Parkside Cottage on Bidwell Park! Enjoy the trails and perfect location to all!

Park living at your doorstep! This updated 500 sq ft Cottage offers the ideal central location on Bidwell Park yet just minutes from Downtown Chico via bike or car. Shopping, restaurants and basically anywhere you are going is 10 minutes or less from the cottages location. This private cottage allows a relaxing space with driveway parking, enclosed back patio, split system heat and AC,. full kitchen with all you should need (ask us if not and we will hook you up), 2 TV's that have MAX, Disney plus, Paramount, and Prime, large walk in closet and more! As for us, we are in the 3 story home next door and will rarely see you due to how we set up the cottage and our other vacation rental on the other side. We respect your privacy yet are here for anything if needed. We have provided our top suggestions in our guidebook from everything including coffee and dining, to sightseeing and shopping. Experience Chico like a local with a pair of beach cruisers, included with your stay that our located behind the Treehouse unit over the garage.
Bidwell Park is Chico’s jewel! With the park as your backyard, you will be immediately transferred to another world as you step into it. With huge sycamore and oak trees surrounding you to the year round creek full of swimming holes, you feel free and away from it all. You will see why The adventures of Robin Hood (1938)used Bidwell Park to film its Sherwood Forest scenes and General John Bidwell decided to make the region home.
We offer an amazing location on Bidwell Park with 2 complimentary beach cruisers that gives you quick access to Downtown Chico (6 minutes), One Mile Pool (3 minutes), the Chico Mall (5 minutes), 5 Mile Pool ( 7 minutes), and Upper Park (15 minutes) .

Beautiful Creek
This place is exactly what it promises: available host when needed with a good sense of humor, downtown Chico very close, but the best is the access (behind the house!) to Chico Creek with walk and bike way for miles. Nice neighborhood and nice people all around! We will definitely stay here again when and if we return!

Worth It
This small home is near the park, but also near a noisy highway. The traffic did not bother us too much, but I was surprised by it. The batteries were low in the remote control for the TV, and several light bulbs were burned out. It was easy to communicate with the owner, but it would be nice for those kinds of things to be checked ahead of time. Chico is a lovely, friendly city and staying here was affordable and convenient. Even our dogs were allowed, and there is a little yard in the back.

3rd times a charm
This was our 2nd stay in this property and it once again didn’t disappoint. Charming, clean, cozy, comfortable, excellent location, close to everything including the freeway which you cannot really hear from this rental. The communication with the owner was effortless and prompt … once again, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. See ya next year and know that the 3rd time will be a charm too.

Was fine for our stay.
Nice area for our dog in back. Bed too noisy. Not familiar with the TV but had books with us. The shower was really small.

Clean, easy access to park for walking and biking. Easy access to freeway and college. Loved to be able to sit outside with coffee and have a private drive for car

Very convenient location. Everything you need, nothing you don't.
All the essentials are covered. Perfect for a business trip, or a short visit. Not exactly a vacation rental. The shower is pretty small and the bed is super creaky! Would be nice if there was a washer/drier, but this is why this place is perfect for a short visit. It has everything you need, without all the little extras that ultimately just add up to a more expensive room.
