NoWhere Special Homestead. Private Basement w/bath

GeorgeRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Adam's one-bedroom basement apartment in Ft. Collins! From the moment we arrived, Adam was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He provided clear and detailed instructions on how to access the property, and he even took the time to personally show us around, making sure we would be comfortable and answering all our questions. The apartment itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had a cozy, homey feel. The bedroom, living room, and bathroom were all very clean and well-organized. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, making it a great spot to unwind. I would highly recommend this charming property to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant stay in Ft. Collins. We would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable home close to CSU and Horsetooth!

VickyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This home was perfect as a last minute rental for our family of 4 adults. So much better than a couple hotel rooms! Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen well supplied with all we needed. It was an excellent value! It is worth noting that unlike many of the reviewers,we had no pets with us, yet still chose this place based on location, price, and recommendations of others. It is homey and comfortable and highly recommended!

Family friendly Old Town Bungalow

GinaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We stayed for a short visit with my son who lives nearby. It is very close to the college and downtown area as well as shopping. Although it was nicely laid out, I do wish there was a TV upstairs rather than having to go downstairs to watch anything. Also, the laundry machines are due for a change out....the dryer burned some spots on a couple items. Overall, the place was warm and cozy for our stay.

Private guest house in Old Town

CrystaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
It was a pleasure staying at Mike and Leslie's place! I was in town for a wedding, which happened to be during a big CSU football rivalry game and this spot was the perfect distance away from the crazy college bars while still being easily walkable to get wherever you needed to go! The neighborhood is nice and quiet and the house was cozy - I had everything I needed for my stay. Mike and Leslie were very proactive with communications and there was a nice binder with maps and instructions. Everything was clean and tidy and it was a perfect little spot for my short trip to Ft. Collins!

Cozy Old Town Studio

KurtRating, 5 stars3 days ago
This cozy studio worked really well for my wife and me. Darren was very good with communication and quick to respond and friendly. We felt comfortable here, safe, and the location was ideal for us since we have family only blocks away. The studio is small but amazingly well designed. Darren and Sara had provided numerous little extra items in the kitchen and bathroom, which demonstrated their care for out enjoying our stay. We are thankful for having had this charming studio to stay in while visiting family in Fort Collins.

Your guide to Fort Collins

All About Fort Collins

Located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains around 60 miles north of Denver, Fort Collins is a vibrant city known for its craft beer, bike-friendly streets, and lively state university. You’ll find all the boutique shops, restaurants, galleries, and breweries you need in Old Town, considered one of the most walkable downtowns in the country. Murals cover the brick buildings here, showcasing local artists, while live music drifts from bars, cafes, and street corners. Fort Collins sits in the shadow of Horsetooth Mountain, so named for its gap-toothed summit. This riot of rocky open space (more than 2,700 acres) includes a waterfall, reservoir, and more than enough hiking and biking trails to keep you huffing thin mountain air for weeks. In summer, the clear waters of the Cache la Poudre River, which is the state’s only Wild and Scenic River, are great for tubing, fly fishing, and whitewater rafting.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Fort Collins

With around 300 days of sunshine each year, there really is no wrong time to stay in one of the vacation rentals in Fort Collins. Summers in northern Colorado tend to be warm but pleasant, making it the perfect time to enjoy many outdoor activities like hiking, biking, or whitewater rafting. As winter rolls around, expect to see Old Town Square transformed with twinkling lights, a pop-up ice skating rink, and holiday decor along the streets and inside the windows of the shops. No matter when you make the trip, come prepared with multiple layers of clothing, especially as the temperatures start to drop during fall and winter.

Festivals and events are held all year long. In March, the Great Plates Festival celebrates local restaurants and raises money for charity. The Taste of Fort Collins is a two-day family-friendly food and music festival held in June, and FORToberfest is an October celebration with live music and local craft beer.

Fort Collins Museum of Discovery

The Fort Collins Museum of Discovery showcases a unique collection of interactive displays, including musical instruments, a fossil wall, and an opportunity to build your own model spacecraft.

Lory State Park

Located on the western side of Horsetooth Reservoir about 20 minutes’ drive from Fort Collins, Lory State Park is known for its extensive network — around 26 miles — of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails.
