We spent Thanksgiving week here and thoroughly enjoyed the house, the neighborhood and the foothills trails and nearby Rancho San Rafael Park. We also wanted to be close to UNR, and this location was within a couple miles of campus. The kitchen was superbly equipped for making Thanksgiving dinner, and our family enjoyed the living spaces for watching football, playing board games, XBox. Everyone in our family lifts weights and runs, so the fitness equipment in the garage was super useful, as was the proximity to the expansive trail network. Beds and baths were as comfy and clean as described and photographed. Hosts are amazing with communication and availability to offer tips for things to do or assistance with stay details. We felt so well taken care of, and we appreciated this choice for staying in Reno.

Would be so glad to have you and your family back anytime Andrea!
House had plenty of room for our party of 7. Kids loved to hang out in the extra space in the room with bunk beds. Back porch was nice and relaxing to enjoying a morning cup of coffee. The welcome bars were a great touch too. The backyard is way bigger than the pictures show. Plenty of room to run around and play volleyball. We were busy all weekend, so disappointed I didn’t make time to use the gym in the garage. It looked well set up for a nice workout. The communication with owner was stellar. Owner and host were always available to answer any questions in a timely manner. Will definitely rent house again on our next trip to Reno. Location was just 10-15 min from lots of places.

Reno/Tahoe is packed with food & music festivals year around, nearly every weekend there is something new going on! This city is more vibrant than many people think, perfect for all ages and great for family getaways from the Bay area. You can do just about anything here from hiking, boating, snow sports & activating, dining, gambling, shopping and so much more!
Why they chose this property
Our home is truly a hidden gem. About 5 mins from downtown and Midtown, nestled on a family safe, quiet cul-de-sac, our home makes for the perfect quaint location outside of the hustle and bustle, but close enough to jump in when you'd like! Neighbors are all friendly and the backyard has incredible mountain views. Nothing like morning coffee or a late night s'mores party by the fire pit to put the cherry on top of a fantastic weekend here!
