About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A Modern Minimalist's Dream- near DT, UNR & FWY

Enjoy a stylish stay in this centrally located home designed for comfort, relaxation, and good energy. This is the kind of place you come back to after a full day of adventures!! Kick off your shoes, unwind, and feel instantly at ease.

The backyard is a true highlight, with towering trees that create a peaceful, shaded setting for outdoor dining or slow evenings outside. As the sun sets, the space really comes alive, string lights turn on automatically, transforming the yard into a cozy, magical spot perfect for relaxing, gathering, or simply soaking in the moment.

You’ll be ideally located near UNR, Rancho San Rafael Park, Midtown, the Reno–Sparks Convention Center, and the Truckee River’s dining and entertainment scene. It’s easy to spend the day exploring Lake Tahoe and return to Reno for dinner, nightlife, or a quiet night in.

Guests enjoy full, private access to the home. Street parking is available directly in front of the house on Washington St. One additional parking spot may be available in the shared driveway, accessed from Ridgeway Ct.

The owners occasionally stay in a separate unit at the back of the property and may briefly be in the yard for gardening. If you’re lucky, you might even meet Truffles and Portabella! Two friendly, well-supervised schnoodles who use the yard only occasionally.

The shared backyard is all yours to enjoy, featuring a deck, picnic table, and thoughtfully curated summer seating (reserved for guest use). Evening is the best time to be out there, when the lights glow, the trees sway, and the space feels extra special.

Cancelled Stay

I don’t know why this happens every time I book a VRBO, but I received a confirmation of my booking, was charged for the stay, and then later was told that they doubled booked it on another platform and would have to cancel my reservation. Mind you this was right before a big business conference and we were traveling with our family and a newborn, so we needed to be close to the venue. Disappointed there wasn’t more done by the property management to make it right.

Nice, clean, convenient BUT not a 3 bedroom house.

The house was clean, convenient and kitchen was well equipped. I booked this house thinking it was a 3 bedroom but it is not, the listing is not accurate. The house has 2 bedrooms and the “3rd bedroom” is a sunroom with no closet, no privacy (glass entry and door) and 2 fold out chairs. Just be aware if wish to stay here.

Great house close to campus

The house was a perfect place for our stay near UNR. Easily slept the 4 of us. Not sure where more people would sleep though (unless sharing the double beds). House layout is a little funky, but it was fine for us. Enough amenities in the kitchen and tons of towels provided. The extra space heaters helped a lot.
