Designer Retreat in Old Town! Perfect for CSU parents..Walk everywhere

This elegant historic house is steps away from Old Town Fort Collins and the beautiful Colorado State University campus. Best location in town for proximity to CSU and Old Town! Old Town is a charmingly preserved downtown area that includes over 80 restaurants. The picturesque area was the inspiration behind Disneyland's "Main Street USA." Fort Collins prides itself on the plethora of restaurants and outdoor activities, a vibrant downtown and of course, our beer. Fort Collins is always full of things to do, no matter the season.

The property is meticulously maintained, fully remodeled in 2017 and is furnished with everything you need from napkins to soap to dishes and everything in between!

The house sleeps 4 in two Queen beds. There is a lovely gourmet kitchen, a washer/dryer and a front porch to watch the passer-bys and enjoy the vibrancy of Old Town. Also included is a back deck overlooking the garden for all your entertainment needs:))

There are two separate units in this historic house. There may be another guest staying in the upper unit during your stay. If so, the backyard and parking area are enjoyed by both. Also, there might be some noise transference between the floors...the charm of creaky stairs in a house built in 1903! If you are late night loud drinkers, please stay elsewhere because of the potential of another group staying above you and it could disturb others. Thanks!

The house is wonderful, with every amenity. During the week it was quiet, and on the weekends there were upstairs neighbors. The floors upstairs are noisy. But overall it was really great.

Lovely house , conveniently close to University campus

Really pleasant, well-maintained and scrupulously clean property that was very comfortable and very convenient for access to the university campus and a number of nearby restaurants. Communication with the landlord was fast, efficient and very helpful, and the nice garden out back was a plus. Landlord was also flexible regarding one of my requests and very pleasant to deal with. Overall, exceeded expectations

Great Place Great Location

My family and I were visiting for our daughter's CSU orientation in July. The house is conveniently located near campus and the center of town but still on a quiet street with quaint old houses. We walked everywhere. The house has all the amenities you need and air conditioning too! Harriet sent along a great list of places to eat and things to do which was a gem we'll keep since we'll be visiting often.

Great location close to CSU and downtown Ft Collins

Place had everything we needed. Plenty of space for 3 people. Floors are a little creaky and you notice it at first but then I really got to loving the sound as it gave this place even more character. We will certainly look to stay here again when visiting Ft Collins.

Lovely place to stay in Fort Collins

Enjoyed the stay during a quick girls weekend getaway to Fort Collins. The house is spacious with a great backyard & deck to unwind after a day/night exploring the area. Would definitely stay here again - Harriet was easy to communicate with before & during the stay. It's an older home so floors are a little loud especially with guest upstairs but overall a great location!

Charming home in ideal location

This historic home is both charming and comfortable outside and inside. The backyard space, including a large deck, was well manicured and relaxing. The inside is wonderfully refurbished with up-to-date living comforts, including kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms and living area. The kitchen area, with sitting space for 2 on the island, is well stocked with modern appliances and plenty of room for function. There is plenty of room for parking and space in both the backyard and front of house to relax outside. The location is within walking distance of a grocery store and all the shops and restaurants in Old Towne.
