Loved it and it was peaceful. Everything you wanted in this lovely home. We had a "white Christmas". The host had a bird sanctuary in the backyard that had wrens, quail, hummingbirds, even a rabbit when it wasn't snowing. I would definitely use this home again and recommend it you are ever in Reno.

The house was charming and comfortable, and what made the absolute gold star was the backyard with a beautiful view and the charming birds and wildlife. Lori was a truly amazing and accommodating host. We look forward to staying at the property again in the future. Thank you for providing such a lovely location for my family to gather and enjoy. It was a well-deserved, relaxing mini vacation!

Best.Host.Ever.

Lori was accomodating and very communicative, making herself available to answer questions, not only about the property, but also about local establishments, before and throughout the stay (we were there for 10 days). The property is beautiful, the home was well-stocked, clean, and everything my family needed for this visit!

The perfect hostess!

Very nice family orientated neighborhood. The home is quite lovely with a sense of warmth. Back yard is quaint and cozy for gathering around the fire with plenty of seating and a nice view of nature. Above all, the hostess, Lori, was great to work with and made certain we had any personal requests handled. I think we found our go-to location for Reno trips! Thanks again, Lori!

Great location. Relaxing home away

Wife and I spent a week here with me working near Reno and she working at this VRBO. The property is Lori's actual home and you're invited to settle in. Many properties, you have to do a bunch of shopping when you arrive because there are no paper towels, salt, or olive oil. Everything is here and available to you. The backyard was a special treat with tons of birds, squirrels and rabbits. There's a BBQ and a smoker available. The neighborhood is not really walkable to anything, so you'll need a car. That said, whatever you need is within 20 minutes. Would stay here again.

Visited my son

It was spacious for our stay, which was 5 adults, very clean, woke up early to watch the different birds on the yard, loved how the back yard had a view, stayed up late visiting with my son in the room with no TV! Yes there were TVs in many rooms but the one with the fireplace had no TV & was absolutely the room used most (didn't expect this) brought us together, we did catch a movie in the living room, the grill was right on for steak night, kitchen had everything we needed, the host went above & beyond, being our flight arrived early, to accommodate us, it was nice to meet her face to face, the artwork in the home was beautifully done, we tried our best to show our appreciation by cleaning the way we found it (which was clean) I'd highly recommend, it's close by many attractions, even meet the neighbor, for the price, location, host... can't beat lori, loved our stay, will be our first choice when we return to Reno!
