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.

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!

We had a great stay at the cottage. It had everything we needed and was the perfect location for our daughter’s CSU move in. It was so cozy and nice to come back to after long hot days of carrying, building, walking, and stressing! Thank you so much for giving us a place to wind down, we hope to stay again while visiting our new Ram!!

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

Living most of our lives in Europe and the Middle East, we spent a year in Fort Collins in 2005 and fell in love with the community. Being close to Colorado State University in Old Town was our goal. We built this cottage in 2007 so that whenever we are in the US we would have a place that felt like home. We added landscaping and patios because we love being outside. We hand-carried ceramic tile from the Middle East to add a familiar touch to the kitchen and bathroom. Having hosted and been hosted by people all over the world, we place a premium on hospitality and have tried to ensure that this place has everything needed to enjoy your stay in Fort Collins.
