About this property

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.

We had a wonderful time staying in home! Catherine was very responsive to any questions we had prior to and during our stay. The home was very clean and had everything we needed.

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!

Annual girls trip

For our annual girls trip 2023, we decided to stay in Reno. Our VRBO was amazing! Plenty of room for the 6 ladies on our trip. The rental was beautifully decorated, the couch and beds were very comfortable. The backyard was the best as we were there during the Hot Air Balloon festival. We sat at the patio table, drank our coffee and watched all the hot air balloons. This VRBO is conveniently located to easy access to the freeway. We definitely recommend this VRBO to anyone interested in visiting Reno!

Review

The property is a nice home with a great backyard view. We were very excited for are stay. Upon arrival we did find some issues with the cleanliness. The house was dusty and spiderwebs were noticed in the corners. We didn’t complain because we didn’t want to be nit picky and didn’t want a cleaning service to show up while we weren’t there. The outside twinkle lights and front door motion lights did not work. However, after contacting the host the twinkle lights were fixed within two days. The front door motion light was not fixed. Communication appeared to be good with the host until we left. I asked the host for a private review over the phone to discuss some of the issues we noticed which included a broke recliner, stained dirty outdoor cushions and the cleanliness issue. That request was denied and communication began to break down. The host immediately began to accuse me of damaging these items which we did not. In the end it is a pretty home, the neighborhood is quiet and has a nice backyard view. I understand that being a host can probably be difficult at times but I felt the breakdown in communication and accusations at the end of our stay were very unfortunate.

This place was such a cute little abode with plenty of space for my family. The layout of the house made it feel cozy and connected. The backyard was great, perfect for watching the sunrise, hanging out, or gathering around the table. The location worked out really well for moving my daughter into UNR — minutes away from the grocery stores, gas, and all the essentials she needed for school. As a bonus, Lake Tahoe was just about an hour away, which made the trip even more enjoyable. We really enjoyed our stay!
