furniture! We love this property because it is so close to downtown! Only 3 blocks away to all the nightlife, restaurants and bars! If you are more of a Nature person, Chico's famous 1 mile park is only a few short blocks away as well!

The house is a split level home with a separate upstairs unit. There are about 6 stairs to g down to enter the unit. The upstairs has it's own separate entrance and side yard on the other side.

    The place was cute and clean. Good communication from host. The only complaint would be how the noise from upstairs carried through to our downstairs unit.

    I will totally rent this place again.Very clean, well equipped, excellent rental, great location.Only knock is that it’s an old house so it’s not very well insulated between the upstairs and downstairs. Every step the occupants take above you is very noisy. I could even hear the occupant snore in the room above.

    The floorboard is loose and coming up in the master bedroom near the door. Another safety issue is the shower tub is very slippery. Both of these things need to be attended to ASAP.

    Great ammenites

    Very clean, spacious with fun ammenities, Grill, Firepit, and mini golf putting green.Property Manager was super responsive. Only down side is the noise level- this is a basemet apartment. You can hear the above renters and the street is very busy at night. Probably more appropriate for college age renters.

    Primo Chico!

    I recently had an excellent opportunity to attend an arts event in Chico and needed a clean and well-located place to stay. Wow! Did I find the perfect spot! This dwelling in Central Chico simply cannot be beat. First off, it is absolutely immaculate. The renovations to the home were done with a high level of expertise and the materials, furniture and style are of excellent quality. All the appliances appear to be brand new as well. You would be hard-pressed to find a better place for a long weekend or more that is located near CSU Chico and the always great Downtown Chico!

    About the host

    Hosted by Vaden Hoffmanan

    Host profile image
    I am originally from Humboldt County but my family relocated to Chico about 10 years ago. We love this city, the parks, the nightlife, the restaurants and all that Chico has to offer!

    Why they chose this property

    Great location close to downtown and walkable to Bidwell park! Once you arrive you may not need to drive your entire stay!

    What makes this property unique

    This is a newly remodeled home! We completely gutted the property and redid EVERYTHING! It's full of love and care as my husband and father did 90% of all the work.
