What's nearby

  • #Architecture The Nightingale rooftop of the Museum of Art. This modern structure situated along Liberty Street in Reno, Nevada was one of the first few buildings that immediately favoured my wandering eyes when I first visited Reno. It is designed by award winning architecture practitioner Will Bruder, based in Phoenix Arizona. His inspiration with this building in the form of sculptural art is referenced from the Black Rock Desert located in Northwestern Nevada and Northwestern Great Basin, where The National historic emigrant trails can be traced and the venue of the annual event called Burning man festival.

Perfect midtown stay

What a perfectly appointed apartment. The location was perfect, with lots of cute local restaurants within walking distance. The neighborhood is a quiet residential area of older homes that have been lovingly cared for. I especially loved the decorating touches that gave a nod to local history. Will definitely look to stay here again.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful home

The property was better than expected. It was on a lovely, quiet neighborhood and the house was extremely comfortable. The kitchen, in particular, had every utensil you could imagine and the owner even provided multiple coffee and tea options (French press, percolator, drip, pour over). I would absolutely stay again

Cute Bungalow Near Mid-Town

We were in Reno visiting family for Christmas and wanted to stay somewhere nice other than a casino. The place is perfect for a couple. Historic property has been beautifully renovated by someone with a designer’s eye. I grew up in Reno, so I really enjoyed the historic memorabilia scattered about. We will be back.

Wonderful property. Clearly the owners took pride in this property and it shows throughout.

Brick Bungalow with Designer Touches

This is a charming brick bungalow in one of the best neighborhoods in Reno. There are designers touches at every turn in the cottage. Cozy, comfortable space, and so well appointed. Easy to walk to Midtown and Downtown Reno, where you’ll find great restaurants and bars, but don’t Forget to walk the neighborhood and check out all the historic homes of Old Reno.

Reno Golf Trip

Visited Reno for an annual golf trip with friends from all over the US. Wanted a nice retreat to come back to everyday after my round and I found it! This place was exceptional. Well appointed, the kitchen was stocked with every utensil and the property was very clean. Cleanliness is big for me. Hard to feel comfortable if its not. I really enjoyed my stay. The proximity to everything was a huge bonus too. Nice surrounding area. Quiet. 5 star stay for sure.

FANTASTIC!

If we could give 6 stars we would! The location is fantastic--close to our favorite coffee shop, bakery and restaurant. And--unknown to me, a great local co-op food store. The kitchen is the best we have had (we didn't have to bring our tub of extra kitchen stuff from the car). The team was quickly responsive to questions and requests. The layout is efficient; we could work in the dining area which has fantastic light, and I had room for yoga, too. The neighborhood invited walking and exploring. We had no issue with parking, which is always a concern for us because over the winter, we live out of our car (and short-term rentals and hotels), to chase snow. During the past decade, we have travelled through Reno often sometimes staying up to a week at a time. We have tried and stayed at various hotels, and eventually they disappoint for one reason or another. We are so grateful and excited that we have found a new place to land in Reno--it couldn't be more perfect for us!
