Amazing owners!

Due to extreme weather conditions Reno was inaccessible and I had to cancel my stay. But I am writing this as a compliment to the owners who could not have been more gracious and communicative both with myself and VRBO to facilitate. I will definitely rebook once the Reno airport reopens! Luisa has a lot of integrity and kindness and I cannot imagine another host handling this as gracefully.

A hidden oasis in a very quiet neighborhood.

Spectacular outdoor area was relaxing and beautiful. We ate evening meals/snacks outside while enjoying the gardens. The details and design of both the inside and outside spaces of the bungalow were well appointed. The location was easy to access and quick to get to from anywhere in town. We didn't want to leave. Will definitely stay here next time we are in Reno.

terrible experience

I have a dog, he is a service dog, anyone who has an animal with that kind of help will understand me. Locals are obliged by law to house these animals, as soon as I arrived at the accommodation, the owner saw my dog on camera and said that he could not enter at property so I explained that he is a service animal. But she didn't care, and she didn't want to accommodate him. So I took my dog to a pet friendly hotel where he would stay for the entire stay. I told the owner that he wasn't with me and even so, she canceled the reservation. My dog did not enter the house. The owner of this establishment certainly does not know how to deal with people, as well as the house is located at the back of another house. I do not recommend.

Best Ever Reno Visit.

My fiancé and I had the best time in Reno and it was mainly because of the cottage we stayed at. The property is amazing, peaceful, beautiful and welcoming. From checking in to leaving was one of the most easiest experiences. Didn’t want to leave. The cottage is so lovely! Felt at home and even had a wonderful home cooked dinner with the use of the barbeque. Will definitely come back again!!

Secluded without being secluded

The property is very private but yet in a nice residential neighborhood. The gardens were nice and we enjoyed the hot tub. It is a very short trip to casinos or downtown and convenient to get in the highway to go to Lake Tahoe. I would stay here again if in Reno

Cute cottage with hidden garden oasis with a pool

Lovely Oasis In Excellent Location

Beautiful property with AMAZING garden, yard, and pool! We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay at this property which is full of positive energy and thoughtful attention to detail. The accommodation is well-appointed and has stunning views of the expansive gardens, patios, and pool. Really one couldn't ask for a more peaceful oasis, especially so close to the top restaurants and bars in Midtown Reno.

A gem

This property is a total gem. We were in Reno for a club volleyball tournament for my teenage daughter, which is always busy and exhausting and I just wanted to be away from the smoky casino scene. I found this property online and it far exceeded my expectations. My daughter's teammates and families were extremely envious to see the pictures of our home away from home! The cottage is right in the owners' backyard, which is clear from the listing, and Luisa is just as others have said -- she cheerfully greeted us upon arrival (after sending an email that laid out the check-in process and property expectations AND quickly answering additional questions I had about the area). Afterward she left us to our complete privacy, although when we had a couple of hiccups, such as a dead battery in the fireplace thermostat, she responded instantly and took care of the issue as soon as humanly possible. The cottage is beautiful and comfortable, perfectly spacious for two or even 3 people if you use the sofa bed, as we did. The yard is gorgeous and the neighborhood adorable -- we managed a couple of pleasant walks and had some good meal nearby. We will certainly return when we are in Reno again!

Private Resort Stay!

Staying here was a little slice of heaven! Louisa, the Host, is amazing, great communicator. She has gone the extra mile to make your stay comfortable. The huge property is beautifully landscaped and private - lights everywhere - very magical! Just like staying in your own private resort with hammocks, tons of comfy seating areas, beautiful heated pool and hot tub! The cottage is extremely well appointed and immaculate, softest bed and beautiful linens, has everything you need for a wonderful getaway or staycation! We spent most of our vacation at the cottage as it is so comfy and relaxing and did not want to leave!!
