Charming and modern cottage. Well appointed, nice location on the river. It was nice to be away from the downtown; we enjoyed the river path which was a few blocks away. Check in was very easy. Pillows were a bit thick but otherwise a great stay.

Thank you so much for this lovely review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the cottage and its riverfront setting ; it really is one of our special spot on the river to relax while still being close to everything. Also, so glad to hear check-in was smooth and that you got to take advantage of the nearby river path. Thank you for the feedback on the pillows and we'll certainly take it into consideration as we continue to improve our guests' comfort. We'd love to welcome you back for another stay soon!

Overnight Stay in Reno

We enjoyed our overnight stay at the cottage it was very new, clean, well stocked and met all our needs size wise as a family of 4. The pastries and juices provided was a very nice surprise and we really liked having the opportunity to sit on the deck overlooking the Truckee River.

A great place to stay!

We absolutely loved our time at this property. The location is convenient to the Reno airport and the property is beautiful. We appreciated the locked privacy fence and the house was very clean and surprisingly spacious. The complimentary breakfast was very nice! Our only critique would be that the roller shades do not block much light. We would definitely stay here again!

Quiet Spot in Reno

We enjoyed our stay at this tiny cabin. The cabin is on the Truckee River and was a pretty spot! The people who work here are very polite and helpful. The unit could have used a few more basic items in the kitchen like utensils, cutting board, and hot pads.

Great rental

Very clean tiny house with the large deck and balcony we had hoped for to socially distance. Unobstructed view of the river and room to walk to the river as well. Our granddaughters loved the tiny stairs, low ceiling loft and spiral steps up to the balcony. The courtyard area gave us a feeling of privacy and safety for the girls to play. Overall an excellent stay. Would absolutely stay in this tiny house again.

Beautiful cottage

Perfect cottage on the river for my 2 night stay. It was really smokey so couldn't really enjoy the beautiful decking. Just a word of caution to light sleepers...busy road one cottage over, and trains late at night. Otherwise beats any hotel room!! Thanks for the great treats!

Great place!

Found this property online and it did NOT disappoint! The pictures look exactly like it does in person. It was enough room for my husband and 2 kids (ages 14 & 18). We were visiting our other daughter who goes to UNR. It was great to stay some where else besides a hotel, that had a kitchen and common area for us to hang out in as a family. The beds were very comfortable, towels and linens were high quality - they even had snacks, fruit, waters and other beverages in the fridge for us when we arrived. Very thoughtful and was so nice that they did that much extra just for us! We will book again!

Nice tiny home!

Our first rental cancelled our reservation 3 days before we were to arrive for Hot August Nights and we were in a panic as to where to stay as Reno gets quite full at that time. We got so lucky to find this listing. The house is really a great place to stay. The location is wonderful, right on the river. It was really nice to sit on the back deck and relax after looking at cars all day in the heat. The home is located in an RV park that is close to everything. The tiny home itself had everything we needed. I will say that the staircase up to the loft with the 2nd bed is precarious, lucky there was just two of us and didn't need to. You would also need to be quite small and agile to move around up there. Would definitely stay there again!
