The Best!

This property knows how to do a VRBO better than any place I’ve ever been. It was comfortable, clean well stocked and a great location! Only thing I missed was a washer/dryer but everything else made up for it! The best place ever!

Perfect Retreat

The hosts of this cottage thought of everything! From the moment we stepped in the door we were impressed with the decor, privacy, and amenities. The location is so well suited for enjoying Reno and we were impressed with the binder of information on the cottage and the local area. As we returned from touring each day we knew we had a very comfortable retreat. Thank you for all the care and work at making this cottage a place we plan to return to.

We loved this spot. The mid-century modern decor was clean and crisp. We walked everywhere! To the co-op, the Nevada Art Museum, Centro - the fabulous tapas restaurant, Black Rock Desserts for ice cream. Quiet neighborhood. Easy on-street parking. The pear trees and ornamental trees and shrubs out front keep it cool for my morning coffee in the side yard.

So charming, great location, wonderfully equipped, excellent communication. Perfect for couples or solo travelers. This was our 2nd time at this cottage and we found even more things to love than our first visit. Loved walking to all the great establishments close by and will happily stay here again when we visit Reno. Clearly, the owner takes care of the property and attention to detail.

Perfect midtown stay

What a perfectly appointed apartment. The location was perfect, with lots of cute local restaurants within walking distance. The neighborhood is a quiet residential area of older homes that have been lovingly cared for. I especially loved the decorating touches that gave a nod to local history. Will definitely look to stay here again.

Cute Bungalow Near Mid-Town

We were in Reno visiting family for Christmas and wanted to stay somewhere nice other than a casino. The place is perfect for a couple. Historic property has been beautifully renovated by someone with a designer’s eye. I grew up in Reno, so I really enjoyed the historic memorabilia scattered about. We will be back.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful home

The property was better than expected. It was on a lovely, quiet neighborhood and the house was extremely comfortable. The kitchen, in particular, had every utensil you could imagine and the owner even provided multiple coffee and tea options (French press, percolator, drip, pour over). I would absolutely stay again
