Quick access to state parks & bike trails. Giant backyard, pet-friendly!

Outdoor enthusiasts' dream location with a huge backyard and quick access to restaurants, breweries, shopping, and more! Recently remodeled, you will love feeling like you're at the summer cottage but with more modern upgrades. Several state parks are within a fifteen-minute drive and Rocky Mountain National Park is one hour away. Start your day with an adventure by hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, white water rafting, fly fishing, mountain climbing, or biking, and decompress by stargazing at the backyard firepit. Easily hop on the Poudre Trail and ride all the way to Old Town Fort Collins and beyond or walk down the trail to the local restaurant. Enjoy the sprawling backyard with beautiful foothill views and plenty of space for your dog to run around while you cook out on the grill. The inside is cozy and features an open floor plan perfect for family meals, board game nights, or sprawling out on the living room floor for a movie. Expect to see plenty of wildlife including birds, small critters, deer, and bears! Excellent location for a staycation or an everyday adventure base camp. Plenty of parking in the driveway, marijuana is legal in Colorado and allowed on the property. Absolutely no cigarettes at any time. We do not have central AC, however, you will find an evaporative cooler, window unit, and whole-house fan will keep the house cool on hot summer nights.

We've stayed here several times. We love the area and the convenience of this VRBO. It's works well for our dog and is convenient for biking into old town or driving up the canyon for a day hike. We will likely stay again!

The property was very welcoming to pets and it is why I chose the property. We had a medical emergency with our dog and Colleen got right back to me with a veterinarian clinic! I so appreciated the help! All wood floors which makes the property feel cleaner when allowing pets.We would stay here again! Also the neighborhood was extremely quiet! There were 7 turkeys just strolling down the street. We were looking for a place in LaPorte. Not too far to town either. Great location to go up to Lory State park!

Stayed for my wedding nearby. Host was very thoughtful to come and congratulate us promptly after arriving. Property is as described but lacks cleanliness. Floors were dirty, sheets were dirty upon arriving, bugs everywhere in the kitchen/bedroom/bathroom. Wasn’t very well stocked with essentials like paper towels or toilet paper. We had to buy the property more trash bags due to not being able to find any where host had suggested they were. Overall was an okay property and was perfect for the occasion, just wish it was more clean and stocked.

Really useful location for us, around the corner from family we were visiting and in proximity to lots of places we wanted to get to, including trips to Water World, Holiday Twin drive-in, Lory state park (to climb Arthur's Rock), and downtown Fort Collins (on the trolley car from the park!). Great communication from the hosts - we had a brilliant stay, thank you!

I enjoyed my stay at Laporte, CO. The house was very clean and cozy. It was located in a very peaceful, quiet & nice neighborhood. I enjoyed seeing the deer & wild turkeys at night and early morning. Conveniently located to great restaurants and other shopping facilities. Host was great and very helpful with all questions and recommendations.

Great yard/dog friendly!

We had a great stay. Dogs loved the large fenced back yard. It had comfortable outdoor seating. A nice fire pit area but it was too warm for us to have a fire. Patio was nice and relaxing to sit in the am. Easy access to walks/hikes, Fort Collins downtown.

Checking out CSU

It was very convenient to check out CSU with my daughter. The area was great nice and quiet. The house seemed to be getting upgrades (done by the owners themselves I’m assuming) but that really doesn’t bother us at all. If we needed to I would absolutely stay there again.

Sweet & Sunny Laporte

We came from Alaska to escape the usual September rain and found 30 days of sun, sun and more sun in the Lapore/Fort Collins area. The house is exactly as advertised, a great place to land with everything you need in an awesome location. There are parks, paths, hikes, activities, restaurants, all within minutes of this location. Colleen was always available to provide recommendations and information. We had the best time and the dog loved the neighborhood with its posse of roaming turkeys and deer. We will definitely return!
