A little slice of heaven
My husband and I both went to Chico and decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary there (along with our 3 yr old and 8 month old). The house is adorable, surprisingly big! And the yard (which isn't pictured) is great as well. Perfect location walking distance to everything. Only suggestion is to set up one of the bedrooms with a King bed! We can't wait to go back and visit.

Great spot in Chico, near DT and campus
We were in Chico for a wedding and were lucky to find this gem. Darling house walkable to downtown - interior was well appointed, beds comfy and nice big kitchen. Was a much better alternative than a hotel as we had space to hang out, highly recommend!

We were in Chico to pack up my daughter and loved how close the house is to the CSUChico. Very spacious with an outdoor seating area in the back. Annie was there cleaning leaves that had fallen to make sure we could enjoy the back yard which we did with a glass of wine. Very responsive to a few questions we had. Loved the little extras like the snacks and the ice cream coupons. We have three years left to visit the area and will definately stay again.

Craftsman bungalow with good bones
Bidwell Bijou is a beautiful craftsman house remodeled for the modern day. Furnishings are good if a bit spare. Location is fantastic. Those who wish to cook in the “gourmet” kitchen will find it under supplied, but if all you need is a microwave and a coffeemaker, this is a great place. Everything was exceptionally clean, and beds were comfortable.

Excellent choice for a Chico get-away
We stayed at the Bidwell Bijou for a girls’ weekend. It’s a lovely, spacious home with all the amenities one would hope for. The location makes it so easy to walk or run through Bidwell Park and access many of the shops and restaurants in the downtown area. Plus: Easy and friendly communication with owners.

Charming cottage in lovely neighborhood.
The Bidwell Bijou served as the perfect home base for myself and a cadre of co-workers who were teaching at CSU-Chico. It was an easy 15 minute walk to campus through a lovely neighborhood of old homes and tall trees. Our house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. It was the perfect place to unwind after work and to plan for the next day. The owner was very responsive. I highly recommend this place!

Charming Chico house close to beautiful Bidwell Park
House is beautifully renovated, has all amenities needed for a memorable stay. 3 bedrooms all queen beds were a plus. Back yard needs trimming and outdoor furniture was coated with dust and ash from NorCal fires. Love the close proximity to Bidwell Park, Saturday Farmers Market, downtown Chico's many quaint shops and local restaurants. We would love to rent this home again. Only thing missing are some bikes in the garage to ride through the park
