March 20th began this year’s spring season and it’s safe to say that the majority of us can’t wait for the weather to warm up. Being cooped up at home can take a toll on your mental and physical health which is why it’s more important now than ever to get out and enjoy some fun springtime activities in Reno. Whether you’re an avid outdoor enthusiast or just want to get out of the house to breathe in some fresh air, there’s something for everyone in Reno to do this spring - even those who are staying in short-term housing. So, what do we have happening in the Reno-Tahoe area this spring? Here’s a list of things to do that will keep you busy until the summer hits.
Spring in Reno is full of life and adventure. Not only are people getting out and enjoying the sunshine more frequently since the weather is warming up, but nature is in full bloom now. The Reno-Tahoe area offers many outdoor activities from casual walks around the river to breathtaking hiking trails. Take a look below to check out some of our favorite springtime activities to do in Reno!
Baseball GamesHere in Reno, we don’t just have baseball games, we have “Aceball” games. The Reno Aces is our city’s AAA baseball team and the locals are always excited to show their support and attend a game at the Greater Nevada Field. The games are fun for fans of all ages and they even go above your expectations with unique events and promotions like Star Wars Night and Fireworks Friday. You can also enjoy all of your favorite baseball treats such as hot dogs, candied apples, and beer. All you have to do is grab a seat, bring your hat, and have a good time!
Skiing is generally considered a winter sport, but in Reno, Nevada, skiing continues well into the spring season. The resorts are looking to stay open until May - and some even later. There are plenty of ski resorts to choose from including Tahoe Donner, Kirkwood, North Star, and Squaw Valley. Be sure to check out their websites for updated closing dates if you’re interested in planning a trip or hitting the slopes this spring.
Something we all take for granted is the natural beauty that exists around us, and spring is the perfect time to finally take it all in. Reno is fortunate to have the Truckee River run right through it which provides hundreds of serene nature scenes. There are multiple walking and biking trails surrounding the river that offer some of the best views you might come across. Just don’t forget to bring your camera to capture all the beauty that Reno has to offer!
The Hunter Creek Hiking Trail in Reno is probably the city’s most popular hiking spot - and for good reason. Found at the end of this 6-mile trail is a beautiful waterfall that visitors just can’t get enough of. The trail is heavily trafficked by friendly hikers often accompanied by friends and even dogs. Though this trail may be longer than most novice hikers are used to, it’s a relatively easy trek to get through. And with the unique waterfall at the end, you’re guaranteed to be very satisfied with your experience. If you do decide to hunt down this trail and give it a try, be sure to set aside a good portion of your day as this hike can take a while to complete. Also, be sure to bring your sunscreen! Some parts of the trail are shaded by tall trees, but there are many open areas where you’ll be exposed to bright sunlight.
Go GolfingOne of Reno’s favorite springtime activities is hitting the greens for a round - or two - of golf. The great thing about golf is you get to enjoy the great outdoors while squeezing in some mild exercise. And the sport is fantastic for men and women of all ages. So, dust off your clubs and start practicing your swing because there are over 50 golf courses to choose from in the Reno-Tahoe area. For a full list of golf courses in Reno, check out the Golf Pass site here.
While it may still be too cold to swim in Lake Tahoe, paddleboarding definitely isn’t off-limits. The Lake Tahoe waters are extremely calm and clear during the spring, making it the perfect location for stand-up paddleboarding. Beaches are also less crowded at this time of year which is a rare experience as temperatures start to rise. There are also several shops around the lake that rent paddleboard equipment to visitors, so if you don’t have your own gear, no need to worry.

Visit Local PubsAT Stay with CHC Reno, one of our favorite things to do is support the local businesses around us. The Reno and Tahoe areas are well known for their breweries and pubs.

Have you ever watched those magical movie scenes where characters get to go on a horse-drawn sleigh ride or be pulled by a team of sled dogs and thought, “Where can I do that?”. Well, those experiences aren’t just for the movies when you visit Lake Tahoe. The Borges Sleigh Ride at Lake Tahoe has been delighting visitors and providing unique winter experiences since 1969. Their sleigh rides include a fully decorated carriage complete with a majestic horse as your guide and breathtaking views of the lake and mountain ranges.
You can also be pulled by a real team of sled dogs just like in the stories. Dog sledding in Lake Tahoe is a truly unique winter experience for the entire family. Guests can sit back in the comfortable sled while an experienced musher guides a team of huskies through the snow-covered forests and meadows of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Thanks to our close proximity to the large mountain ranges of Lake Tahoe, Homewood, and Mt. Rose, we are fortunate to have several ski resorts nearby. Skiing and snowboarding are some of the most enjoyable Reno winter activities. And though they can often be done through the spring season, there’s nothing better than riding your board or skis down a fresh slope of snow. Some of the most popular ski resorts in the Reno-Tahoe area are Mt. Rose Ski Resort, Homewood Mountain Resort, Heavenly Ski Resort, Northstar California Ski Resort, and the Squaw Valley Resort.
At these resorts, you’ll find a variety of neatly groomed runs ranging in level of difficulty from “bunny slopes” being the easiest, all the way up to double diamonds which are reserved for only expert skiers and boarders. There are also gift shops, dining areas, and lodging available for guests at each resort.
Cross-country skiing also called backcountry skiing, and snowshoeing is extremely popular in the Tahoe and Truckee areas. If you’re an avid hiker, then snowshoeing is just the Reno winter activity you need during a holiday vacation. There are plenty of flat trails along the beaches and meadows of Lake Tahoe that provide every outdoor enthusiast with breathtaking views and unique experiences.
Cross-country skiing is also a common Lake Tahoe winter activity. Some of the popular trails for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are in South Lake Tahoe near Highway 89. They include Kiva, Baldwin Beaches, Fallen Leaf Lake Camp, Bijou Park, Grass Lake, and Hope Valley.
Snowmobile tours are a great Reno winter activity to help you get close to nature. Breathe in the crisp mountain air during a snowmobile tour through valleys, meadows, and mountain trails of elevations up to 9,000 feet. This winter excursion is perfect for all ages and provides the most amazing panoramic views of Lake Tahoe.

One of the first things you need to take care of when traveling to a new city is deciding where you’ll stay. The first accommodation that comes to mind is a hotel, but this isn’t the only option you have anymore. While hotels used to be the standard for short-term travel, corporate housing has become increasingly popular among business travelers for many reasons. Designed as a home-away-from-home for the employee looking for an extended stay, our guests are much more comfortable lodging with us. So, how are hotels and corporate housing different? Check out our list of the key differences between hotels and short-term housing.
It’s no secret that hotel rooms are small. The average size of a hotel room in the U.S. is around 350 square feet. This includes the bathroom and all living space in the room, which isn’t much when you put a bed and TV in there. Typically, business professionals who are traveling for their job end up taking their work back to their room which can be difficult to focus on in such a small space. Corporate housing, however, accommodates these guests much more comfortably by providing lodging with more square footage and multiple rooms. There are separate areas for sleeping, cooking, working, and relaxing.
Each of our housing options includes a full-size kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom among other unique amenities.
While hotels are designed to accommodate their guests in the best way possible, they often fall short of comfort and luxury. Small hotel rooms are often cramped and lack the necessary amenities that give you solace after a long day. Corporate housing is specifically designed to provide guests with feelings of luxury and comfort. As opposed to the usual thin sheets, scratchy blankets, and overly large pillows of a hotel room, temporary housing provides items that help guests feel more comfortable, just like they’re back at home.
We want each of our guests to feel like they’re in their home-away-from-home which is why our facilities have multiple rooms that are fully furnished and decorated. Each unit has its own kitchen, living area, bedroom, and bathroom, and high-quality pillows, blankets, towels, utensils, and more are provided to each guest.
You may have noticed the last time you stayed in a hotel that it was noisy and gave you very little privacy. And after a long day of working, the last thing you want is to hear is your neighbor’s loud television or feet stomping around. Lack of privacy is extremely high in hotels and it can be difficult to get a good night’s sleep, stay focused, or just relax. Corporate housing provides privacy in your own space which business travelers really appreciate.
When it comes to travel, where you stay makes up the majority of your costs. However, this isn’t the only thing that can get pricey during an extended stay. The price of eating out for every meal adds up quickly and in a hotel, guests don’t even have the option to cook for themselves. In a corporate housing facility, each unit includes a fully equipped kitchen so guests can make meals just like at home. Some hotels also charge guests for parking and to use other amenities such as the gym and Wifi. Also, hotels are known for sneaking in hidden fees for things like housekeeping making extended hotel stays extremely expensive.
With corporate housing, all fees are included in the quoted rate and all units are equipped to feel like home.
It’s easy to see why customer service is important when traveling. High-quality assistance from staff when planning a trip can significantly reduce scheduling time, stress, and mistakes. Our corporate housing company is specifically built around extended stay travelers. When you book with us, you know you’ll be receiving the most experienced corporate housing services available.
For long-term business travel, corporate housing is the undeniable superior. With more options, accommodations, and amenities for extended living, it should be your go-to option. If you are interested in choosing a corporate housing company for your next stay, then connect with us! Contact Stay with CHC today for more information on how we can help you.
In real estate, turnkey properties, or turnkey housing, refers to a property that is move-in ready and doesn’t require any repairs or remodeling. Essentially, turnkey housing makes moving much easier, especially when they come pre-furnished. Turnkey properties are also ideal for investors who appreciate the "hands-off" management of a rental home because they require less upkeep. When you need a simple, quick solution to your moving problems, consider turnkey housing for some easy living. Stay with CHC offers several housing options made for the individual business person or an entire family. See what properties we have available below!
How does turnkey housing work?Turnkey properties grew in popularity after the recession of 2008 because of how cheap homes were going for. Today, buying is 30% less expensive than renting and investors are really reaping the benefits of turnkey housing. Likewise, homeowners seek this type of housing when they’re working with a limited budget or don’t have the resources to carry out renovations.
How it works is either an investor or a potential homebuyer will purchase a newly remodeled home that is already painted, landscaped, upgraded, and sometimes furnished. Because the home has recently undergone maintenance, the buyer gets to save on various expenses such as holding costs and repairs. Basically, the price you see is the price you’ll pay because the home comes move-in ready.
There are several reasons people seek out turnkey properties including the investment opportunity and possible financial savings. But how do you know if turnkey housing will be the best option for you? To start, consider the following:
Typically, real estate investors have little time to devote to managing the maintenance of their properties. Fortunately, turnkey properties are low-maintenance investments that bring in added revenue with little effort on the capitalist’s end.
For homebuyers who have a limited budget, turnkey properties are an ideal option to consider. They require almost no additional costs - the price that’s listed will be the price you pay. Surveys have even found that 44% of buyers who purchase fixer-uppers end up overspending on renovations by about $25,000.
Home improvements are a big deal when you become a homeowner. You can either take on the challenge of performing the repairs yourself or hire a professional to do it for you. But, whichever path you choose, just know that owning a fixer-upper is either costly or very time-consuming.
When it comes to relocating to a new city or state, look to Stay with CHC for the most comfortable stay. We provide fully furnished turnkey housing complete with washer and dryer, kitchen and dishware supplies, cable and wifi, and all your other home necessities. Family and individual corporate housing shouldn’t have to be a hassle when you’re staying in a great city. We strive to provide high-quality accommodations that help you feel like you’re home.

The price of an apartment has skyrocketed in recent years. Not to mention they generally require you to be locked into a long term lease, which is less than ideal in our quickly moving and ever-changing world. On top of that, there are usually strict guidelines to follow and the parking situation is often a mess. Then you have to furnish your new apartment which can be costly, especially for families. Fortunately, we have the solution to all of these concerns.
You may have heard of corporate housing, also known as short term housing, but what you may not have known is that it’s not just for traveling businessmen and women. Short term housing offers a wide range of advantages not only to business professionals, but to families, college students, and anyone who’s only traveling somewhere new for a brief time. Check them out below.
Corporate housing makes moving easy, which is great news for anyone. CHC has elegantly furnished each unit to make you and your family feel more comfortable. Not only does this save you money on expensive pieces of furniture that you’ll have to lug around once you move, but it also gives your temporary home the feeling of home. Comfort for our guests is one of our biggest priorities. With that said, we also provide soft sheets and towels of the highest quality, and have equipped the kitchen with whatever you may need to make your favorite home-cooked meal.
Another reason short term housing may be a good living arrangement for you is having the flexibility to move at any time. If you’ve ever lived in an apartment you probably know that they require you to sign a long-term lease agreement of at least a year. But, some of us aren’t sure what we’re going to be doing in a year, and committing to such a long-term lease could feel restricting. And to break your lease early usually costs a pretty penny and results in you having to forfeit your deposit. However, with short term leasing opportunities, you have the freedom to move on whenever you’re ready. And even better, it costs absolutely nothing to do so.
Not only are apartments somewhat expensive and restrictive, they’re also hard to come by. Places like Reno, Nevada are vastly growing their communities, which has limited availability of open apartments. This limited availability often makes apartments more expensive and sometimes unaffordable. Apartments are often competing with families and students who are looking to stay long term, which can hurt your chances of getting the apartment you want. Corporate housing has much more availability than apartments and can accommodate families, college students, and more!
Most people find that their apartment complex does very little in regard to their services. It usually takes days or even weeks to get anyone to help you with a leaky faucet and the office staff rarely seems helpful in problematic situations. If you decide to Stay with CHC you can expect to get high-quality assistance from our friendly staff. We’re here to help make your stay more comfortable, and we’re always happy to be able to give our guests a great experience with us.
Rather than spend your time and money looking for an apartment to live in, consider choosing our short term housing options! We strive to make your stay with us as comfortable as possible. We want you to enjoy Reno and Northern Nevada as much as we do, and we’d love to have you stay with us! Check out our corporate housing units today!
Relocating to Reno, NV or any new area can be overwhelming. Even after dealing with packing up, the process of moving, and then unpacking, you're left in a completely new and unknown place. Stay With CHC has created the ultimate starter guide for those heading to Reno, the Biggest Little City in the world. Whether your destination is corporate housing or your own home, this guide will get you started on everything about living in Reno.
