Cute, Clean, and Charming Cottage

This cottage was incredibly comfortable, spotless, and well-equipped. What stood out most was the thoughtful attention to detail from the host, making the space feel inviting and welcoming from the moment we arrived. One of the nicest touches was walking in to find the smart TV set to a cozy, crackling fireplace, immediately setting a warm and relaxing atmosphere.The rooms were beautifully decorated, neat, and the heating worked perfectly, keeping us comfortable throughout our stay. The kitchen and bathroom were fully stocked, including small but essential items like a fresh dish sponge, paper towels, and plenty of toilet paper—which we truly appreciate when booking a rental.If you’re traveling with dogs or have mobility concerns, it’s worth noting that the upper unit requires navigating steep steps—about a dozen or more. Additionally, the property is located just off a busy main street, which isn’t mentioned in the listing but could be necessary for those sensitive to location details. However, this did not affect our sleep quality, and our larger dogs had no issues adjusting.The host was incredibly gracious, kind, and accommodating. The backyard is spacious, and if the wire fencing is fully secured, it will provide a safe area for pets or children to play.Would we stay again? ABSOLUTELY! It is a truly wonderful experience, and we highly recommend this rental.

Simply perfect: Clean, Charming, and Spacious

Our recent stay at this property marked our second visit, and once again, it surpassed our expectations. From the cozy furnishings to the tasteful decor, every detail adds to the overall ambiance, and we simply feel welcome. Cleanliness is always a top priority for us, especially when traveling with our family, and this property never disappoints in that regard. The property is just the right size for our family of four… lots of space is another highlight that keeps us coming back. With two energetic boys who crave their own space, renting the downstairs area provides them with the independence they desire while still being within arm's reach. Communication with the property manager has always been seamless, adding to the convenience of our stay. Any questions or concerns were promptly addressed, allowing us to focus on enjoying our time without any worries…. Though we have never had any issues. Our experiences at this property have consistently wonderful. It has become our go-to accommodation whenever we're in the area.

Nice place!

We were in Reno for the Air Races. 20 Min drive with traffic to Stead. Met our needs. We really enjoyed the deck and grilled almost every night. Neighborhoods quiet. Close to casinos, shopping and Reno airport. Our ony complaint is the downstairs bedroom that faces yard needs new blinds, otherwise, place we awesome.

We rented the upper floor only, not the downstairs portion. Is an older home with improvements particularly kitchen and windows. Nice sunny back deck. No central AC but individual room AC provided. Is on a busy street but road noise quiets down at night. No clothes washer/dryer available. Is a good value.

Just what we needed

The property was located in a great neighborhood. We were there for a youth sports tournament and it worked just right. We ended up not bringing our dog, which was good as I think she would have found the yard (and a big barker behind) disconcerting. But she is small!

Ski week in a blizzard

This bungalow is so cute. It was very clean in communication with Ginger was easy to reach. We got stuck in a blizzard and she extended our stay when the roads home were closed. One problem is we rented this home when we were going to bring a dog. We did not end up, bringing a dog, which was fortunate because the backyard is not secure for dogs. That gate is about 2 feet high and did not close and part of the fence was crushed. It would have been difficult to safely let our dog in the yard.

Reno visit

The home is older so we did encounter issues trying to get the front bedroom warm, but after reaching out to the owner, the issue was solved. The listing says the upstairs sleeps 5 but their are only beds for 4. Being a light sleeper, the noise in the front bedroom and the headlight reflection made sleep difficult, but again the owner offered a solution. Overall the area is nice, felt safe and the home met our needs.

This house very very clean upon arrival and matched the description. The main living area was even nicer in person than the pictures show. We rented the basement as well to have some more space, however they recommended accessing the lower space by the outside so we didn’t end up using it as planned. Overall we enjoyed our stay and loved the nice neighborhood and proximity to downtown.
