Great vacation rental

The place was clean, well kept and lovely. It was the perfect size for two adults and two kids (ages 8 and 10). The small kitchen was sufficient for cooking lots of simple meals. The outdoor space was perfect for relaxing and eating meals. The location was great for walking to many restaurants. We had a very enjoyable stay!

Wonderful stay

Perfect spot for a family of four (adults) to celebrate their brother's graduation from CSU graduate program. Very close to campus, clean, very attentive host who let us check in early, and nice to have coffee at the ready in the kitchen. This is our second stay here and I would come back in a heartbeat. Very reasonable price as well.

Cozy Cottage

This cottage was just right for the two of us to use as a home base. We enjoyed visiting with our family in their various homes. All four generations of us. Also, we love the Ft Collins area. Great visit!

Nice, clean -- fantastic location

Did a 2 week course at CSU. This little cottage is a great spot for anyone visiting students who live in the dorms. Walkable to campus, right near all the dorms on campus. Lynne is very communicative -- space is private and fairly easy to find. Highly recommended.

Our stay

It was a wonderful place. We love the location. The only problem being the stairs going upstairs I did not see that in the pictures and my daughter who is staying upstairs had a very hard time taking her luggage up there. It was OK but it was just something I didn’t recognize in the pictures, but we would go back

Lovely and Convenient!

The cottage was just as listed. It was conveniently located close to CSU campus, Old Town and plenty of restaurants. We had all the amenities we needed to be comfy and sleep well! Lynn is a great Host and easy to communicate with. I stayed with my mom and gave her the downstairs bedroom. I slept in the loft, and was careful going up and down the spiral stairs, though they were adorable and a practical use of the space, they're not for anyone unsteady on their feet. Overall, highly recommend this VRBO!

Comfortable cottage in great location

A great place to stay in Ft Collins near restaurants, grocery store, coffee shops, and the university. Unit is one of three on lot but it was surprisingly quiet even during graduation weekend. Downsides: no stove/oven, spiral staircase and very high tub. Loved raincoats and bikes. Will stay there again

Great place

The property is close to the CSU campus and shopping dining area only blocks away. The cottage is well designed to take advantage of every space. It is decorated very nicely and is well appointed. It has everything you need and then some. The space is great for 2 people but could be right for 4 however. I highly recommend this property for a stay in Ft Collins.

Cheerful and sparkly clean cottage!

This place was so comfy. The host has thought of the details a guest might need. Because we were visiting our daughter we didn't test the kitchen but we really enjoyed the sunny and restful space. Thanks for a great stay!

Visit to CSU student

Everything that we needed was on the property, the loft worked incredibly well, the outdoor spaces were inviting, the site was close to campus, the place was clean and delightful. The only glitch was that we didn't drive to the house, so we entered from the sidewalk (not the alley) and then had to contact Lynne to get directions to the property itself (instead of one of the other buildings on the site). But Lynne quickly answered our call and directed us to the proper front door.

Perfect spot near Old Town

The cottage was a perfect spot for me and my wife to stay while visiting our kids in Fort Collins. Old Town and the CSU campus are both within walking distance. There is plenty of shops and restaurants nearby (the Bluebird is an awesome breakfast and lunch spot). The cottage was really clean and nicely decorated. The owners are very easy to communicate with and they truly want you to be happy while enjoying their little piece of Fort Collins. We will be back!
