Things To Do
Downtown Reno/ Riverwalk
Our downtown area features a great river-walk along the Truckee River. This area is home to several fun restaurants & bars including, The Eddy, Silver Peak Brewery, Campo, and Wild River Grill. Explore Wingfield Park or walk west along the Riverwalk to find the larger Idlewild Park.
Local Food & Drinks
Reno has a thriving restaurant industry and there are lots of places to explore! There are several amazing breweries, great all-you-can-eat sushi joints, fancy Italian restaurants, amazing and authentic Mexican food, and incredible Asian cuisines (think Thai/Korean/Vietnamese.. you name it!) You can find many restaurants online, and we would be happy to offer recommendations as well.
North Lake Tahoe
There are multiple areas to visit in North Lake Tahoe, from Incline Village to Kings Beach, there are many beaches and restaurants along the North Coast of the Lake. If you have never been to Lake Tahoe before, the crystal clear waters and towering pine trees are a site to behold and make for a great day trip. If you are planning a trip to the beach, we recommend you leave early as parking spots can fill up quickly! Sand Harbor, Kings Beach and Chimney Rock (plan on a short hike) are a few of our favorites.
