Great house for family
Our family enjoyed our stay at this spacious house. We spent most evenings on the large deck as the house was hot, no A/C in main area, however, the fans and portable A/C units were enough to keep the bedrooms cool. Great location. We would stay there again.

Outstanding place to stay for Hot August Nights
Clean, well kept older cottage plenty of room for everyone. I highly recommend this prperty. I think the only improvment that could be made would be installation of mini-split a/c units instead of the portables.

Location is convenient to the rest of Reno. Close to a lake and great walking trails in the area.
This is a home on a relatively busy street, but with easy access to the places we wanted to visit. We bought our dog and he enjoyed a few runs around the back yard. When we had questions we were able to text the owner/manager and get quick answers.

Amazing property and fantastic location
From the outside pictures I wasn’t expecting the awesomeness we found inside. Ginger has curated this home to welcome families and friends alike. The rental came with tons of games, an awesome cozy space and very functional kitchen. The location is great! So close to the airport and the cute stores around plus down town shops and yummy eateries. We will be back next time we are in Reno for sure!!

Nice place!
We were in Reno for the Air Races. 20 Min drive with traffic to Stead. Met our needs. We really enjoyed the deck and grilled almost every night. Neighborhoods quiet. Close to casinos, shopping and Reno airport. Our ony complaint is the downstairs bedroom that faces yard needs new blinds, otherwise, place we awesome.

Great location
The location was amazing. Located close enough to the airport but you couldn’t hear the airport. Everything was close to the cottage so very easy access. Clean home with plenty of room. Air conditioning was the only really noise with fear of water leaks. But don’t lest the AC deter you the stay was wonderful and the hostess was very accommodating. Highly recommend.

Just what we needed
The property was located in a great neighborhood. We were there for a youth sports tournament and it worked just right. We ended up not bringing our dog, which was good as I think she would have found the yard (and a big barker behind) disconcerting. But she is small!

Family Visit
The upstairs rental was very nice for what we needed, next time I will rent the whole house. Upstairs only has one bathroom, this was too combersome with trying to use the toilet or shower with two grown teen boys and parents. Lucky for us our extended family all live near by so we spent most of our time having access to multiple bathrooms. Lots of potential for a really great VRBO in the future.

Cottage review
We rented the upper floor only, not the downstairs portion. Is an older home with improvements particularly kitchen and windows. Nice sunny back deck. No central AC but individual room AC provided. Is on a busy street but road noise quiets down at night. No clothes washer/dryer available. Is a good value.

Ski week in a blizzard
This bungalow is so cute. It was very clean in communication with Ginger was easy to reach. We got stuck in a blizzard and she extended our stay when the roads home were closed. One problem is we rented this home when we were going to bring a dog. We did not end up, bringing a dog, which was fortunate because the backyard is not secure for dogs. That gate is about 2 feet high and did not close and part of the fence was crushed. It would have been difficult to safely let our dog in the yard.

Simply perfect: Clean, Charming, and Spacious
Our recent stay at this property marked our second visit, and once again, it surpassed our expectations. From the cozy furnishings to the tasteful decor, every detail adds to the overall ambiance, and we simply feel welcome. Cleanliness is always a top priority for us, especially when traveling with our family, and this property never disappoints in that regard. The property is just the right size for our family of four… lots of space is another highlight that keeps us coming back. With two energetic boys who crave their own space, renting the downstairs area provides them with the independence they desire while still being within arm's reach. Communication with the property manager has always been seamless, adding to the convenience of our stay. Any questions or concerns were promptly addressed, allowing us to focus on enjoying our time without any worries…. Though we have never had any issues. Our experiences at this property have consistently wonderful. It has become our go-to accommodation whenever we're in the area.

Reno visit
The home is older so we did encounter issues trying to get the front bedroom warm, but after reaching out to the owner, the issue was solved. The listing says the upstairs sleeps 5 but their are only beds for 4. Being a light sleeper, the noise in the front bedroom and the headlight reflection made sleep difficult, but again the owner offered a solution. Overall the area is nice, felt safe and the home met our needs.

Clean and good location
This house very very clean upon arrival and matched the description. The main living area was even nicer in person than the pictures show. We rented the basement as well to have some more space, however they recommended accessing the lower space by the outside so we didn’t end up using it as planned. Overall we enjoyed our stay and loved the nice neighborhood and proximity to downtown.
