rooms were clean and comfy...all had on suite bathrooms with 2 rooms sharing a bath. All enjoyed pool and spa. was a great place for a gathering...very nicely appointed.would highly recommend.. with the additional guest cottages on the property, it would be great a perfect spot for large family gatherings.
The Ranch is a wonderful place to stay. I hosted 10 family members for one week and our time there was fabulous. The house is beautiful, charming and more than comfortable for 10 people. We thoroughly enjoyed the private pool, hot tub and grounds. The house and kitchen were well stocked and we wanted for nothing. The location is in the best neighborhood in Reno and very convenient to attractions, restaurants and grocery stores. Our host, Judy, was very helpful and informative prior to our stay and during our stay. I highly recommend staying at the Ranch. We have wonderful memories of our stay.
Beautiful property and house. Perfect spot for a family gathering. Beautifully redone interior with private bathrooms for almost every bedroom. A gem for travelers to Reno!
The main house is amazing. Everything was clean and in wonderful condition. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to access. The kids loved swimming in the pool
We had some college friends gathering in Reno for the weekend. The home was perfect for us because it had ample space for us to spend time together and individual space for everyone as well. Communication with the host was easy and clear.
We had an incredible time staying at this beautiful VRBO! From the moment we arrived, the property exceeded our expectations. The home was immaculate, spacious, and beautifully decorated, offering a cozy yet luxurious atmosphere. The living areas were comfortable, the kitchen fully stocked with everything we needed, and the bedrooms were a dream – clean, comfy, and peaceful for a great night’s sleep.There were many highlights for our weekend stay, including the provided board games, gift basket, accommodation for additional guests, and outdoor space, particularly the fire pit and hot tub. We would, however, request clearer instructions about the number of people allowed to use it at a time. Unfortunately, we had 7 people in the hot tub on our first evening and the hot tub motor broke. We were told the next day that there was a limit, and we completely understand the importance of following the guidelines to avoid damage.We also encountered one minor issue with noise. A tenant who lives on the property came out and spoke to us while in the hot tub about being too loud. The noise complaint caught us off guard as it was well before quiet hours and our group was just conversing in the hot tub.Despite these small bumps, the property was fantastic, and the owner was incredibly accommodating and communicative. These issues didn’t overshadow our overall experience, and we would absolutely stay here again. We highly recommend this space to anyone.
Super wonderful. Excellent cleanliness. Very, very nice decor. Efficiency at every level. We had an awesome time and this ranch property was perfect for our celebration of family life.
