About this property

Spacious Family Friendly Home in Reno/Tahoe Area

Spacious three bedroom, two bathroom vacation getaway in park-like setting on an acre of land surrounded by 18 Oak trees, a big blue spruce and two redwoods. A beautiful patio and lots of windows allow you to enjoy nature at every turn. A well-stocked game room with ping pong table and pinball machine, toys and board games is a bonus for kids of all ages.

Our home has a fully-equipped kitchen, outdoor barbecue, televisions with DVD player, Wii, internet and a selection of contemporary and vintage films, tv shows and animation -- suitable for children through adults. With an acre of grass and trees, it's peaceful and quiet here-- the perfect setting for family or a small group of friends or colleagues. We've got comfortable areas for a group of friends or family to gather and enough room to give everyone space during quiet times. Oh, and plenty of room outside for kids to run around and explore.

We are just 40 minutes from Lake Tahoe and Sierra Nevada ski resorts, historic Virginia City, and the enigmatic Pyramid Lake -- and 10 minutes from downtown and midtown Reno.

There's trout fishing and summer swimming in the Truckee River just a mile walk or drive from the house. Hiking can be found a quick drive away -- or further into the mountains or desert. Nestled near the foot of the Sierra's, it's a gateway to both summer and winter fun either in the mountains or to the east in the high desert. It's a great home base for the Reno/Tahoe area.

Enjoy quality time with your friends and family at our home -- we look forward to making your visit comfortable and relaxing. We can't wait to speak with you!

Sorry, but WE DO NOT ALLOW PETS OR PARTIES, RECEPTIONS, WEDDINGS OR OTHER GROUPS.

Quiet, clean, great neighborhood

Large, comfortable house in very nice quiet neighborhood. We felt very much at home here. Lack of cable TV and Internet are the only downside, but location makes it easy to visit the locate sites; Lake Tahoe's north side, casinos, & UNR.

Beauty in the high desert

This house is located in a beautiful, well established older neighborhood on the west side of Reno. It’s close enough to shipping and the highway to get anything you need and go anywhere around the area, but feels secluded. The property is expansive and tranquil. The accommodations were lovely and the house was well appointed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Lovely home in west Reno

We enjoyed our stay and were very pleased with this property. Communication with the owner was easy and any issues we had were dealt with promptly. Our 3 adult children loved the game room and my husband and I enjoyed quiet breakfasts on the patio. The neighborhood is beautiful and perfect for long walks. Reno is such an easy town to get around and everything you need is close by. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Bessie!

Snowy visit

It is a cute house and has all that we need for our short visit. Great location and a very nice neighborhood and is close to a lot of places we went. Though while we were there it did snow and had we not gotten a 4WD we might not have been able to get up the road to the house or the driveway. So be sure to check the weather before you arrive and plan accordingly. Would rent again on a return visit.

This is a very nicely located three bedroom house that was a exactly what we needed for family wedding. Outside space for kids to burn off energy. Inside game room for colder or evening time. Comfortable beds. Kitchen well appointed. Just space that no hotel provides.

Perfect Getaway

The hostess was extremely gracious and did everything possible to make our stay effortless. She was quick to respond to any requests. The home was so comfortable and laid out perfectly. The beds were comfy and the showers were nice and hot had plenty of towels. Location of the house was central to all activities. It was a perfect getaway especially after the last couple years. I wish I could give it more stars ⭐️ since it was incredible experience!

Wonderful Stay

We were 3 adults and 3 kids. We stayed for 5 nights and had the best time. The house is lovely, very spacious, the game room was a hit with the kids. We cooked breakfast everyday and got takeout dinner a couple of nights. Would have been nice to have some non stick skillets. We skied Northstar / Mt Rose and Heavenly. Heavenly was an hours drive...we parked Nevada side. Downtown Reno is 5 miles away and that worked for us. The house has no wifi, but our phone hot spots worked well. We were not able to stream movies though. They do have DVD's... we watched a few. Having wifi and an upgraded TV would have been a good addition. Great communication with the owners. Thanks so much.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits of this house are its rural setting, but it is also close to town. The acre of grass and trees give it a quiet, outdoorsy feel. The game room with a ping pong table and pinball machine, books and board games provide indoor fun.
