Family vacation

We had a wonderful time staying in home! Catherine was very responsive to any questions we had prior to and during our stay. The home was very clean and had everything we needed. We absolutely loved the backyard and the beautiful view. We would definitely stay in this home again if we were to come back to Reno!

Very comfortable, great location

We were in town for a family funeral and didn’t actually spend much time at the property, but it was very comfortable and nice to have a quiet spot to return to in the evenings. It was a great location for us.

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!

Wonderful, Quiet, Clean - Higley Recommended

I'm happy to have chosen this property for my family & I. We stayed for a week and everything was great. The property is very clean & the nights were quiet & peaceful. Tucked away with views from the private backyard yet just a short drive to shopping & anything around the Reno/Sparks area. Several little details like some great books to read & games to play made the stay even better. We'll stay 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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Bragg-Brennan

My husband enjoy entertaining, so it seemed like a natural to add hosting at our property to our list of day to day activities.

Why they chose this property

This property was considered the haunted house on the block. Bars on the windows and door, roof and fencing was coming down, backyard full of garbage, not to mention the rotted out bathrooms. But, upon entering the house I realized it had great bones, a beautiful backyard view and it was located in a great neighborhood. It has been a labor of love restoring the house to contemporary standards and a place I have truly come to love.

What makes this property unique

While the neighborhood is an old one - homes built in the 50's-60's, it has a nice family feel to it and is under gentrification. The backyard is always a pleasant surprise, the views of Peavine mountains are majestic and peaceful.
