Great, quiet spot for the family
Our families shared this property with another family for a basketball tournament. The house was very clean, spacious, and well stocked with kitchen items! We cooked daily and could find everything we needed and then some! The neighborhood was nice and peaceful and a quick drive to the convention center. The backyard was beautiful and peaceful. It was enough space for the kiddos to run around or the adults to gain some quiet time for coffee or a glass of wine. Would definitely stay here again!

This was a roomy, nice and clean place to stay, it also had a cabinet full of games to play. The location was perfect for what we needed. Suggestions I have would add some pot holders for the hot pans and maybe some more bath towels. I recommend this property.

Annual girls trip
For our annual girls trip 2023, we decided to stay in Reno. Our VRBO was amazing! Plenty of room for the 6 ladies on our trip. The rental was beautifully decorated, the couch and beds were very comfortable. The backyard was the best as we were there during the Hot Air Balloon festival. We sat at the patio table, drank our coffee and watched all the hot air balloons. This VRBO is conveniently located to easy access to the freeway. We definitely recommend this VRBO to anyone interested in visiting Reno!

Quiet, clean and cozy.
Catherine was an exceptional host: warm and inviting on initial check-in. Always available when we reached out for help. Highly recommend for family. House was clean, backyard is spacious and location is just outside of town(10 minutes or less from Grand Sierra Resort) and 6 minutes from the coolest place in Reno (The River in down town Reno). Kids enjoyed the extra large T.V. in the living room and Mom enjoyed how safe the neighborhood is. Dad loved the BIG kitchen and our teen got to have her own room for a week. We loved it.

Annual golf getaway
We do an annual golf getaway in different parts of the country. We are 4 college buddies with friendships going back 50 years. This house was perfect for our needs. Excellent location to courses, shopping and restaurants. Comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen, lots of comfortable furniture inside. And a great backyard with 4 chairs around a fire pit watching the sunset after our round of golf. Catherine was always available from the moment I booked this reservation.

Beautifully decorated property
The house was marvelous, especially the kitchen which can easily handle multiple cooks simultaneously. Only concerns: how to access basic commercial tv stations…never figured out…..and hallway bathroom tub faucet handle is so stiff it required two hands to move it. Other than that, perfect place for family gathering.

Our last VRBO in Reno was a huge disappointment and we were hoping for a clean, uncluttered, quiet, comfortable accommodation this time. This property measured up in all respects and we really enjoyed our 10 day stay. Hoping it will be available for our next visit.

Wonderful place to stay
We stayed here for 4 days during our son’s wedding. This house is exceptionally comfortable with lots of amenities. Unfortunately due to the fact that we had so many family wedding activities we were not able to use the outdoor fire pit but it looked super inviting. The neighborhood is very quiet and conveniently located to any place you need to go to in Reno. We would highly recommend this home.

Vacay
Lovely modern updates. Quiet neighborhood. Convenient location to points of interest. Comfortable. Unexpected lawn service at 0815 during our stay but they were quick and efficient. Backyard was great to observe the balloon race. Large TV was appreciated -especially with the smoke issues. The hazardous-level wildfire smoke prevented us from enjoying the lovely outdoor area and much of our original outdoor vacation plans. Travelers might want to consider visiting the area a little later in the fall. The house was amazing, well-designed and perfect for a gourmet function. Enjoy.
