L'abri is the French word for 'shelter,' and our goal is to provide you with the finest haven from twentieth century pressures that Northern California has to offer.
Whether you are with us for a romantic weekend or on a midweek business trip, we have designed L'abri to provide a serene and comfortable sanctuary in a charming country setting. We take pride in our immaculately clean rooms.
Our ranch-style home is located on 2 1/2 acres, and we have established an assortment of outside places for you to find the relaxation that is so much a part of "getting away."
You may enjoy sitting on the patio or back lawn, watching the variety of birds that visit with us throughout the year. There is also a seasonal creek that provides a very restful rhythm as it flows along through the property.
All this talk of rest and relaxation may sound boring to some. For our more adventurous guests, Butte County and its environs provide other choices, both natural and man-made.
How about enjoying some fine theater productions at Chico Theater Company!!!
There are miles of hiking trails both near (Deer Creek, Upper Bidwell Park) and not too far (Burney Falls, Ishi Wilderness).
Brisk walks through the spectacular Lower Bidwell Park, charming downtown Chico, and the lovely grounds of Cal State, Chico are just as much fun. Entertainment opportunities include bicycling, horseback riding, golf, Chico City Light Opera, and if you come in the summer the open-air markets are free!
For those desiring lots of private time, there will be special pleasure in having a room with a separate outside entrance, and a spacious seating area for reading or writing.
You may also enjoy having breakfast served in your room. Others might like the company of your hosts and fellow travelers in our great room, where you can read, play games or sit with your favorite hot beverage and become absorbed in the glow of an early morning fire.
