The perfect gift for every occasion

  • Enjoy your complimentary bottle of wine in front of the crackling fire in the sitting room, slip a video into the TV, or settle into a comfortable chair with a book you've been meaning to read.
    Wake up to the view out your window of tall cottonwoods shading the pond and framing the vista of the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the west.
    Our fragrant hay fields and the view of the ranch complex beckon as you walk back from your stroll along the beach at Washoe Lake State Park. You are secluded here, yet fine dining and urban life are only ten minutes away.
    David and Muffy Vhay, shown here with "Inndogs" Bo, Darwin and Folly" are pictured at the wildflower garden. They are both longtime locals, and can help you plan a perfect few days in Nevada.

    Deer Run Ranch Bed and Breakfast provides a relaxed and private getaway -- away from the harried pace of urban life, yet in close proximity to fine restaurants, casinos, and recreational activities in Reno, Carson City, and the Lake Tahoe area. We are located on a 200 acre alfalfa ranch with spectacular views of Washoe Lake and the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the West. Share this peaceful spot with countless deer, coyotes, and abundant birdlife as you stroll around our pond. The Bed & Breakfast wing of our establishment has a private entrance and sitting room with fireplace. We are the 1st B&B in Nevada to be almost entirely solar - thermal for the the hot water and PV panels for exectricity. Very exciting!

    Muffy and David went above and beyond to make us feel at home. We loved seeing the great town, listening to bullfrogs.

    Peaceful haven

    November 16, 2007

    I arrived after a week of traveling in Europe on business. I was looking for a place to decompress before going on to a hectic week at a business conference in Reno. The Ranch was just what I needed. David and Muffy were the perfect hosts. I felt very pampered. Thanks for a terrific weekend.
