Fully Renovated Old Town Cottage Close to Downtown, City Park, and University

RATES INCLUDE LODGING TAX (7%), RATES DO NOT INCLUDE SALES TAX (3.7%) This property is perfect for business executives, outdoor minded couples and small families, and guests visiting Colorado State University. It is a two bedroom, one bathroom home that is the complete package of Old Town style and New Town comfort. The property is located within walking or biking distance of Historic Downtown Fort Collins, which hosts a large variety of restaurants, breweries, and shops. It is even closer to CSU, City Park, and Beavers grocery store. City Park has a great playground, tennis courts, picnic areas, walking paths, a pond, a public pool with waterslides, outdoor fitness stations, and lots of green grass for relaxing. The property is on the right side of town for just a short car ride to Horsetooth Reservoir, where guests have access to many opportunities for hiking, mountain and road biking, rock climbing, and water sports. This home is a comfortable space for one individual or for a family of four. It is fresh and uncluttered, and it has been fully remodeled. Both bedrooms have brand new Dunlopillo mattresses and bedding for a good night's sleep. The details in the kitchen and bathroom are a perfect balance between the old and the new. The mature landscaping in the front yard welcomes you into the home, and in the backyard it makes you want to stay and hang out to enjoy the Colorado sunshine.

Came to FOCO for daughter’s graduation from CSU. The cottage was perfect. It’s charming and comfortable and quiet. It’s close to the campus and just a short walk to the Beaver Co Op market to get some essentials and Little Restaurant for Bfast-dinner, we went here a few times during our stay. I would definitely stay here again for our next visit.

We had a wonderful stay at this fully renovated Old Town cottage. The home is beautifully updated while still keeping its charm, and everything felt clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The location couldn’t be better — just minutes from downtown and ab beautiful city park, making it easy to explore the area without ever needing to drive far.The neighborhood is quiet and welcoming, and the cottage itself feels like a peaceful retreat after a day out. It’s the perfect blend of convenience and comfort, and we would happily stay here again.

Such a darling place with so much charm & character! The home was comfortable, inviting, and had everything we could possibly need.
