We are happily retired with many interests and a love of travel. Peter owned his interior design and general contracting firm for over 25 years, but also had an early career as a commercial pilot. Jan is a retired human resource professional. We both love good food, good wine, the outdoors and exploring new places and meeting new people. One of the joys of being retired is the freedom to plan our adventures without calendar constraints. The world is our candy store and we are open to most destinations. Make us an offer! We promise we will respond. We will take great care of your home and leave it just like we find it.

Read More...Jan and Peter were the most accommodating hosts possible. Their large and beautiful home is wonderfully situated in scenic, historic Carson Valley. It is a beautiful, short drive from the beauty and excitement of Lake Tahoe, Carson City, Virginia City, Reno, and the lovely and quaint Genoa. There is so much to do in close proximity to the house, and, there is the quiet and peacefulness of a small farming community when you feel like relaxing and listening to the wind chimes and the gentle mooing of cattle. We couldn't have enjoyed it more.

Read More...This exchange was fantastic – made better as Jan & Peter communicated exceedingly well and were thoughtful and thorough. All pre-swap communication was answered quickly and fully and culminated in a face to face Skype call between us all. As we were going to their house first we would not be able to introduce them to our home physically, and so we took them around it by Skype to point out those small but significant things which can be very frustrating. Peter and Jan met us as soon as we arrived in Gardnerville and took us for a meal at the side of Lake Tahoe. We were surrounded by snow topped mountains, a deep blue sky and lake and many gently bobbing boats. Their home is large, spacious and nicely furnished. The kitchen and bathrooms are modern and in top order. Their home is an area of outstanding natural beauty. The views from the Great Room and veranda were of grasslands punctuated by horses and cattle against the backdrop of snow covered Sierra Nevada Mountains. We even had deer come into the garden on 3 occasions. They had arranged for some neighbours and friends to meet us that afternoon. These people invited us to a concert and meal during our 5 week stay. Meeting such friendly people made a great difference, especially when we had questions. From this base we were able to have days out to Lake Tahoe, Virginia City, Reno and our favourite Mono Lake - great to have a float in as the high salinity makes it similar to the Dead Sea. Pater and Jan are warm and hospital and a joy to know. We thank you both for a great exchange. Sue & Denis Harding

Description de notre quartier et ses alentours
A small, quiet, and friendly semi-rural neighborhood. Gardnerville is a ranching and farming community founded in the 1860's with numerous cattle ranches and farms still in operation (some say there are more cattle here than people!) It is 8 miles "to town" for groceries, local eateries, movie theater, etc. There are 2 hiking trailheads within walking distance and many others are nearby. Lake Tahoe and ski areas are an easy 20 minute drive. A perfect location for getting away to enjoy a quiet, relaxed environment and close enough to the city for dining, entertainment & gaming, and shopping. There is much to see and do for those who want to explore and stay busy!
Need more? San Francisco is a 4 hour drive. Napa Valley is 5 hours away. Yosemite National Park is 3 hours.
