Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
The Jungle Bungalow is a small, freshly remodeled (2020) unit in a converted Craftsman duplex in Downtown Chico, designed with “riviera-inspired” style touches. It has a private, separate entrance and a large outdoor patio geared toward a more secluded stay while still being walkable to downtown. In-room conveniences include a kitchenette with kitchen essentials (microwave and oven stove), plus a washer, iron/ironing board, air conditioning, and heating. The property is smoke-free and includes cable TV and free Wi‑Fi. Parking is straightforward with free parking and guests also noting ample shaded street parking nearby. For dining out, you’re close to spots like Grana, Parkside Taphouse, Woodstock’s Pizza Chico, Burgers & Brew, and downtown bar-and-grill options such as The Banshee and Madison Bear Garden.
Best for
Best for couples or solo travelers who want a private-feeling downtown base with a separate entrance and a large patio. It also suits longer or more self-sufficient stays thanks to the kitchen setup (microwave, oven stove) plus in-unit laundry and free Wi‑Fi.
Travel tips
For local transit, several bus stops are nearby, including 8th Street & Olive (about 200 m) and Vallombrosa & Memorial (about 533 m).

Reviews consistently point to a very comfortable bed and overall comfort for short stays, including a comfortable couch. Guests also mention the kitchen being equipped with the basics needed for cooking and dining, supporting more self-serve stays. Parking is generally described as easy, with shaded street parking commonly available nearby. The available excerpts do not surface recurring complaints, but the unit’s smaller scale may matter for travelers needing more space.
