A very restful stay
The cosy little cottage is in a beautiful and very quiet setting. We had made plans for hikes etc but were more than happy to stay on the property and relax there, listening to the chatter of the woodpeckers. I did, eventually, take the hike up Center Gap Road to the top of the ridge, which was well worth it for the expansive views.

Cabbage Cottage
We loved staying here! The property is adorable, and the views are beautiful. We took a few walks around the property and down by the river. My dog had a blast! We nicknamed it the Cabbage Cottage and would absolutely go back again.

Great place for a quiet retreat
A wonderful location about 20 minutes from Chico that is perfect for a relaxing get-away weekend. The driveway is a little steep, particularly considering it is gravel (although my little sedan managed it OK), but it's well worth it for the peace, quiet and privacy the location affords.

A private Oasis
A charming cabin on acres of land near lovely vistas. It has a jetted tub, comfy beds, well-stocked kitchen and a deck with a gas fire pit. Everything a single person, or a couple, or a small family could need. Warm host too!

If you like quiet, outdoors and clean air. This is for you. Its secluded, and quiet. Its uphill to get there. But the property is fun for couples or families. Its amazing how quiet it is, only 25 minutes from chico.

The BEST vacation ever!!
The cottage was gorgeous and the views were absolutely breathtaking. If I could give this 100 stars I would. The location was perfect, close to everything and so much to do in the area. Plenty of areas to take a hike and enjoy the wildlife. Our favorite was sitting by the firepit and watching the deer and foxes every day. Communication with host was outstanding, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our stay, answering all my questions. We will definitely be back , 11 days was not enough time to enjoy everything this location and property has to offer!

Perfect location
The cabin was impeccably clean and thoughtfully stocked. The location was perfect for us. Surrounded by Oak woodlands above Butte Creek, peaceful and beautiful. The wildflowers were everywhere during our visit! We arrived on a very hot day, 95 degrees. Thankfully they had turned the air conditioning on so we were immediately comfortable. Butte Creek was the perfect place to lounge and cool down with friends and family. Our group likes a little space and room to roam and we were not disappointed. Thanks to Cara for being a wonderful host!

Quiet Canyon Getaway
House was wonderful. Much bigger than the pictures make it seem. All the amenities you could want in a secluded setting. The only sounds you hear are wildlife. Great place for our dogs to roam in the fences in yard. Great patio with fire pit and bath has a great jetted tub with big picture window. House was very well insulated too. Thanks for the great stay!!

Quaint home getaway
The stay was fine, the house was nice with the quaintness and beautiful surroundings. I gave the visit a 4* because the perimeter of the house fencing had gaps and it was not totally secure for our 2 dogs. One got out several times. Fortunately our pointer (runner) didn’t fine the escapes, if he had he would have headed to the hills or straight down Center Gap Road and possibly out to Centerville.

Great getaway!
I loved this peaceful place. So quiet, just me and the deer and the hummingbirds. Clean, comfortable, just right for a few days away from home. I didn't want to leave!

Perfect for us
We stayed while visiting family for Thanksgiving and it was a great place to relax and hang out. It was off the beaten path, but we loved that because we could see deer, rabbits and woodpeckers every morning. We loved having our morning coffee on the deck and going on walks exploring the area.
