About this property

IN CARSON CITY! Conveniently central to Reno, Lake Tahoe, Truckee,Virginia City

Revisit the 70's and stay at Grandma's HUMBLE ABODE!

The family has held on to the special place that was our beloved Grandparents' home and we have made it available for you to stay in during your visit to historic Carson City and the beautiful surrounding areas.

This is a wonderful central location close to Reno, Virginia City, Lake Tahoe, and Truckee.

Our home is a large, double-wide mobile home on a large privately owned lot situated on a quiet culdesac of a neighborhood, not a mobile-home park.

The home is well maintained with an updated heating and air conditioning system, it's a very clean home with all the appliances and amenities for your comfort and convenience.

The yard is very large; you have the ability to close and lock the gate so you can watch your pets run around the fully fenced yard.

Our great fenced-in parking area is not only large enough for your RV and boat, plus several vehicle(s), its perfect for multiple Hot Rods! Close and lock the gate for added security.

Outdoor security cameras monitor the property for your peace of mind and ours.

PLEASE NOTE:

Our nightly rate of $99 is for groups of 6 or less people. Groups of 7-10 people are $119 per night (this is just $20 more per night, not $20 per person/per night), and cleaning for holidays, large groups and/or longer stays is charged at a higher rate depending on size of group and length of stay.

Our pet rate is $10/night per pet, not a flat $10 for the whole stay. We may negotiate on the pet rate depending on how many pets and the length of stay.

Initial booking quotes will be updated to reflect the correct rates as VRBO does not provide for these variables during the initial booking request process. An additional administrative fee will be added after the initial quote to cover payment processing.

Any false reporting of numbers of guests and/or pets, will incur the proper rate being retained/charged through the deposit.

Our Rental Agreement and Pet Policy Agreement (when applicable), will be emailed as a separate form(s) and must be signed and returned prior to receiving check-in instructions.

Late and last minute changes in booking dates may result in an extra charge.

Amazing stay at humble abode

The entire stay was just delightful. There was great communication with the owner and the home was not only clean and furnished with appliances/cooking ware to use, but included a batch of freshly made batch of brownies upon our arrival! It was awesome and made our evenings so restful. Thank you!

Fabulous cozy home

We loved this amazing time capsule of a 1970s home. It’s well maintained and comfy and cozy. The host is amazing at communication and even had a personal welcome note and muffins waiting for us. The enclosed yard made it easy to bring our three dogs and the pet fee was very reasonable. Highly recommend! Oh! And it’s only a 5 minute drive to the hot springs and our very favorite restaurant, Sassafras!

Blast from the past

Our host Randee was super nice. She even had fresh muffins and a greeting for us upon our arrival. We enjoyed our week exploring and hiking in the Lake Tahoe area and this was an affordable and convenient location and met all our needs. This is truly a one of a kind place and brought back many memories for both of us. Thank you Randee for going above and beyond.

Fantastic property!

The perfect place to stay for our trip to see Lake Tahoe! The house was immaculate and we loved the 70's theme. The host had treats for us when we arrived and checked in on us during our stay. My husband and I traveled with our son and 3 of his friends and we had lots of space to sleep and hang out. The front porch area is great too! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

You won’t regret staying here

If I could give 100 stars I would. I know what I booked, a double wide that never left the 70’s but little did I know how much I’d fall in love with this place. Randee was beyond helpful with everything from getting me booked, check in and even reached out to see how the stay is going. Let me tell you, this please is immaculately CLEAN! Have never felt more at home than here, swear by that. This will definitely be a frequent stay of mine. Thanks Randee for sharing your wonderful place and being an amazing host!
