"Beautiful home located within minutes of downtown Reno. It was exactly as described"-Sean 2025

Built in 1925, this beautiful property was designed by Frederic Joseph DeLongchamps, one of the most prolific architects of the southwest. The unique architecture and vintage charm will make you feel like you’ve taken a step back in time. Its historic appeal, unique history, great amenities, and amazing location make this spacious home the perfect Reno getaway.

With five bedrooms and two baths, this newly remodeled house offers more than enough room to spread out and relax. Inviting touches can be found throughout the entire home, but are especially prevalent in the open and inviting living room. You’ll love spending time in this charming room, which features a beautiful stone fireplace, tasteful decor, comfortable furniture, and original exposed beams. These beams were extracted from the Virginia City silver mines and are a true piece of American history built right into the home.

The dining room, which opens to the living area, provides gorgeous overhead lighting and a large, stylish dining table. Spend your evenings playing board games or enjoy a delicious dinner in this spacious, elegant room.

The bright and open kitchen provides everything you’ll need to whip up a tasty meal. With brand new appliances, beautiful cabinetry and new fixtures, you’ll enjoy cooking together in this charming space.

Each of the five bedrooms are tastefully decorated and have an updated 1920’s vibe. Two primary bedrooms feature comfortable beds and lovely decor. The other three bedrooms also offer an amazing place to wake up in the morning, with comfortable beds and an inviting feel. Both bathrooms are conveniently located. The upstairs bathroom features a tub/ shower combination and the downstairs bathroom provides a shower. A laundry room with a washer and dryer are available for your convenience.

The interior of the home is beautiful, but the exterior easily rivals its charm. The inviting backyard is completely fenced in so you can enjoy games or relaxing with the entire family. Keep everyone entertained with the horseshoe pit and firepit. Revel in the lush landscape, pergola, cafe lights. Sit down and unwind at dinner outside at the custom farm table and benches.

The cottage-style home looks like something out of a fairy tale. The beautiful stonework, exposed beams, and vintage windows are one-of-a-kind. The lush vines climbing the side of the home add to the appeal.

Though you’ll love this property itself, you might love the location even more. Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood, but with amazingly easy access to downtown Reno and the University of Nevada, The Stone House offers the best of both worlds. Enjoy city views through the windows while also being just steps away from beautiful Whitaker Park, which features BBQ grills, picnic areas, tennis courts, and playgrounds for the kids.

Comfortable house!

We rented the Stone house for a convention so we could avoid the casinos downtown and were very happy with our stay. It's a quiet neighborhood and the house itself was very comfortable. Plenty of room for 4 of us to relax, get work done, and hang out at the end of each day. Comfortable beds. We didn't get to use the outdoor space but it looked great!

The Stone House

We had a great time at the stone house. It's a beautiful house that's only about a 1/2 mile walk from circus circus and silver legacy. There was a box of donuts on the counter when we arrived with a very nice card. Checking in was seamless. The only thing that we would've liked was if the TV had ESPN. That was the only complaint I had. Beautiful house close to everything.

Christmas family Reunion at home on way to Mt Rose

Great!!! Good location. Clean and cute. Nicely decorated and furnished. Lots of extras in the kitchen; pots and pans, spices, condiments. We served a lovely meal for 13 one night. Seven of our party stayed at our nieces' home on the way to Mt Rose. Nine of us stayed in the Stone House. It would be lovely to be there in the summer because there was a great patio and yard with a bbq. Highly recommended.

Unique, beautiful home with great backyard

Very cool historic house with a great back yard. Large and comfortable living area. Newly updated. Back yard is great for hanging out. Minor issue noted on checkin was quickly addressed by owner and local manager. If you are not familiar with Reno, it is located near the university and on the same street as some university housing. Although a somewhat busy street, it was overall quiet in the house, except for a few hours of music from across the street one night. We always had space in front of the house for our cars to park on the street.

Disappointed

The house is fine, but for the cost I would expect higher grade amenities. My biggest issue is that we did not have hot water for the entire stay. Even after a plumber visited. I would expect some sort of refund, although no communication from the owners have been forthcoming. The house was also quite cold and the master bedroom had no heat whatsoever and inadequate bedding. Would not stay here again.

Very nice property

So let me start by saying the property was awesome there were only a few issues. One issue we had was having quite hours for the house but having a frat house across the street which had a party until 3am was not pleasant. Second the property management company lied to us about why we had to pay for another night even though our original reservation was for four nights. The company kept telling us the price went up when we had to change but didn’t tell us that until I looked at the reservation about 45 days out. It was amazing the the price per night went up the exact amount so that the 3 nights equaled what the 4 nights was on the original reservation. I will never rent a property again from My Rental Advisor.

A great wedding weekend

We had an excellent experience at The Stone House. There were six adults and two children. Our only issue was that it was a lot of people sharing the bathroom on the second floor and the downstairs bathroom is quite small. But the common spaces were usable and comfortable, including a big living room, dining table and the outside patio with the fire pit and big table. The kitchen was also good. It's an old house so has some quirks, such as a shortage of closets and the fact that most of the windows were sealed shut (air conditioning/heat worked fine). But the beds were comfortable, the bedrooms pretty roomy (except for the single) and the area, despite being in the middle of UNR's fraternity row, was amazingly quiet. (School was not in session.) The location was handy to downtown and we had no issues with parking but again, school was not in session. The rental company was very responsive to our questions. It was an easy house for accommodating a number of people since the living area was separate from most of the bedrooms.

No hot water and no TV cable until our final day

We rented the Stone House for a family Thanksgiving which included people from all over the world, ages 4 yo to 88 y.o. Bevause of its age, the property does have some charm but it's tired and needs attention. There are only two small bathrooms, one upstairs and the second bathroom is literally in the kitchen. We experience very low water pressure and cold showers each day, just not good for our elders and little ones. The door knobs are originals and aren't properly tightened so they would often come off. Finally, the television cable for the great room didn't work until our final day. Typically not a big deal but when entertaining a multi-generational group, it's pivotal. Especially during the World Cup and holiday football. The owner did get Spectrum out to fix it on the third day but the experience was not worth the price.

Lovely Home, Convenient Location

This is a historic home built in the 1920s and the house itself is fantastic. There are nice entertaining areas both outside and in the family room. The upstairs bathroom is roomy, the downstairs one a little small, but useable. The bedrooms were well situated and all were well appointed and comfortable. The outside area with the massive picnic table, grill, fire pit, and games were great! The kitchen is small but useable, although there were not many pots and pans - we bought a couple to use and left them for the next guests. Overall, we loved staying here, other than the one oddity to me - it's very clear in the listing that quiet hours are 8 pm - 9 am, so we assumed it was in a quiet neighborhood. Imagine our surprise to arrive and find that it was in the middle of a number of fraternity houses. Our stay was over a weekend, and on Saturday night one of our rental cars was egged and there were parties everywhere. It's not unexpected behavior for college students and good on them for enjoying life! But I wish we had been better informed about the location. Overall, the house was fantastic, and we would likely stay here again over the summer, but I don't know that we would repeat the experience during the school year over a weekend. We only had to call the property manager once at the very beginning of the stay and they were easily accessible and solved the issue immediately (the alarm was set and we did not have the access code).

Nice place, but some items not disclosed

The property is very pretty on the face of it, and as far as location it's solid. However, it is not disclosed that this property is on fraternity row. It wasn't really an issue, but it was weird that this wasn't mentioned. I suppose it would be off-putting to some. The house itself was nice, although the kitchen was really small and lacking ANY barbeque utensils. There was a closet that said "BBQ utensils" that was empty. Someone probably ransacked it. The second bathroom you have to be a ninja to get into because it's so tiny. The heating is a bit bizarre. Some rooms were really warm, while the others were freezing. Some of our guests had to sleep without covers, while others were begging for more. Interestingly, there was a really big rat in the backyard that was hanging out periodically. A propane bbq would be nice. I don't want to diminish the quality of the stay. It was indeed nice, but I think a bit oversold with pictures and descriptions for what it was in reality.
