Wonderful weekend stay
Reno has a wonderful slice of heaven in the woods and was very nice and communicative during our stay. The space was beautiful and well-furnished. Clarification that there is no kitchen sink or hot tub, but there are other kitchen amenities and a jacuzzi tub. My husband, dog, and I really enjoyed the proximity to the Dryden Tract and the incredible sunlight coming in from all the windows. It's a great weekend stay!

An extended stay
We stayed for 2 months as I recovered from surgery. We were the first guest to stay. It is a lovely private location in the forest with great trails right across the road. No curtains needed looking out into the woods. The host is awesome. We gave him some recommendations that we hope he follows up on to make the next visitors stay a little more comfortable. A few things to be aware of. There is a steepish hill to climb to the door on an approx. 300 m path. Able bodies can totally do it, just be aware if you have heavy luggage or struggle walking it may be a challenge. The internet occationally is spotty. There is no kitchen sink however there are ways to wash your dishes. Enjoy your stay!

Quiet Getaway
I wanted a couple of quiet days away, and that is what I got. Lots of natural light in the space and calming views of the forest, and there were beautiful hiking opportunities close by as well!
