About this property

Gated Historic Barn House - Near CSU and Stadium!

Welcome to our renovated, historic barn house! Built the same year that nearby CSU opened in 1879, the original barn has been completely remodeled with a bar, huge living area, oversized sectional sofa, tables, large king size bed with memory foam mattress, three HD 65-inch flatscreen tvs, an HD flatscreen tv in the bar, plus a full bath, including a claw-foot tub. The open loft provides a queen-sized bed and three twin beds for over-flow company.

The space
There is not a better place in town to watch two football games at once. Plus, the CSU stadium is a short walk away.

The lower level features a new theater room offering a second large common space, a large bedroom with a comfortable queen-sized bed, dressers, tv, as well as another bedroom with a queen-sized bed and full-sized washer and dryer.

Between the two bedrooms, the bathroom offers a huge two-person tub, tv, and a custom rock and tile shower. Winter nights will be cozy with the heated flagstone floor.

The kitchen/bar is fully stocked with dishes, glassware, silverware, utensils, cookware, appliances, paper products, and, of course, plenty of coffee. There are extra blankets, pillows, and throws. Enjoy books, games, and satellite tv as well.

Wi-fi and numerous outlets will make computer use a breeze. Walls feature original stone and barn wood, as well as metal and wood ceilings, unique lighting, and rustic décor. The expansive entrance offers coat hooks and room for boots, skis and bikes. Visitors are in awe when they first step inside this cozy, roomy, and unique barn.

Just outside the barn are two patios - one huge flagstone patio with chairs, tables, and umbrella, and another that is covered with lighting, fans, has fire pit and a gas grill. The large parking area can accommodate several vehicles, and the gates can be closed in evening for security. Mature trees and beautiful landscaping keep the property cool and peaceful in the summer. Staying here is an experience!

** Please note that our barn house does have a spiral staircase and a high, open loft area.

Wonderful Place to Stay

Our group had an amazing time here. The barn is so beautiful! It almost has the feel of being in the country even though it’s right in town. It’s a great location to be in. I definitely recommend this place as a place to stay for people with a big group.

Best Place in Ft Collins

Great place for families, guys trips, girls trips, family reunions, etc. Clean, lots of space and a well-stocked kitchen if you’re looking to cook your own meals. The host family is also fantastic. Highly recommended (I hesitated to review because I don’t want your booking to interfere with my next trip!)

AMAZING

Our family and friends of 12, ages 6 mos-48, loved staying at the barn house. The location was perfect for our softball tournament. We really enjoyed the covered patio with ping pong table. We recommend this place and are looking forward to booking again. Owners were great and answered all questions in a timely matter.

Hidden Gem

We stayed for a long weekend with extended family who was visiting out of state, we were able to have a baby shower celebration here and it was the perfect space. The barn house is so unique and beautifully renovated, the rooms are comfortable and rustic. We loved our stay and the hosts were so accommodating. I would highly recommend the beautiful barn house for any stay or small celebration. Thank you for having us!

Great place to gather!

This property was beautifully decorated, awesome great room where people could converse, do activities at the table and prepare snacks in the kitchen. The loft where the kids slep overlooks the dining room/living room so when we wanted to have private conversations with just the adults, we had the kids watch a movie in the basement bedroom. The basement bathroom had an amazing shower & tub!

Cobb Lake Road Race

I stayed here with the 7 member team of the MSU Cycling team. What an amazing place! Perfect for a mixed-group of college students to hang before and after the race. Between darts inside and ping pong outside they were entertained! The downstairs shower was loved by all! Even after riding a 50 mile race they waited their turn to use that shower! Excellent location in Ft. Collins. We all walked to the campus and toured all through there while working our way to old Town - a great walk to stretch the legs! The hosts were awesome and had the place perfect! Communication was great and we had no problem! I highly recommend this awesome and very unique property!!!

Surprise Birthday Getaway/Concert

A group of 11 (14 yr. - 53 yr.) came to Fort Collins to celebrate my husband's birthday and see a concert. The Big Barn didn't disappoint. It was cozy and quirky and perfect for our little get away. I was nervous about the barn only having two bathrooms, but it was never a problem! Plenty of silverware, cups, plates, etc for our group and more. There were even cabinets with sugar and spices. Plenty of paper towels, etc. It was so easy to communicate with Russell when questions did arise! Would highly recommend the big barn. It was so conveniently located close to Old Town and easy to access off the highway (coming in from Denver Airport).
