Very clean and spacious accommodations. I traveled with my husband and mother to visit my son at CSU. We loved the proximity to campus and old town Fort Collins, and the large space meant we had plenty of room to spread out.

The space was perfect for our last-minute preparations for my daughter’s wedding. There was plenty of space to put together bridal bouquets and the host even shared his glue gun with us. The iron/ironing board came in handy, too. The host was very responsive. Quiet neighborhood with walking trail nearby.

Outstanding Home Away From Home

We could not have asked for any better experience. The location of our "home" was easy to get around in FTC and surrounding cities. The hosts were outstanding at making sure the place had everything needed for a month-long stay. The courtesies shown were so thoughtful. The landscaping is gorgeous, and they shared bouquets of flowers to make it feel like home. If we are in the area again - most definitely we will stay again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Lovely place

The photos don’t do this this property justice. It is vary spacious. It s a walk-out basement apartment with great southern exposure. We never heard the owners that live on the main level. The owners were friendly and very responsive to anything we needed. Would definitely stay here again.

Summer trip

This was one of the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed in. So many neat little touches. Loved having the ice cream in the refrigerator and coffee cake waiting for us. The flowers outside are absolutely gorgeous. The owners could not do enough for us. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet peaceful getaway. Hopefully we will be back again.

Great place, Amenities galore

Don’t know where to start, communication John made everything so easy. The apartment was just as pictured and the pictures do not do it justice. Full disclosure, this is a basement apartment, but it gets tons of natural light and has more than enough overhead lighting. We often find limited lighting in rentals, NOT here! Comfortable furniture and beds, sparkling clean, plenty of linens. Well appointed kitchen, with all the appliances you need. Very pretty landscaping, in a quiet neighborhood. The real standout are the thoughtful touches. Coffee, tea, yogurt, and chocolate croissants for breakfast, pasta and wine for dinner! We would love to come back
