Perfect older home, in the best location of Chico. The owner has kept up on maintenance and cleanliness, and the place is stocked with plenty of supplies, dishes, cooking items. We appreciate how much the owner must love this home. It definitely shows! Bidwell Park was a block away, and we walked through it every morning. Only 3 blocks in the opposite direction, is beautiful downtown Chico, with all the restaurants, pubs, and shops you need. We’re originally from Paradise, and survivors of the CampFire. We have been searching for a place to come back to every time we return to the area. After renting several over the last 6 years, we think this house is the one!! Thank you!!!

Everything was very nice. My brother and sister enjoyed their time there very much.

10.0 / 10.0

The home layout can easily handle six comfortably, the jack and Jill bathrooms work great. The large kitchen is great with plenty of utensils for cooking. The dining table is small but since it was just two of us no issue. Nice back deck and front porch.

We enjoyed a delightful stay in the Bidwell Bijou in January. It was a welcome “winter interlude” for us with sunshine and temps in the 60s. We enjoyed wonderful walks in lower and upper Bidwell Park, the farmer’s market, the Museum of Northern CA artists — all within walking distance of this beautifully appointed and comfortable property. We’ll be back soon!

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.

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!

10.0 / 10.0

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.

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.

10.0 / 10.0

This house is exaclty as advertised in a really nice part of Chico, a block from Bidwell park and centrally located. The house was super clean and has a cute back patio not pictured in the listing. Definitely going to stay here again!

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.

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!

This adorable house is from a more charming age but with all the modern conveniences in a perfect location. The character of this house was so welcoming and so timeless that I felt like I was a character in a book being written while I was there. Thank you so much!

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

10.0 / 10.0

This home is amazing on a beautiful street, luxurious kitchen and the whole home is decorated beautifully. Wonderful porch out front and deck in the back along with a garage. Close to downtown and the park. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Chico and would definitely rent again.

Absolutely beautiful property. Located close to downtown, farmers market, the entrance to the park and the college campus. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the front porch in the morning and evening chats out on the back deck. The house has everything you need for a marvelous stay.
