The Goodman House reviewed by a Cabbitravel Blogger

"Within a mile of all of Chico’s attractions, the historic Goodman House is a tranquil, idyllic place to stay. Nestled on a beautiful tree-lined esplanade, this grand home offers five well-appointed guest rooms and a delicious, two-course breakfast each morning.

The three-story Craftsman-style home was built in 1906. Owners Tom and Margo Graham opened the home as a bed and breakfast inn in 2002. The inn features period-prefect wood trim, five-panel doors, and antique furnishings. A Viennese grand piano stands in the living room. An original stained glass window adorns the dining room. The inn also offers an inviting front porch and a shady side garden with tables and market umbrellas.

All five guest rooms are handsomely decorated and feature antique furniture, fine linens, down comforters, robes, and private baths. Some of the rooms offer claw foot tubs, fireplaces and/or television. All are equipped with air conditioning and ceiling fans.

I stayed in room #4, which had formerly been a sun porch. The bright, light-filled room with white wood slat walls is decorated in white and blue with a French antique bed, floral toile comforter, and blue willow plates.

After I returned from my hike in Bidwell Park, I was treated to a delightful two-course breakfast prepared by Margo. I enjoyed plate of fresh fruit along with a homemade lemon muffin followed by a delicious bacon, herb, and tomato frittata.

Margo and Tom are consummate hosts with a quiet, unobtrusive style. They provided personalized service and offered great suggestions for exploring their adopted hometown of Chico."
