One of the best vrbo’s I’ve ever stayed at! The house is so comfortable and well decorated. It provides so many places to lounge inside and outside. And we loved the lake view and access to the water. We will be coming back next year :-)

We had a wonderful stay. This house is just as described-so cozy with a ton of cute details. It has everything you need. Our family of six stayed comfortably for a full week and everyone was able to have their own space. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. The living room area has a comfortable couch for relaxing with a book, watching movies or playing games, and we took full advantage of the outdoor seating areas and hot tub! The view of the reservoir is truly beautiful and we loved seeing deer, rabbits, and hummingbirds! The house has ample supply of gear for enjoying the water (beach towels, life jackets, SUPs, kayak, lawn chairs, etc.). You can have a great time just staying in this cove and not leave! During our stay we rented a pontoon from the marina, enjoyed a meal at Horsetooth Tavern, and utilized the nearby small general store. There are also a ton of options for fun things nearby! We spent a day at Estes Park/RMNP, hit the trails ant Horsetooth Mountain, and enjoyed some shopping/restaurants in Fort Collins (which has a killer vintage /secondhand store selection, by the way). Linda is a wonderful host and was very responsive to any questions we had. Overall, this is probably one of the best VRBO properties we've rented and we hope to come back again!

Beautiful rental in paradise

The home was more beautiful than the pictures and everything we needed for our group of 7, with plenty of room. Perfect location for going to Estes Park, Colorado Springs, hiking, swimming, fishing, and sight seeing. Communication with our hosts was easy and they helped with ideas and tips. Wonderful and friendly, thank you for a memorable vacation for our family!

My husband, daughter and I loved staying at Linda's beautiful home while visiting our son during CSU's parent weekend. Plenty of space, with everything you need! We loved the hot tub, perfect to relax in while enjoying the fire pit as well. The location is perfect, with amazing views all-around. We can't wait to visit and stay at Linda's again:)!

Veterinary graduation

This house and host Linda were both amazing. Linda was super helpful with our stay as we are from NJ and don’t know the area well. It was a perfect house to spend time with family and friends. We went for our daughter’s graduation from veterinary school and it ended up being a perfect location for us to spend quality time together. I would book again!

Perfect location for a few days away!

My husband, our 3, 5, and 7 year olds, and my parents stayed here for a few days and it was great! The house is right across the street from a little cove in Horsetooth Lake and next door to an entry to the trails - perfect location! The host was super responsive, both before and during our trip, and the house was exactly as described. It came with everything we needed and was super clean. We really love the Ft Collins area and if we ever find our way out here again we will absolutely look to stay here. Great house!
