About this property
Hillside at Horsetooth | Lake & Trail Access
Vaulted ceilings, mountain views, and a peek-through fireplace set the tone in this modern rustic retreat. Two separate living areas create space to gather or spread out, while updated finishes keep the home feeling fresh and comfortable. Step onto the wrap-around deck for morning coffee or sunset dinners, and retreat to the primary king suite when the day winds down. Tucked into the foothills, it feels like a true mountain escape — quiet, scenic, and effortlessly relaxing.
With Horsetooth Reservoir just a 2-minute drive away, lake days and trail time are always within easy reach. Rent a boat at the marina, take the paddleboards out for a spin, or explore the surrounding hiking and biking trails. Then wind down with a patio drink at Horsetooth Tavern!

PAST GUEST REVIEWS “This house is stunning and the property it sits on, even more beautiful! This place is set back in the foothills, walking distance away from a lake. It couldn't be more beautiful! Loved everything about it! Would highly recommend!” -Calynda, October 2025
“Beautiful home in a peaceful setting. Close to hiking trails and the shops and restaurants of downtown Fort Collins. House was comfortable, clean and well equipped. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you!” -Nicole, December 2024
“We had an awesome stay! It was so nice to be close enough to Fort Collins for all the restaurants and things to do, as well as feel very private. The house was great for us, two adult couples and two kids. The trees surrounding the deck right now are in full bloom and it was so nice to drink my coffee and read there. We want to come back in the summer to enjoy the reservoir more!” -Rachel, April 2024
