Great place for our family. BEAUTIFUL back yard with hiking trails right out the gate. Big enough for everyone and cozy enough to force the kids to hang out with us. They had a blast as we all did would definitely stay again.

This was an ideal spot for our Thanksgiving gathering! Family-friendly, plenty of kitchen space, large fridge, and there was an extra folding table and chairs to accommodate everyone. We made good use of the game room, walked the trail behind the house, and enjoyed watching the sunrise from the patio.

Great stay!

We had a great stay in Reno! The house was very spacious and clean. It was well equipped with everything you need for a stay. The beds were comfortable and clean. The patio was a great additional space with a beautiful view of the Reno skyline, and an amazing little nature trail accessible from the back gate. Tabitha was a fantastic host! Very responsive and friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

A Great house with plenty of room

This property has so much space! It’s comfortable and clean. We appreciated all the extras that made it even more comfortable with everything we needed. The backyard is relaxing with a view of the canyon and downtown. We hung out all day at the house and it felt almost as if we were home.

Graduation

We had a great time! Host was helpful and the house had great hangout spot for our older kids in the garage. Plenty of parking. Some of the furnishings need some TLC, you can tell they’ve been used and likely abused by other renters. Our other rental canceled we were thrilled this was available and fit our group! No complaints! Would recommend.

Family friendly home

Great location for our needs: close to downtown as well as parkland/open space. Home is not new but clean with all necessary amenities. Family friendly with plates and cups for the littles, as well as toys, small furniture and board games. Backyard looks towards downtown…great view at night. Initial contact with owner took a few days, but she was very informative with suggestions for our visit and when I had a question during our stay she responded right away.

4 bedrooms have doors

Overall, a good place to stay. From reading the description, I assumed that there would be 5 bedrooms with doors. The "5th bedroom" has no door or privacy and is adjacent to the living room. The only inside access to the garage is also through this bedroom. This created problems for the two people trying to sleep in that room. We were there in the summer, and the A/C unit had trouble cooling the main living area in the heat of the afternoon. There was excellent communication with the owner.
