Japanese-Style Retreat: Fountain, Hot Tub, Arcade

🧘‍♂️🌸 Welcome to the Zen Garden Retreat!
Located near Enloe and Downtown Chico, this corner-lot hideaway is the perfect place to kick off your shoes, unwind, and enjoy the peaceful charm of this beautiful town. Inspired by Japanese design, the home invites stillness, simplicity, and comfort.

🏯🛏️ Japanese-Inspired Interior:
You’ll notice several traditional elements throughout the home:

The King bed and Twin beds sit low to the ground to honor Japanese design.
