Lots Of Room - Heating Problems
We generally enjoyed the property, with the exception of heating problems during the entire time. The host was on it, but the results were less than satisfactory. Spent the last night with only small space heaters...cold night.

Family reunion
This house is great for multiple families. Plenty of space inside and out to enjoy everyone. It didn’t feel crowded even with 8 adults 1 child and a dog. Great views of the mountains and downtown Reno. Benjamin is a great host. If you do need to contact him he responds quickly. We would stay here again. Thank you again Benjamin we had a great time!

Great house with ample space!
This is a great house for big groups - there are four bedrooms and other options for sleeping as well! Great views, big back yard, easy parking. We also loved that the host labeled all of the cupboards and drawers throughout the house.

Great location for Family gathering!
We rented this home for our sons graduation from UNR in May and we're very happy with everything! The communication with Ben was great, and he was quick to respond to any questions that we had. The location was perfect, close to our son's house, and not too far from campus. It was very well equipped with everything that we could have needed, and perfect for all of our family with plenty of sleeping space down stairs, and three well appointed rooms upstairs. The backyard was spacious, with a fire pit, different seating areas, and a barbecue, which we did not end up using. Neighborhood was quiet, and we would definitely stay again!

Plenty of room for watching the superbowl and we cooked the time we was there so save us a lot of money not eating out. We will return in the summer time where the kids can enjoy a bonfire in the back yard. Thank you Benjamin.
