Fully Furnished Cottage With BBQ And Pool - pet considered

Outside The Cottage:
Wonderfully large, private backyard (i.e., shared with us, but not with any other properties) with hot tub, water feature, palapa, fire pit and Sunny swimming pool! You also have your own furnished deck. We do not share the pool or hot tub with you, those are exclusively yours. We do, however, have to let our dogs out periodically to potty.
Inside:
Comfortable and cute, the cottage comes fully furnished: kitchen with Dansk dishes, silverware, cooking knives, Kitchen Aid Mixer, Cuisinart, blender, Keurig style coffee maker, with pods provided, pots, pans, mixing bowls...gas stove; whatever you may need, it should be there. 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.
The wall unit is a mini split and provides 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.
Soaps, towels, razors, hand lotion, puzzle books and pencils are stashed in the bathroom along with extra t.p. and Kleenex.
There is also a stacked washer/dryer with laundry soap provided, built-in ironing board (I know, who irons?), iron, spray starch, queen sized bed (additional inflatable bed)… dog treats. I provide snacks, drinks, bread, eggs, and seasonal fruit upon your arrival, and am also happy to pick up specific items you may want. There is also coffee, tea, and coca, mix for hot drinks.
The 50” T.V. with sound bar has basic cable, Netflix, Hulu plus, and Amazon. There is also a DVD and VCR player if you care to bring your own tapes. I know I can’t live without my computer, and I wouldn’t expect you to live without yours either, so WiFi is included. There is also a nice stereo in the living room with CD, cassette and AM/FM. I didn’t think the CD part worked, but one of the guests said it did… I keep forgetting to test it… so it might. But the FM/cassette is great for sure!
The area is well-lit at night, and there are tiki torches you can also light if there is little to no breeze.
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 Charlie, Mem (short for Agamemnon), and Obi-Wan. They are particularly fond of the treats in the cottage. Feed them, they’re yours!
If you are bringing a dog (25 lbs or less only), we will work out a system to have yours out and mine in and visa versa. This works well, and during the week mine are used to their outdoor kennel which is where they stay. If you have to leave your dog in the cottage please crate your dog and limit your time away to no more than 4 hours. Also, Chico has fleas, so make sure your dog has been treated for fleas before arrival. If you forget, I have extra - please notify me and we will get him/her treated.
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.
Sometimes we’re able to accommodate an early check in request, or delayed departure. Please check with us the day before your stay to check if this is available.
Thank you for taking the time to read this rather lengthy description…peace, love, and wiener dogs,
Darcy & Steve

Lovely cottage and gracious hosts
Lovely cottage, exactly as described. Clean, well appointed, everything you need for a long or short stay. So charming, beautifully decorated, so homey and comfortable! Our stay happened to be during a long rain, so we didn't get to walk around the area, but the property is well located, and any other time, I know we would have loved walking along the creek. Wrong time of year for a swim and too busy with our visit's purpose to use the hot tub. But we'll enjoy it all next time we stay. And we absolutely will! Such gracious hosts. As friendly and kind as we'd been guests in their home. I just can't be effusive enough with praise for Darcy & Steve's hospitality!

Nice place stocked with food
Cute place. They provide a very nice stash of snacks and basic breakfast food, which is above and beyond what you get at most rentals. Close to campus but a rural street. It is nice they let us bring our dog along. Note: Their dogs are not friendly to other dogs and barked at ours, however, sharing the yard just required some coordination.

Fairies and water
The water features are all around. Hot tub, pool, and fountains. Lovely hosts and K9's. We had such a wonderful time! The cottage is charming inside and out. Everything you need and cute as can be. Plus a perfect porch. We were here for an event but would come just to hang out. Not one to gush most of the time, I could go on and on about this property. We simply loved it! Greg & Loreen

It was perfect! It was close to The university. Very private on a quiet street. The house itself was beautiful. The owner made sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Our son will be in school for another three years and this is where we will stay in the future when we visit.

Beautiful and accommodating little spot by the creek!
Stayed in Chico for our annual poker game with friends. This was the perfect spot. Private entrance, beautiful yard, near downtown. It was right near a nice little creek. The house was really cozy, and they had everything for us. Even eggs in the fridge, and English muffins. They provided plenty of snacks and I was very grateful. The yard was exceptional. It felt very private and cozy. The hosts were really nice and laid back. Thank you so much for everything. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely PERFECT!
I can't say enough about the hosts and the cottage and atmosphere. We were up in Chico for Alumni weekend and my boyfriends birthday (both Chico grads!). It was easy communication with the hosts. The little gems of snacks and kind offer to purchase simple items before our arrival was indeed enjoyable and such a courtesy! The dogs who we met were so friendly and adorable, it made our stay even more pleasant. The cottage was great - many linens, lotions, hair products, stocked condiments, kitchen tools, etc. was like we had lived there. TV service to watch sports and movies - fantastic. Location made travel to downtown Chico easy. Well lit backyard in the evening. BBQ area wasn't used, but looked great. We did use the hot tub after my BF played in the alumni lacrosse game (we are getting a little older!) and the pool was cleaned the day we arrived. Wonderful play to lay out and have some chips and relax. Cannot say enough about this home, the feels, and the hosts. Don't pass it up!

Our stay at Steve and Darcy's house was lovely. The cottage was cozy and well equipped, the garden was lush, and the pool was wonderful. We spent hours hanging out and relaxing on the front porch and by the pool, cooked all our meals in the kitchen and on the grill, and lazed around. Darcy and Steve are wonderful hosts who are super friendly and very accommodating. Thank you!

Lovely getaway
We spent 2 nights at the cottage and had a wonderful experience. We made good use of their hot tub and pool, and enjoyed our shady little deck with a water feature and comfy seating. The cottage was fully stocked with the basics, so we were able to have coffee and fresh fruit and bread they had supplied from that morning’s farmers market. We would definitely recommend!

Sit on your porch with the gas fire pit, look across the Tiki Bar barbecue grill, to the kidney shaped pool and then you see your hot tub. Somewhere during your glance you will always see ”Obiwan” and “Mim”(elder dachshunds) and Charlize (a whatever). They will adopt you-guaranteed! Nicely equipped with lot of extras. Pleasant quiet road for a walk by the river.

Dream Rental
This dream rental had everything you could possibly imagine. The hosts are kind, and very considerate of your needs, and extremely generous, leaving beverages, fresh fruit, fresh loaf of country bread, and a welcome smile when you arrive. While the home is stunning in the daylight shines at night with twinkle lights over the entrance and large trees to ensure privacy. The back cottage is filled with unique antiques a soft, cozy bed nicer than my own comfortable towels, warm water, and everything else. You can imagine to make your stay feel like home. In fact, this could be my home I literally went home inspired to beautify my own space after spending time at Darcy’s. Best of all their pups Welcome you daily if you want them to! I have stayed at dozens of rentals, and nothing compares to the sweet coziness of this Chico slice of paradise.
