- Allison and I had the most amazing time in Amy and Steve's beautiful house. Carson City is set a valley close to Reno and the most wonderful views of the Northern Sierra mountains. Lake Tahoe is about half an hour away. Our daughter and her partner visited from London and shared our time here. They were as impressed as we were. We would do this exchange again. Thank you for being such great people and great exchange partners. Dave and Allison

Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Beautiful, large family home in a country setting at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains in the American West. We are located in Northern Nevada 20 minutes from Lake Tahoe, Reno or the old west town of Virginia City with numerous summer and winter activities from hiking, skiing and golf to casino shows, restaurants and shopping.
Our home is large, comfortable and bright with modern conveniences and beautiful grounds and can easily accommodate 6 or more. There are two master bedroom suites with attached bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, two additional bedrooms share a bathroom upstairs. A sunny kitchen, dining area, two living room/family room/entertainment areas and small parlor give plenty of space for gathering or a quiet read. The upstairs has a theater room were you can watch movies on the big screen. We also have a large patio, outdoor jacuzzi, and yard with beautiful Sierra Nevada mountain views. An exchange car is available. This is our primary residence so simultaneous exchange is preferred.
You will find desert sunsets, mountain lakes, wild horses and abundant sunshine year round. We are located close to the California state line and are in a perfect area to explore Nevada and California. San Francisco is an easy 4 hour drive, gold rush wine country is 1.5 hours, Yosemite National Park is 4 hours and there are many quaint gold-rush towns within a two hour drive. Las Vegas is a very cheap 45 minute flight from here.
This is the heart of the Wild West, the TV show "Bonanza" was set here, John Wayne filmed his last movie in Carson City and there is a lot of Native American culture in this area. Carson City is the capital of Nevada, the State museum is here as well as the recently restored V&T Railroad which runs from Carson City to Virginia City, the site of the "Mother Lode" of silver and gold mining.

Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our home is on a large piece of property in a neighborhood with a country feel, yet close to town, shopping and restaurants. We have beautiful views of the Sierra Nevada mountains from our home. Our yard and neighborhood is quiet and peaceful.
Carson City is the capital of Nevada, it is close to Reno, Lake Tahoe and Virginia City. San Francisco and the ocean are a 4 hour drive, Yosemite is 3 hours. There are many state parks nearby and we have immediate access to the mountains, rivers, lakes, and desert. In town is the Nevada State Museum, Railroad Museum, Capitol building and many good restaurants, shops, breweries, markets, etc.
You will see wild horses, jackrabbits, hawks, owls, raccoons and hear coyotes at night. There are very nice walking trails and a creek nearby and big, big starry skies at night. There are unlimited camping, hiking, cycling and fishing opportunities and three natural hot springs for soaking are nearby. We are located 30-60 minutes from a dozen ski areas.
You will be sharing our home with Fonzi & Oliver, self-sufficient indoor/outdoor country cats. We have neighbors that can watch the cats and property while you are here so you are free to travel.
