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.

What an amazing stay! The place is wonderful and big enough for my newly walking granddaughter to wander about in. There’s a covered place to sit outside where we relaxed and enjoyed the thunderstorms. Randee is a wonderful host and even more amazing person. I will try and stay here every time I come to town. I can not recommend it enough!

Our first Vrbo experience and we had a wonderful stay, the retro theme surpassed our expectations - everything was super clean and it was just like going to grandma’s house in the 70’s! Our host Randee was very communicative and responded quickly to any questions, even helped us adjust the thermostat remotely, thank you! You can tell a lot of time, love, and consideration have been invested in this property. Would 10/10 recommend!

We found it was a great location, with so many things nearby. The neighborhood was quiet and the only people we did come across were very friendly. The host was very accessible to us in the event we might have needed anything. We were very happy there. It was a great vacation! Thank you.

Blast from the past

The place was awesome and well kept. We loved the old school vibe that the place was giving and super clean. There are instructions everywhere and signs so finding stuff is very easy. The host is very responsive as well, making sure you have everything you need. Oh by the way, there was also free cupcakes for every guests which was very delicious! Would definitely stay there again.

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!

Lived Up to the Reviews - Very Happy

My family and I loved the Humble Abode. It was cozy, clean, and spacious. We loved the 70's theme. Everything worked as expected. The home was well-stocked for cooking. There were lots of towels, games, videos, and plenty of beds. Communicating with Randee was easy. She was a fabulous host. We had a great time.

Very clean and comfortable. It was like visiting your favorite auntie. Perfect kitchen with all the tools you need for anything. Quiet location but still close to casinos. Lots of space. Dining area has built in cabinets. Very well equipped and very experienced at hosting. Wonderful communication and like a visit back to a simpler time.

It is a large, well organized and clean place to stay. It is also a very convenient location located near many amenities and the freeway. The gated property was great for my dog and I liked that there was parking in the back under a covered parking area within the fence. I felt very secure and comfortable!

All Original early '70's decor

An early '70's double-wide trailer in excellent condition with all-original furnishings (not "retro"). Very well-cared for, spacious and comfortable. Very large off-street parking with closeable/lockable gate.Kitchen was well-stocked with non-perishable spices and such, and dishes and cookware.Very close access to 2 highways.We appreciated the many labels and notes for how things worked.It was a fun and unique experience.

Frozen in time 1970’s

It was cut short due to an event injury I sustained playing in a softball tournament in Carson. Stayed 2 nights instead of 4. Very comfortable and very vintage. We especially liked the welcoming homemade chocolate chip cookies that were waiting for our arrival, yummy! Has an abundance of everything you’ll need for your stay. King bed was very comfortable. Complete fenced in yard was great for our pup. It could use some landscaping, weed whacking, big pine tree in front could use pruning. Pine cones are all over the front yard, driveway and sidewalk. Seemed like a lot of folks in the neighborhood didn’t feel the need or believed in landscaping. Especially the neighbor directly to the left of the home, total disregard for keeping his yard up, fire hazard for sure. Finally, the television in the family room off the kitchen there in our opinion needs replacing. It’s hard to watch and sits too low to the ground.
