We have stayed at many, many VRBOs and this one has to be the best-managed property yet. Thoughtful nightlights, good parking, perfect communications, ultra-clear instructions. Loved it. Also loved the cushy towels and sleep noise machines for each bedroom.

Wonderful Home away from home for our stay in Fort Collins. The house is just as shown in the listing. Very clean and well appointed, it had every amenity needed for our stay. The kitchen was well outfitted, there was a little basket of treats and coffee supplies. The mattresses were very comfortable and linens were great. Fantastic having laundry on site. everything is in great condition and well maintained. The location was terrific, easy access to old town and CSU. Shannon is pleasant and quick to coomunicate, she checked in during our stay to make sure all was well and we had all we needed. Great binder with info on house and amenities. Highly recommended, would not hesitate to stay there again. Thank you Shannon for making our group feel right at home!

Just what we were looking for
The word lovely keeps coming to mind. I just loved it. It has so much charm and is very comfortable to stay. It is an old home with lots of character, while still having lots of closet space and room to stretch out. It is so nicely decorated and the furniture is comfy. It will be our go-to place when visiting Fort Collins.The hosts were great!

First time booker, user for an out of state visit with daughter at school.
What a truly wonderful experience for the first time using/booking/staying using Vrbo! Traveled from Pa to visit a few days with daughter at Colorado State. The ease of viewing & booking our rental with Vrbo was top notch! The home was adequately reprented online, was extremely clean and our host, Shannon, was in constant communication via email with me during our entire stay, in case there was anything needed. Check in/out instructions were provided 24 hrs prior to arrival/departure. Rates were extremely comparable & staying in a rented home vs a hotel was a much more enjoyable experience overall! All appliances in working order & host installed new AC unit due to excessive heat in the area prior to our stay. Hubby & I couldnt have asked for a more positive experience and we will definitely be back! Thanks again!!!

A perfect, cozy and welcoming place
We were so pleased with our four nights in this century-old home. Such a great location and a quiet, restful setting. Much attention to thoughtful details made it so easy to immediately feel at home. The bed was very comfortable, the towels thick, the kitchen carefully stocked, great coffee provided for the coffee maker, and some snacks provided. The dark makeup wash cloths, extra blankets and abundance of windows were additional features. We will welcome a return visit for sure. Parking was so easy and convenient.
