Wonderful Stay in Cute Cottage

We had a wonderful trip in Fort Collins and really enjoyed having our own space & backyard sanctuary! Our only issue was finding the place from the back alley, but that was quickly resolved. We would definitely stay here again!!

We had a fantastic stay and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Donna was incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with which made the entire process smooth from start to finish. The house was spotless, well-stocked, and very comfortable. We especially appreciated the strong A/C during a particularly hot summer week. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Nice cottage in a quiet neighborhood

We had a nice stay here with our 2 springer spaniels while we attended a family wedding in Ft. Collins. The cottage is clean and comfortable; the yard was perfect for the pups! We are happy to have found this little place!

Amazing stay near CSU

We had an amazing time at this property. The Casita was just stunning and had great amenities. The hosts were lovely and responsive. It was a busy weekend at CSU because it was family weekend, but we were very close to the campus And we appreciate it, the privacy and the bikes at the rental. Thanks for a great time

Sweet spot in town

Communication with Donna was so easy. She was very responsive and always in a timely manner. The house was clean, private, and had everything we needed for our 5 night stay. The location was perfect for all of the things we wanted to do in Ft. Collins. We loved the record player and tea selection at the house. Cooking together while listening to music on the record player was a sweet and unexpected bonus. We definitely give this spot a great recommendation when traveling to FOCO.

Great dog friendly casita

We were in town to take our dog to CSU veterinary hospital and this location was perfect and close to the veterinary hospital. Clean, well stocked, fenced yard, homey feel, very dog friendly, and a responsive owner. Two blocks from a park; great brewery nearby that allows dogs in the brewery (Maxline). We would not hesitate to stay here again.
