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!!

Great place

The property is close to the CSU campus and shopping dining area only blocks away. The cottage is well designed to take advantage of every space. It is decorated very nicely and is well appointed. It has everything you need and then some. The space is great for 2 people but could be right for 4 however. I highly recommend this property for a stay in Ft Collins.

Comfortable cottage in great location

A great place to stay in Ft Collins near restaurants, grocery store, coffee shops, and the university. Unit is one of three on lot but it was surprisingly quiet even during graduation weekend. Downsides: no stove/oven, spiral staircase and very high tub. Loved raincoats and bikes. Will stay there again

This place was so comfy. The host has thought of the details a guest might need. Because we were visiting our daughter we didn't test the kitchen but we really enjoyed the sunny and restful space. Thanks for a great stay!

About the host

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.
