Tucked away at the southeastern corner of lovely Washoe Valley, just 10 minutes from the state capitol of Carson City, Deer Run Ranch is as bucolic and friendly as B&Bs get. Enjoy beautiful blue skies and stellar views of the Carson Range to the west. Both rooms offer a private bath with TV and WiFi; they share a good-sized sitting room, where breakfast is served, plus coffee service. There is a private entry that leads to a pond and view of the Sierra. Closest neighbor is Washoe Lake State Park. Thanks to a new highway extension to the north, it’s only 20 minutes to the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Guests come from all over the world, especially from California and the West. No pets allowed, but there are a couple of dogs on property to keep visitors company.

History: The spring on the property was used as a still during prohibition, while the gardens provided produce to Virginia City during its 19th century mining boom.

Unique Setting: The ranch is a working alfalfa/grass hay operation complete with farm and ranch equipment. The views are vast and inspiring. There’s plenty of bird and wildlife viewing, plus a pottery studio for viewing and buying. “There’s also a garden, and people can wander wherever they want,” says Muffy.
