A great place to stay when away from home. We wanted for nothing! Beautiful, quiet and serene! Kaati was very attentive to all of our needs. Nothing was to small. We will definitely be back
Loved this location and the views! Drank our coffee every morning in the backyard overlooking the valley, and spent our evenings around the fire. The house had everything we needed and loved its charm! Just a short drive to Genoa and Virginia City. We also enjoyed the great food and brew houses in Reno.
We came out to Reno for a wedding. We also wanted to relax and meet up with family. From the comfortable beds, the beautifully sunrises, the view of downtown town and the large living area, we would stay here again. We especially liked the back yard and spent an abundance of our time outside.
Very unique mid century house. Perfect for entertaining. The backyard was where we spent most of our time. Breakfast on the patio, lunch on the patio, dinner on the patio. Smores on the patio using the firetable. Couldn't get enough of the view and the sounds of the peacocks echoing through the canyon.
Backyard is amazing to sit out and relax. Great Location. Everything was clean and in order. Kaati was responsive and helpful. Would stay again for sure. Thanks!
We loved our time at this beautiful home. The property had everything that we needed for our brief stay. The location is in a quiet neighborhood that is a short drive to the downtown area. The host was kind and available if needed. I would definitely stay here again!
The house was just as pictured/advertised. The location was central and easy for us. I loved getting up, making coffee and sitting with the view in the morning. Kaati made us feel welcome.
It was a great place to serve as our home base and resting location for the annual Volleyball tournament.
Very spacious and lovely rental. Great views of downtown Reno from the great room. We enjoyed 4 days here for a ski trip with our family of 6. Very comfortable evenings spent lounging in the main room and with the giant TV. We appreciated the great communication with Kaati.
Qual Run House was a perfect location for 13 people to celebrate and honor our 97 year old Reiko xoxo. Five of us stayed at the house while others joined us one evening for the celebration. The open floor plan and comfortable furniture were perfect!!! The scenic views of Reno were an additional bonus. This home is centrally located to downtown, the Truckee River, and Rancho San Rafael Park. Thank you Kaati!! You made our stay extremely hassle free. We are so appreciative that Qual Run allows events. We Love this home and I hope we will be celebrating a 98th birthday here next year!!!!!!
We really enjoyed our stay. House was perfect with great views of the city. Felt like we were home. Owner communicated quickly and everything was as advertised. We will be back.
Enjoyed our stay with our family. It was a perfect location and house. It is very spacious. Enjoyed the city views. Kaati was great in providing all the information we needed.
My wife and I joined our 3 adult kids for a few days stay here in Reno. We've stayed at a dozen or so VRBO's and this was if not the best, very close to the best. Clean, spacious, well equipped, comfortable, and interesting with a great view. Kaati could not have been better to work with. We had some logistical situations arise and she was very flexible and accommodating. Overall a very positive experience.
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful 1970s bohemian house. It easily accommodated our large group and we loved the outdoor patio for dining. The hiking trail nearby was a huge bonus. Kaatie is a lovely host and communicated promptly with our questions. The neighborhood is charming. If we find ourselves in Reno again with our family, we will definitely stay here.
Great mid century home in quiet upscale neighborhood. Clean and well appointed. The host was as good as can be with communication and advice. We hope to come back and stay again!
We stayed here for a baseball tournament. It was close to everything. We enjoyed coming to the house and have a nice cooked meal after a day of baseball! The view of the city is amazing. We enjoyed having a nice meal outdoors while the birds chirp! If you come to Reno I recommend you stay here!
That house is the most comfortable, feel wonderful, happy home I think I have ever been in. Every room is spacious, not too much decor, but just enough. We could not have been happier unless there were no mosquitos. But we don't have choices where their concerned. Were booking again next year. Absolutely loved it!
Charlie and I had a wonderful time we went to Reno to visit my grandkids and my son and daughter in law. It was funny because I couldn’t find the TV way. They were just pictures on the wall lol I just hit the remote that I saw in the basket and turned it on button on and it was actually one of the painting on the wall was the tv.
I never saw anything like that before. I would love to have one. Everything was so beautiful and nice. There was no need for anything everything was there are you have to do is go to the grocery store. Again it was a beautiful stay! The host was. awesome!!!

About the host
Hosted by Kaati Gaffney
Hi, my name is Kaati (rhymes with Scotty). Thank you for your interest in Quail Ridge House. This was my primary home for many years and I ran my little festival marketing business from it. Now I split my time between Reno and Humboldt County on the coast of California.
Why they chose this property
Quail Ridge is such a cool house. It has the big Wow factor with great views. Plus it is right on Steamboat Ditch Trail. Excellent for walking or riding your bike. I love it and I hope you do too!
What makes this property unique
Views out every window - In the country but just 10 minutes from downtown - Open floor plan with high ceilings. - Quiet & safe neighborhood. Samantha (housekeeper) and me are always available by phone or text if you have any questions.
