I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Reno gets a lot of attention for its casinos and nightlife but there is so much more to “The Biggest Little City in the World.” Discover unique museums and art attractions, world-class restaurants and hidden gems, beautiful parks, and walking areas, relaxing spa treatments, and more in one perfect little getaway. Need a place to call “home” while you explore the city? We have you covered with the best cottage rental in Reno, NV.
What better way to start the day than hand-made Sicilian pastries at a local family-owned bakery? Be sure to pick up a delicious coffee to go with your sweets at Dolce Caffé where everything is made for you to “Eat what makes you happy.”
The Truckee Riverwalk District is a fantastic blend of natural beauty, local art, and historic architecture. Enjoy a quiet walk along the water (a great place to enjoy your coffee and pastries), discover unique art installations, local shops and restaurants, and more.
Another place to find stunning natural beauty in an unexpected place is the Downtown Reno Library. Whether you are a book lover or not, the incredible secret garden inside this building is a must-see. The architecture and interior design of the library itself also make this hidden gem worth a visit.
Speaking of unique places, we highly recommend a visit to the National Automobile Museum on the banks of the Truckee River. You do not have to be a car person to enjoy the collection of rare, historic, and even famous, beauties on display here.
For an unforgettable dinner, enjoy remarkably fresh seafood with a view at Reno’s Oyster and Sushi Bar on the Sky Terrace. This one-of-a-kind restaurant has something for everyone including all-you-can-eat sushi, fantastic drinks, and an atmosphere of casual elegance.
The perfect home base for your Reno getaway, this charming Midtown cottage is located on a tranquil residential street at the end of the vibrant Midtown district. It is in a wonderfully-walkable area, close to shops, restaurants, Wingfield Park, and everything else Reno has to offer.
You cannot beat the location of this darling home, whether you are ready to call it a day or just want to take a little break between attractions. From your home base, you can walk to the famous Reno Arch and explore downtown, or head to the nearby Peppermill Resort to enjoy a massage at Spa Toscana.
This charming space full of thoughtful details and homey touches is the perfect place to begin and end your day in Reno. The living room features a lovely fireplace, Smart TV, and comfy sofas.
The gorgeous kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need, including whole coffee beans and coffee grinder, tea, snacks, spices, coffee maker and French press, electric kettle, blender, hand mixer, cookware, dishes, and more.
Settle in for a good night’s sleep after the day’s activities in the cottage’s cozy bedroom with a Queen-size bed and ductless heater/AC unit to keep you comfortable no matter when you stay.
Custom tile work, a soaking tub, complimentary toiletries, and plush towels add to the comfort of your home-away-from-home and make this a perfect place to relax and recharge during your stay.
Wake up slowly and enjoy your morning coffee in your private garden, or open a bottle of wine after a day of adventuring and enjoy the cool night air as the sun goes down and the stars come up.
