Great location for Fort Collins weekend

The cottage is in a great location to downtown. We were able to walk to downtown for dinner and shopping. Otherwise it was a nice central location to enjoy other Fort Collins amenities. The host was very responsive when we had questions.

Great little place

This house was exactly what we needed for our stay in Fort Collins. Easy access to parks and downtown in a quiet neighborhood. Comfy beds too. Stacy went above and beyond as our host. The staff was helpful too. We would recommend this place to anyone needing a place to stay in Fort Collins.

Ok stay

Our check in was really slick and easy. Communication of how to check in and out was great. Location was close to a lot of different restaurants, grocery stores, and bike/running trails. A couple of things I was disappointed with is the cleanliness of the house and reported it when we first checked in. They offered to send a cleaning crew but I declined as they couldn’t say for certain whether it’d be the original cleaning crew or different one. I found some dead bugs like mosquitos/moths on interior window sill and floor in kitchen. Called property manager(Randi) on our 2nd day ant the house and was advised it’s normal this time of year in Colorado for bugs to be in house. They offered to send cleaning crew again but no guarantee there wouldn’t be bugs again. The bathroom tub had a slow drain which I also mentioned to property manager but advised no one could come due to it being 4th of July which made sense but no one came to our house after the 4th of July while on our stay. I offered a couple of different solutions for us to change our stay due to the cleanliness issues but property manager advised this was normal this time of year and not an urgent matter. I asked to speak to someone higher up but wasn’t given the opportunity. While there were some good things I liked about the property my concerns about the home during our stay seemed to not be a big deal with the property manager. Very disappointing.

Easily a 9/10

This is a cute little house in a nice quiet neighborhood. As advertised, it is close to Old Town and had pretty much all we needed. The kitchen was very clean (stove and fridge were spotless) and we were pleased with the amount of cupboard space for our food and supplies. We used the washer and dryer; no complaints there! The host was responsive and helpful both before and during our stay. This is a small house, but perfect for my husband, teen daughter, and me. The pictures on the website represented the property accurately. We didn't end up using the bikes, but noticed they had helmets and a bike lock, so would've had everything we needed. The back patio was a peaceful place to enjoy morning tea. The only reason this isn't a 10/10 rating is that one of the beds sagged a bit in the middle. We slept well enough, but that adpect could've been better. Overall this is an awesome little house that we'd recommend to our friends or family.

Gem of a place!

This was an amazing last minute booking for some family and friends to enjoy a getaway to Fort Collins! We arrived to town a little early (like 30 min) and were able to check in to drop our bags off! Great communication and adorable little place!!

Cute place fairly close to campus

Overall, it was a nice place. The bedrooms are small, and only room for 1 nightstand which is a fair inconvenience for one, if staying as a couple. Also, Internet was down when we arrived, and there was no resolution till the following day, which was very disappointing after a full day of travel, and not having any TV or Internet. However, it was resolved the next day, and the rest of the stay was fine.

Excellent house for college tour visit

This was a lovely house to stay at for three nights while touring CSU with my prospective student daughter. Comfortable beds, modern kitchen appliances, tastefully decorated, and walk-able to CSU campus and Old Town shops and restaurants. We didn't need anything from the owner, but she was very communicative and available if needed. My only suggestion to the owner would be to install darker window shades in the front bedroom as the neighbor across the street has a bright porch light that stays on all night. I slept just fine with it, but had to swap bedrooms with my kiddo as it was too bright for her.

Little Blue House

We stayed here while getting our college student set up in their new rental house. This house was what the listing advertised. While the house was clean, it could use some polishing up. Some items are in need of some TLC. The back yard was not spruced up and you must dodge bushes to get to shed with bikes. Not the best but not the worst place to stay.

Charming Cottage

This cottage was very cute and well maintained. It is located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, the perfect distance for walking to Old Town Fort Collins. Although the house is small, it worked for us since we were kept busy during the day and we were able to enjoy sitting on the back porch/deck in the morning and evening. Lovely!

Fantastic Stay / Location

Very comfortable stay. The cottage is in a great location and it’s a total bonus with the bikes included. Accessing Old Town is as simple as going to the street corner, turn left and you’ve arrived within a few blocks. We visited with our daughter who’s attending school, and we were ideally located close to the campus and Old Town. Location location location. Clean, comfortable, easy. Stacy is a great host, was responsive to any questions. Future trips will be at this location or any other location, close to campus/old town, that Stacy has to offer in her property portfolio!

Lovely Location

A 15-20 minute walk from Old Town and a lovely neighborhood were our main reasons for selecting this home. While it's an older property, the photos accurately show the style and feel of the home. We felt there could be more attention given to cleaning and provision of amenities, as it was certainly adequate, but not impressive.
