This bed and breakfast in Peachland is like a home away from home. The host is attentive, kind and responsive, and makes a wonderful hot breakfast, which is a real treat in this age of hotel "continental breakfasts". Bed was very comfortable, and the suite was spacious and well-stocked, with a stone masonry gas fireplace that added both warmth and character to the space. As someone who travels frequently for business, I might suggest a deadbolt lock for each suite for peace of mind. I heartily recommend the Chirping Cricket for vacationers and business travelers alike, and wish the owner a great summer season ahead.

Ah Jennifer it was my pleasure having you stay with me. Thank you for the wonderful review. I truly am blessed to have such wonderful guests.. For a deadbolt are you talking about the bedroom itself or the suite doors. They all have locks, but only a deadbolt on the outside door. Please let me know and I'll look into it.Hope to see you again!!! Nikki

Wonderful stay
Our stay at the bed and breakfast was simply delightful, despite the wildfires raging in the vicinity. Nikki, our host, was exceptionally warm and hospitable, ensuring we felt completely at home. Breakfast was an absolute treat, especially the Dutch baby pancake. Do yourself a favor and request it - it's a decision you won't regret!

A shining example of boutique hospitality
We were truly blown away by our stay. The innkeeper makes all the difference. She was so welcome, gracious, accommodating, and hospitable. She treated us as though we were members of her family. It was like staying with a dear, beloved relative. She invited us to pick cherries on the property and help ourselves. We were putting together some charcuterie to take to a picnic and she graciously insisted on lending us her board. This is the only place we would want to stay if we ever came back to the area!

Beautiful bed and breakfast
The chirping cricket was a great stay. The house is new and clean and Nicole goes out of her way to ensure her guests comfort. One minor issue was the limited Ac airflow to the bedrooms. Fans were provided but it made for hot sleeping conditions.

Response from Nikki on 18 Aug 2021
Hi...yes I apologize for the heat...its been a crazy hot summer and even the air conditioner this year could not keep up. I thought with ceiling fans and the tower fans in all the rooms would help but it was still warm. May need to change my system. Sorry about that.

Thank you so much for choosing to stay at the chirping cricket. Unfortunately my AC is only in the central area..which is why I have ceiling fans and cooking tower fans in each room. It just can't keep up with the extreme heat we've had. Hopefully there will be a next time that will be more comfortable for you. Thank you again.. Nikki

I'm sorry it didn't work for you. One of the stipulations on the business license is that the owner has to live in the house. Guests generally get a bedroom. I allow mine the use of the kitchen and living room and 4 seating areas outside. Online does say there are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Nicole
