About this property

Dog Friendly with Private Fenced Yard, close to CSU and Old Town

Welcome to the Funk Casita! Conveniently located within biking distance of Old Town and walking distance to CSU campus and Canvas Stadium, steps from Spring Creek trail and on the Remington St bike route. Enjoy the 2 available cruiser bikes for a quick spin to a multitude of nearby dining and brewery options. Bring the pups and enjoy the private, fully fenced yard and relaxing outdoor space. This cozy 2 bedroom home has a nicely sized fully equipped kitchen if you prefer to dine in!

This cozy Casita sits on a 1/3 acre lot along with our primary residence. The houses are separated by a full-height secure fence. The casita yard has a 6' high fence on 3 sides, and a 4' high fence on the side that borders the alley/parking area. We do have three dogs, Ziggy, Milo & Sophie that may sniff at the fence.

Access to and parking for the Casita is via the alleyway only. The primary residence yard is off limits to guests, and we ask that guests not walk through our yard to get to the street.

Our parking will accommodate two mid-size vehicles but you must be able to maneuver the vehicles to fit on the gravel parking pad and cannot park up onto the grass or stick out into the alley. One big truck will fit just fine, but if you have a big truck and another vehicle, you may need to park the other vehicle on the street and walk down the alley to get to the casita.

If you are looking for a place that has more than 2 parking spaces directly next to the house, this is probably not the best option for you. Parking on Mathews is 2 hour only at all times because of our proximity to CSU, however they do not patrol after 5 or on the weekends.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Brought our dogs along and the fenced in yard was great! Just large enough for 2 big dogs to run a short distance. Kitchen was fully stocked to include coffee and creamer which was a really nice touch. Host was very friendly and engaged with us through the fence when all the dogs were outside. She even includes amenities for dogs such as bowls and toys! We would definitely rent from her again when we go back to visit family.

Wonderful Stay in Cute Cottage

We had a fantastic stay and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Donna was incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with which made the entire process smooth from start to finish. The house was spotless, well-stocked, and very comfortable. We especially appreciated the strong A/C during a particularly hot summer week. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
