This was a perfect place to stay in Davis. Everything was close by and walkable. The home was clean, comfortable and there were even snacks and coffee. Lilly was super responsive and helpful no matter the time. I would definitely stay here again!

Yolo Bungalow was an absolute gem. The Craftsman charm, the stylish decor, and the beautiful, blooming garden made the whole stay feel special. The home was spotless, thoughtfully appointed, and stocked with everything we could possibly need, from kitchen essentials to bathroom toiletries. Nothing felt worn or overlooked; you can tell this property is truly loved and maintained with care. Lilly went above and beyond in every way, and it made our stay incredibly comfortable. The bed was cozy, the house was welcoming, and our four dogs settled in immediately, probably because we felt so relaxed ourselves. We would happily return and look forward to visiting Lilly and the Yolo Bungalow again!

TheYolo Bungalow was perfect for our holiday return to Davis (where we used to live). It was clean, comfy beds, fun decor, great A/C on hot days, and well appointed. We loved the extras (snacks, water filter, and tea selection)! It is also wakable to coffee and restaurants. The TV was easy to use and we could program in the end of our stay disconect. Communication was excellent, including both an online house manual and a very convenient hard copy. We enjoyed that it felt like a home rather than a sterile corporate-run rental. The only thing to be aware of is the trains and the trucks associated with the businesses across the street. I'm a light sleeper with my own high-grade earplugs and slept well through the night when the trains are not as loud or active. I was awoken with the morning activity of trains and trucks. It won't keep me from returning next visit - just something to be aware of. We'll be back - its our now first choice stay in Davis! Thank you Lilly and Larry!
