When you say the Sacramento airport is small, do you mean small like Burbank/Bob Hope or San Bernadion/Ontario
or do you mean small like KCI small?
I'm used to DFW and ATL, so anything seems small compared to those.

It's not just a factor of size. It's cost and convenience. Flying into Reno can be a pain in the ass, more costly most times and Sacramento is easy, larger so never really crowded except major holidays, more rental cars and just overall a good experience.
My brother lives in Roseville 15-20 minutes away and both my sister and I have flown in numerous times, her more so and it's a breeze.
They also seem to be on time 95%
The drive is easy and doing one way on 80 from the north and going through Truckee is easy and then going on the South route through Kirkwood sky resort area is also a nice way to go.
Also, no one mentioned doing a slight detour to Virginia City, an old gambling, gold rush and saloon town from the 1800's.
