We had a great stay. The place was modern, fully stocked and conveniently located. The only thing to be aware of is that there isn't a direct door to the yard, you have to go out the front and to the side gate.

Queen of the Emerald Escape

We had a lovely stay in Reno. Originally here for a concert, we added mountain biking and climbing to our trip! The unit was very charming, loved the coffee cups, and the office table was useful. Our dog was so spoiled, her own yard, and right around the corner from a dog park! The owner was easy to message and quick to help make it a great experience. The yard was cleaned up nice which our dog enjoyed.
