About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

West side retreat, Modern Homestead

The property will still have everything you need to work or relax year round. There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms, although the ensuite master bath is on the small side. A very spacious gourmet kitchen, high speed internet and a dining room for 6 or as a temporary office work area. The backyard highlights magnificent views of Peavine Mountain range. Stepping out of all rooms on the backside of the house to a fully furnished backyard. Complete with a firepit, seasoned wood, BBQ, dining table and two separate seating areas. Enjoy those views with your morning coffee or in the evening sitting around the backyard firepit.

Very comfortable, great location

We were in town for a family funeral and didn’t actually spend much time at the property, but it was very comfortable and nice to have a quiet spot to return to in the evenings. It was a great location for us.

Wonderful, Quiet, Clean - Higley Recommended

I'm happy to have chosen this property for my family & I. We stayed for a week and everything was great. The property is very clean & the nights were quiet & peaceful. Tucked away with views from the private backyard yet just a short drive to shopping & anything around the Reno/Sparks area. Several little details like some great books to read & games to play made the stay even better. We'll stay again.

Our last VRBO in Reno was a huge disappointment and we were hoping for a clean, uncluttered, quiet, comfortable accommodation this time. This property measured up in all respects and we really enjoyed our 10 day stay. Hoping it will be available for our next visit.

This was a roomy, nice and clean place to stay, it also had a cabinet full of games to play. The location was perfect for what we needed. Suggestions I have would add some pot holders for the hot pans and maybe some more bath towels. I recommend this property.

Great, quiet spot for the family

Our families shared this property with another family for a basketball tournament. The house was very clean, spacious, and well stocked with kitchen items! We cooked daily and could find everything we needed and then some! The neighborhood was nice and peaceful and a quick drive to the convention center. The backyard was beautiful and peaceful. It was enough space for the kiddos to run around or the adults to gain some quiet time for coffee or a glass of wine. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful place to stay

We stayed here for 4 days during our son’s wedding. This house is exceptionally comfortable with lots of amenities. Unfortunately due to the fact that we had so many family wedding activities we were not able to use the outdoor fire pit but it looked super inviting. The neighborhood is very quiet and conveniently located to any place you need to go to in Reno. We would highly recommend this home.
