Price Family

This is the most beautiful property that we have ever experienced. From the moment we walked in the door, we were enchanted with the house. The artistic creativity is somewhat magical. It was absolutely spotless and backyard was perfect for our two fur babies. The house is fully equipped with everything you would ever need. The booking process and communication was easy. And I just have to add, Josh, our host, is a treasure. We can't wait to stay there again. We highly recommend this house.

Fascinating house

This house had everything that’s important to us; a quiet and safe neighborhood, enjoyable indoor and outdoor spaces, great proximity to attractions and to downtown and very comfortable beds! The unique artistry of the decorations and tile work were a fascinating plus and the house had every amenity we could ask for - we’ll be a return guest very soon!!

One of a kind beauty

We went to Reno for Thanksgiving week and stayed and the Reno Riviera Retreat. We chose this property after seeing the pictures online. It was even more amazing in person. The artistic touches and decorations throughout the house make this a unique experience. From the beautiful wood floors in patterns of different woods, to ceilings with mosaic times or stamped tin, the entire thing is an artistic experience. The kitchen is amazingly well stocked for any occasion, even a Thanksgiving feast. Josh, the host was wonderful. He communicated very well and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this one of kind getaway.

Great location and comfortable!

We had a wonderful stay at Reno Riviera. The location is near Idlewild Park and some nice walking trails along the Truckee River. Everything was comfortable and convenient, as expected. The fenced in back yard was also great for our small dog.

Unique and amazing

This is an amazing property! So clean! The home feels so welcoming. The interior is beautiful. Art work built within the home. Everyday I discovered something new in the decor. Location is spot on. We were able to walk a block and take advantage of the walking paths along the trucke river. Park with pond and playground near by. This is absolutely one of my favorite VRBOs. Josh is a wonderful host. Very responsive and helpful when inquiring about activities in the area. Neighborhood is safe and quiet. This is truly a unique place. I was so sad to leave it.

A home away from home!

We stayed Riviera Reno while we were town for our niece’s graduation from nursing school. Everything about the home was perfect! The set up was great to have the extended family over for meals and there was everything we needed in the kitchen. We loved the backyard, the beds were super comfortable, and there were a lot of lovely touches in every room. We also loved the unique decor — so fun! You can tell this home was built with care!

Cozy house in a great location

We came to Reno to visit family and celebrate a big birthday! We've stayed in this house before and chose to stay again because it it so comfortable and well-appointed. The owner has thought of everything that one might need to make the stay comfortable. Check in was a breeze and the neighborhood is cute and close to downtown. It's a great house and we would definitely stay there again!

The best ever

This is an amazing property and Josh is the best host ever. I was recently widowed and in the process of selling my house, I needed a retreat. The moment I walked in the door, I smiled and felt at home. I loved every minute in this truly unique house. Perfect for couples or single folks. Beautiful yard, great location and a truly amazing experience.

pretty cool home

artistic, funky, whimsical, and fun! great house in a really nice location. clearly the builder was extremely artistic and non-conventional, every room was a fun discovery of materials and craftsmanship. we use the home as a base for daily travels so we didn't use the home's flair to its potential but would have been enjoyable to have a glass of wine out on the back patio. would definitely rent again.

Home away from home

Beautiful, well-appointed home with all the amenities one could need. Artsy flare and creative details adorn this sanctuary in the city. Located in a nice, peaceful neighborhood near a gorgeous river park, yet just a couple miles away from downtown and major casinos. Ample street parking if you brought your trailered cars for Hot August Nights like we did. It's the perfect place to unwind after a long day of adventuring or a late night under the bright lights. Far better than a noisy casino; your car is right outside and you're a couple minutes from the freeway. Layout of the home is spacious with plenty of room to not be in each other's way when staying with friends. Kitchen has tons of cookware, bakeware, and appliances, all the spices and seasonings, coffees, teas, plenty of dishware, silverware, and glasses. Bedding is comfortable with plenty of blankets and pillows. Climate control is set perfectly. There's truly nothing bad to say about this place and will definitely stay there again when traveling to Reno! Highly recommend!! 10/10.

Creative artistry throughout.

Home was located near Idyllwild Park. Yummy food trucks on Friday night. The well equipped house has four folding chairs to use. Extensive walking trails along the river. Nice backyard for coffee in the morning with the birds singing. Most well-stocked VBRO that we’ve ever stayed in. Thank you for a great holiday.

Marvelous home in great location

This was our second stay. We hope to make it an annual event. The house is comfortable with bedrooms located on opposite sides of house for privacy. We particularly love the artistic touches in the house from the amazing terrazzo and tile work to to copper sinks and tin ceiling in the kitchen to the wood working. My dog loved the backyard!
