Beautiful Weekend!

What a perfect spot. So close to Old Town Fort Collins. Walking distance to coffee and breakfast spot. The unit was very clean and so bright for a lower unit. It was very spacious and had a nice desk for my husbands work. The kitchen was very spacious but we mostly ate out! The back yard had a large open area with chairs and hammocks. I hope to stay here again when I visit Fort Collins.

Clean and great location

We enjoyed our stay in the bungalow. The location is perfect for walking to and around Old Town Fort Collins. It is right across the street from the University. The bungalow IS a basement apartment, which I was not aware of. However, everything inside was renovated and clean and exactly what we needed. The outdoor area is nice and peaceful.

CSU Move In

This was the perfect location for moving my daughter in to school at CSU - literally across the street. Close to Old Town, restaurants, shops, and fun. Clean, cute, and plenty of space for us. Host was communicative and helpful. Only down-side was kitchen did not have a full-size fridge, but suspect that might have been a temporary fix. Would stay again.

Excellent location

What a great location for our stay in Ft Collins. We were close to Old Town and enjoyed being near CSU (while it was in summer quiet mode)! We had everything we needed and were very happy there for our stay. Note that there is not a full size frig in the kitchen (two small ones) and one bathroom is really small. Also, no AC in the lower level unit but thankfully the fans were all we needed.

This was our second time staying at this property and we enjoyed it equally to last time. To us the distance to our daughter and downtown was important as well it being a pet friendly property. It was clean and Stacy was very easy to communicate with. It is the perfect location if you want or need to be close to campus.

Across the street from campus

We were there for campus tours so the location was great. The one bathroom was pretty small but was manageable. No thermostat control in basement and it got quite humid. Do have big fans, but bigger ones would have been nice since the temps were in the 90s during our stay. Would stay here again, but maybe upstairs 😁

CSU tour trip

The place was fantastic and we could not have asked for a better location. We were in town for spring break and to tour CSU. There was plenty of room for the 5 of us. The only negatives at all were the washer/dryer that would not dry our clothes and the beds were a little stiff by day 5. Other than that we loved it and would book again.

Roadtrip

Nice Appartement if you are away during the day. It is in the Basement and a little dark. Very nice fireplace in the back of the house. Better dont come with a big rental car because the driveway is very small. We had an ford Expedition and it was every time a challenge to drive in. But all together we liked the place.

Perfect Location

This is our 2nd time staying at this property. If you have students at CSU you can’t beat the location. We come with friends every year to enjoy parents weekend. Not having to drive or find parking for all the festivities is the best. The only thing I would recommend is that both bathrooms have a blow dryer and the property needs a deep cleaning windows, under the beds and behind furniture. There was a lot of dirt and spider webs. Other than that it has everything you need to enjoy your stay.

Walking distance from CSU

It was a great trip with my son and his colleague. They loved jumping on the cruiser bikes and be able to ride on campus and around town. We made breakfast every morning after we shopped at the lucky market that was close by…Mayb some new cooking pan would be great. Communication with property manager was great. Text respond was within timely manner. Would definitely come back for the connivence.

Weekend visit with my CSU kiddo

Came out for a visit. The location was great, walking distance to her dorm. The house was just what we needed for a fun visit. Plenty of space for us to spread out, relax and play a few games. The kitchen is well stocked, although a cookie sheet would have been nice. We picked up a focaccia at the farmers market, but there wasn't a cookie sheet to cook it on. We made due with aluminum foil and it worked out ok. The table in the kitchen was great for games. The beds were amazingly comfortable. We would definitely like to stay again when we come back out for a visit.

Great location but uncomfortable stay

I was hesitant to leave my review because I know the owners put a lot of heart into their homes; however, I know how much I depend on honest reviews, so I decided to do just that. Pros: Great location! Directly across campus, walking distance to food, cute area. Communication w/manager was very quick & friendly. I can tell a lot of thought and care was put into decorating and providing an inviting atmosphere. Cons: Way too small for a family of 5 +pet. Literally tripped over each other a few times. Best suited for 2-3 people. Floors were really gross. Our feet were black from walking barefoot in the house as if the floors hadn't been mopped in ages. Additionally, it's the basement of a house so the thermostat is located on the main level (separate rental). When I inquired about it she asked if we wanted to send someone over to change the temperature. At the time it was fine I didn't want to bother, but the second night we woke around 1am and it was so hot and uncomfortable but by that time I wasn't going to text to ask someone to come change the temp and I think another family was upstairs which would have been a horrible inconvenience for them! Or what if they want a diff temp than you? Pics are misleading. I assumed (my mistake) the BY was completely fenced in; however, what you don't see in the pics is there is a parking lot back there. Only mini fridges - can't fit frozen pizza or any substantial amount of food. Uncomfortable couch. Kitchen amenities/tools very limited.
