Down the hall from the common area, you will notice the 1st, master bathroom on your left which connects to the master bedroom in a Jack-and-Jill style. Continuing down the hall you have 2 bedrooms on the right, both extremely comfortable queen beds, with full closets. These beds have been tested and proven to be a fan fav for each of our guests-all ages!! Across from these 2 bedrooms, you have the main entrance to the primary bedroom featuring a king suite with private closets (his & hers) and in room smart TV! This bedroom includes has direct access to the upper level deck and the cozy fire pit area.
Downstairs, you will find the second full bathroom and a bedroom with a futon and 2 twin bunkbeds, one with a trundle.

We loved our stay at this place and found the host very accommodating and communicative! The property was beautiful in a quiet neighborhood and the bedrooms were so cozy, they even had fans in each bedroom and really put a lot of thought into the mid century decor. We went with a group of 8 to use all the bedrooms and a couple bunk beds and we will be back!

We spent Thanksgiving week here and thoroughly enjoyed the house, the neighborhood and the foothills trails and nearby Rancho San Rafael Park. We also wanted to be close to UNR, and this location was within a couple miles of campus. The kitchen was superbly equipped for making Thanksgiving dinner, and our family enjoyed the living spaces for watching football, playing board games, XBox. Everyone in our family lifts weights and runs, so the fitness equipment in the garage was super useful, as was the proximity to the expansive trail network. Beds and baths were as comfy and clean as described and photographed. Hosts are amazing with communication and availability to offer tips for things to do or assistance with stay details. We felt so well taken care of, and we appreciated this choice for staying in Reno.

Comfortable house
House had plenty of room for our party of 7. Kids loved to hang out in the extra space in the room with bunk beds. Back porch was nice and relaxing to enjoying a morning cup of coffee. The welcome bars were a great touch too. The backyard is way bigger than the pictures show. Plenty of room to run around and play volleyball. We were busy all weekend, so disappointed I didn’t make time to use the gym in the garage. It looked well set up for a nice workout. The communication with owner was stellar. Owner and host were always available to answer any questions in a timely manner. Will definitely rent house again on our next trip to Reno. Location was just 10-15 min from lots of places.
