We enjoyed our stay at this tiny cabin. The cabin is on the Truckee River and was a pretty spot! The people who work here are very polite and helpful. The unit could have used a few more basic items in the kitchen like utensils, cutting board, and hot pads.

Hello River West Resort,
I stayed at your property booked through VRBO 6/11-6/12/22 (Tanzanite Cottage).
When I arrived at check in the doors were locked and I received NO codes to enter.
After trying to message though the VRBO app and trying to call the listed number multiple times and after walking to the managers hut at the entrance we decided to jump onto the back deck to see if there was instructions on how to enter at the front door.
My family, including my 86 year old mother waited on the deck of the cottage for over an hour - there was no help and no code available.
Then my nephew found an open back door.
We entered, saw the welcome card and settled in.
Because no one ever answered my texts for help through the app we decided to make due. We couldn’t leave the cottage during out stay because there was no way to secure our things so we just stayed.
At check out, I again call repeatedly and texted saying we would be leaving but I could not leave the key in the instructed place because WE NEVER RECEIVED A KEY.
After leaving for breakfast I realized I left my AirPods in the cottage. We headed back and again had no way to enter. I call and texted again but no reply.
We happened to bump into an employee, picking up the mail on the street and she let me in to get my things. This was all before 11 AM the appointed check out time. I should have had access.
On the way back to San Franciso I finally got a management call. He apologized which was appreciated but he also said he would be following up to hear the complaint. It’s after 6:30 PM and still I haven’t heard anything.
I am a frequent user of VRBO and nothing like this has ever happened to me.
This is a very cute property but if you can't gain access and have no help when a problem arises it is pointless.
Won't be coming back.

I'm a tiny house fan, and was excited to discover Reno finally had its own tiny homes for rent. I booked the Tanzanite Cottage for a staycation and alone time for just me. It delivered on all my expectations, and I look forward to staying there again or trying one of the other Gemstone Cottages. The Tanzanite is happily situated between two towering elm trees offering shade and dappled sunlight that fills the cottage. You can see and hear the Truckee River from most of the windows and most certainly from the two back porches--main level and upper level. When you sit on the upper level porch, you feel kind of like you're in a treehouse. In just about 100 steps out the back door, you can be standing on the banks of the river. The cottage was clean and comfortable. Check-in and check-out was super easy. I appreciated that the cottage and the one next door were inside a fenced area for privacy. Pretty landscaping. Kitchen has a few plates and drinking glasses, eating utensils, two pots, one frying pan, one small baking pan and a few plastic bowls for tossing salads. There is also a chopping knife and wooden spoons for use with the pots and pan. There is no spatula (I brought my own) and no oven mitt (I used the dish towel to remove items from the oven). Coffee pot worked fine--just one cup at a time--and must use coffee pods (two were provided). Bathroom is spacious for a tiny house and had a nice walk-in shower with good water pressure. The loft is cute, but I decided to sleep in the downstairs bed, which was very comfortable. It's city-living that feels like you're in the country a bit. Close to downtown and midtown restaurants, bars and shopping. There is traffic on the nearby street and the train goes through a few times during the day and evenings, so keep that in mind if you're sensitive to noise.

A great place to stay!
We absolutely loved our time at this property. The location is convenient to the Reno airport and the property is beautiful. We appreciated the locked privacy fence and the house was very clean and surprisingly spacious. The complimentary breakfast was very nice!
Our only critique would be that the roller shades do not block much light.
We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect cottage on the river for my 2 night stay. It was really smokey so couldn't really enjoy the beautiful decking. Just a word of caution to light sleepers...busy road one cottage over, and trains late at night. Otherwise beats any hotel room!! Thanks for the great treats!

Super cute tiny house and overall very clean & comfortable. However, kitchen items are sparse to say the least. If you intend to cook any meals, be prepared to improvise or just eat out like we ended up doing. Coffee maker makes one cup (requires special pod), no toaster, no spatula, one knife, one small baking sheet, no dishwasher, no dish towels, no extra garbage bags (did I mention the ants?). There is plenty of empty cabinets in the kitchen, so please add some essential items to this kitchen. Some salt, pepper & olive oil would be nice as well. We ended up eating out for the majority of our meals which wasn't our initial plan.

The house itself is beautifully designed. Didn’t feel like a tiny home at all. Felt really spacious. The outdoor patio was really well thought out. Loved spending time with my family sitting on the couch overlooking the river. The only issue I had was that the stairs to the loft inside the house and the spiral stairs outside the house was completely unsafe for small kids. My daughter fell down from the spiral stairs and got herself hurt. Thankfully it was nothing major and she was back on her feet in a few minutes. For the rest of the stay, me and my wife were running behind her all the time to make sure she isn’t falling down again.

This place is very nice, it is right next to the river. And it's close to downtown Reno. The house itself is very nice, staircase in the house is rough to get up and down, but the one outside is fine. Overall a great place to stay if you need a small rental on the river
