Cottage By The Creek

Upgraded this year (2026): New fridge/freezer, gas stove, and Delta Heat grill! The perfect set up for a peaceful, relaxing vacation or your temporary home away from home when working out-of-town. Ideally located, the cottage is 1 mile from downtown, 6 blocks from Enloe Hospital, and a 10 minute walk to Chico State. There is parking, fast internet, cable, queen size bed, hot tub, pool, bbq, corn hole game, breakfast fixings and snacks, spacious deck, fire pit table and outdoor waterfall. The space The cottage isn't just an alternative to a hotel/motel, but rather a truly wonderful experience when you visit our lovely town of Chico. The cottage is a custom built home located behind our house. It accommodates 2 people easily. There is a blow up mattress for a third person, but because access to the bathroom is through the bedroom, you might want the third person to be a family member (there is a $25/night charge for an extra guest). There is a queen size bed with topper in the bedroom and a tub/shower in the bathroom. We are located 1-mile from town and a 10 min. walk to Chico State. Our property fronts Big Chico Creek. The cottage comes fully furnished: Dishes for inside and out, new silverware and non-stick pans, mixer, Cuisinart, and Keurig coffee maker that also accommodates brewed coffee. We supply salt, pepper, condiments, herbs and spices, olive oil and real butter. We start you off with bread or English muffins, cookies, snacks, waters (carbonated and regular), creamer, sugar, and eggs. Extra rolls of paper towels and new sponges are provided as are any cleaning supplies you may need. Dish soap and liquid hand soap are also stocked. We have a mini-split for heat and air conditioning. There is a ceiling fan in the living room and bedroom plus portable fans for additional air circulation in the summer time. The bedroom has an electric fireplace, closet (with hangers), and dresser. Soaps from Bath and Body Works, shampoo, conditioner, towels, razors, room spray, puzzle books and pencils are stashed in the bathroom along with extra t.p., Kleenex and a few first aid supplies. There is also a stacked washer/dryer with laundry soap provided, built-in ironing board (I know, who irons?), iron, and spray starch. There are large pool/spa towels to the right of the washer/dryer. The 50" smart T.V. is set up for local channels via Comcast (HD and expanded channels are new this year), plus subscriptions to Netflix and Amazon. There is also a DVD and VCR player if you care to bring your own tapes. And yes, there is WIFI with booster. I know I can’t live without my computer, and I wouldn’t expect you to live without yours! There is also a nice stereo in the living room with CD, cassette and AM/FM. There are two bicycles with locks and helmets, outdoor dining with furnishings, and a pond-less waterfall feature right outside your door for a relaxing atmosphere. The palapa shades the Outdoor kitchen with BBQ, mini fridge and utensils. The Sundance hot tub and pool (lounge chairs and towels provided) are very popular with our guests. The area is well-lit at night. Your large covered deck looks out onto the digging grounds for my dachshunds. My hope is that someday they will actually catch a gopher! The garden is also here and guests may helps themselves to whatever is ripe. Competing for your attention will be Mem (short for Agamemnon), Obi-Wan and Charlie Girl. They are particularly fond of the treats in the cottage. Feed them, they’re yours! The heart of Chico is our downtown and it is a mere 5 minutes drive from the Cottage (exactly one-mile). Chico State is also very close and is easier to visit by foot or by bike. The area where I live fronts Big Chico Creek and is a haven for walking, jogging, and biking. No maid service unless prearranged. So there you have it… not a cheap alternative to a motel/hotel, but a comparable one, with way more amenities… and the chance to experience Chico as if you lived here! Thank you for taking the time to read this rather lengthy description… we look forward to meeting you… Darcy & Steve Davis-Tully Guest access Pool, BBQ, back yard, garden area, Sundance Hot Tub-pretty much everything! Other things to note There is a large Oak tree dead center in the driveway. There is plenty of room on each side to come and go, but you do need to be careful.
