Staycation
Nestled within 14 acres of serene outdoor living & moments away from the heart of downtown Reno. Our cottages offer elegant designs & furnishings in a private setting that is certain to elevate the guest experience like never before.
All eight cottages at The Elm Estate are unique and special to us. Six of them have an occupancy of 2 adults per unit, and additionally, two of them have occupancy for 4 adults. Four Gem Cottages face The Elm House with luxurious furnishings, each themed after the gemstones’ color – Sapphire, Amethyst, Emerald, & Ruby. These four Gems are dear to our hearts, not only because we custom designed them ourselves, but because together they form our Diamond Brand here at The Elm Estate.
Each unit has a full living area, allowing you to get in proper Staycation mode with Wifi, Smart TV, mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. These units are complete with a comfortable King size bed, boutique hotel bedding linens, and towels. They also include a full-size closet, bath & body amenities, glassdoor shower, and personal outdoor patio with fire pits and lounge sets.

Local Community

Play tourist on your Staycation in Reno and support the local community!
These are The Elm Estate Staff’s favorite picks for dining activities during the winter.
Brunch at The Stone House Cafe
Truly nothing else like it, the 1900’s stone house sits in the heart of Old Southwest Reno and has been family owned for generations. In addition, dishes are made with seasonal local ingredients, and breakfast is served until 4 pm! Experience the unique dining setting inside the Stone House or enjoy their spacious patio surrounded by plants, flowers, and trees. Perfect Holiday Vacation vibes.
“Whether you are stopping in for a glass of red, mimosas with the girls, settling in for a romantic meal or family dinner, the Stone House hits the spot. – Stone House
Coffee at The Hub Coffee Roasters
Less than a ½ mile from The Elm Estate is a coffee lover’s dream. The Hub at Riverside roasts their own coffee and has been locally owned for the past decade. Their friendly staff is sure to converse with you about your day while they make your beverage right in front of you with a big smile! Enjoy your choice of seating from an abundance of outdoor tables and barstools, or take a walk along the Truckee River with gorgeous views of the Downtown Reno skyline with your to-go cup in hand. Enjoy!
Lunch at The Cheeseboard




This boutique restaurant has been serving the community for about 30 years. With a coffee shop ambiance and wine bottles everywhere you look, this makes The Cheeseboard Bistro the perfect lunch spot. Their delicious menus feature salads, soups, sandwiches, wines by the glass or bottle, and of course-cheese boards. They are one of our preferred catering partners and our staff’s go-to for a workday lunch break!
Beer & Bar Bites at The Brewer’s Cabinet
“The beers are fine, the patio’s alive, the food is great, and the vibe is right. – Brewer’s Cabinet
