*About the Watson House*
Welcome to our cozy 2-bedroom vacation home in Chico! Nestled in a picturesque setting, this charming property offers everything you need for a relaxing getaway or fishing trip for the family. Prepare to catch the big one with your own boat dock to have everything ready for the early riser fisherman, while the kids can use the dock for swimming and dock fishing if they want. In the area for a fishing tournament? Perfect home base removing the need to pull the boat every morning while giving you an on-the-lake starting point. If you caught dinner we have fish fry equipment so you can prepare your own, your way. Enjoy the convenience of free WiFi, a smart TV, and a clothes dryer, perfect for keeping you connected and comfortable during your stay. Step inside and be greeted by a fully stocked kitchen, complete with a stove, oven, refrigerator, grill, microwave, coffee maker, kitchen island, toaster, and all the dishes and utensils you'll need to whip up delicious meals. Gather around the dining table for family-style dinners or step outside to the porch and take in the stunning water views. When it's time to unwind, retreat to the living room and curl up with a good book or pop in a DVD from the video collection. The kids will love the selection of games and toys, ensuring endless hours of entertainment. And don't forget to take advantage of the outdoor play area and beach loungers for fun in the sun. With amenities like air conditioning, heating, linens, and an iron and board, you'll have everything you need for a comfortable and carefree stay. So pack your bags and get ready to experience the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure at our Chico vacation home. Even if it's a little too cold to swim, the house is in a very quiet area with abundant wildlife and solitude. The falling leaves create a hushed sense while you relax on the porch. If you have family in this part of town, it's a perfect home base, 12 miles nearer than the closest hotel. Spend your time visiting instead of driving back and forth.
*Bedrooms*
There are two bedrooms, both with queen beds and comfortable mattresses. Both have a simple dresser, end tables, and luggage racks for your suitcases. There are also two beds on the fully screened porch with a queen and a twin bed, where you can safely sleep outdoors without the bugs.
*Outdoor Living*
Jump off the dock into the water. Paddleboard, kayak, swim, fish, or go bobbing (floating on a noodle while enjoying a beverage). Feel like cooking; there is a grill available, and you can have a fish fry with the equipment we have available if you were successful fishing. Care for a crawfish or shrimp boil. We have equipment for that too. Kids playground with swings, slides and sand and seating areas for adult supervision while the kids play.
*Lake Bridgeport's water levels can fluctuate; please check before booking. We are not responsible for lake levels. Please note: as of Nov 10, 2024, lake levels are low but will facilitate swimming and boating. Access to the dock for fishing is available in the back yard. There are also public boat ramps available for fishing or boating.*
