BIDWELL PARK BUNGALOW

Located in the heart of Chico, one block from beautiful Bidwell Park and a short walk to downtown, this charming, newly-renovated bungalow offers everything you need for a relaxing and fun-filled getaway. Whether you're sipping coffee on the front porch or trying your hand at bocce ball in the backyard under the twinkle lights, this sweet, completely redone 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home provides a clean and comfortable place for you to enjoy all that Chico has to offer. Be sure to check out the legendary jukebox from Duffy's Bar in downtown Chico, given to us as a wedding present! Grab the beach chairs and head to One-Mile, the local swimming park just a couple of blocks away. Or hop on a beach cruiser bike and take a ride through tree-lined streets, just a few blocks to the heart of downtown Chico. With thoughtful amenities and cozy details, you’ll feel right at home here! Plenty of street parking directly in front of the house.

We came up to Chico to visit out daughter at Chico State and this house was just perfect for our family. Great location, clean, comfortable and a great back yard for BBQ and Bocce hang out. Close to everything, we could walk to get coffee and have breakfast. We will stay here again.

Great spot !
We loved the location we could ride to Bidwell Park and swim at 1 mile- loved having bikes for adults to use. Close to downtown for live music and restaurants. The home was clean and the backyard was perfect for kids and dogs to play.

Perfect Bungalow
We loved our stay at the Bidwell Bungalow. Super cozy and the perfect location for exploring Chico within walking distance of downtown and Bidwell park. The property was super clean and had everything we needed for a super pleasure stay. No hassle check in. We loved the bocce setup and patio area. We definitely will stay here again on our next trip to Chico.

Visiting family & friends Enjoying old memories and making new ones.
Love the history and vibe of this Chico cottage. I fell in love with the old redwood trees in the neighborhood and we enjoyed the walk to get ice cream a few times. A perfect place to stay for all our Chico adventures.

Quick trip for an alumni event
My husband and I stayed here for a weekend trip. The location is great, right by Bidwell Park! The house had everything we needed. The yard was really awesome, unfortunately it rained for much of our time there, but we hope to come back back when it's warm and would definitely stay here again.

Cozy Bidwell Bungalow
My teenage daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bidwell Bungalow! The house is walking distance to downtown and the park which makes it really fun and easy to get around town. The best part (for me) was playing the old Duffy's jukebox when I was hanging out in the house! I would definitely book this house again!

Blissful Bungalow
This home was a perfect fit for our family. We spend most of our time visiting with our Chico/Paradise family and friends. But when we came back to the Bungalow it was bright, clean and an easy place to relax and rest.

Fresh OJ!
This was a nice place to stay, the only drawback was the lack of parking-it’s a tight squeeze to get it out on the drivers side without getting hit by on coming traffic!

All about the location
I enjoyed my 3 night stay at the cottage. The location is fantastic and very close to Bidwell park, downtown and the state college. My only disappointment was that the backyard was overgrown with weeds and not well cared for.

annual summer Chico visit
The street parking is a little less that desired but not a big deal for us and the back bedroom gets pretty warm during the summer months but the fans help a lot. We enjoy the outside seating a ton on the cooler mornings and the jukebox is so FUN! Location is perfect for walks in Bidwell or to downtown.

Great stay at the bungalow
This is a beautifully remodeled older home. We appreciated the opportunity to bring our small dogs, and had some great walks in Bidwell Park just a couple blocks away. As mentioned in other reviews, we also had some difficulties with the heaters, but it did not impact our stay and we will be looking to rent this property again next year. Well stocked with essentials, great patio area, and VERY clean. Thank you to the hosts for an exceptional stay!
