Best Location in Old Town! Home on Mountain Ave
The house was GREAT!!!! It was very clean and spacious. The king size bed was so comfortable and we loved the pillows. The street that the house is on (Mountain) is beautiful and very quiet. We loved looking out the big windows and watching all the people walking their dogs. The house was so close to Old Town that we walked everywhere. It is even close enough to CSU to walk there too. We will definitely stay at this house again when we go back to FOCO.

NoWhere Special Homestead. Private Basement w/bath
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Adam's one-bedroom basement apartment in Ft. Collins! From the moment we arrived, Adam was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He provided clear and detailed instructions on how to access the property, and he even took the time to personally show us around, making sure we would be comfortable and answering all our questions. The apartment itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had a cozy, homey feel. The bedroom, living room, and bathroom were all very clean and well-organized. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, making it a great spot to unwind. I would highly recommend this charming property to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant stay in Ft. Collins. We would definitely stay here again!

Fort Collins cabin rentals

Charming Miner's Cabin
This is cabin living done right! We stayed for a long weekend to get away from the busyness of life and Anne’s cabin was perfect for just that. Such a cute and cozy place and the area was so quiet and peaceful. My doggies and I spent the majority of the time laying on the couch in the bay window just enjoying nature and reading books. The cabin had everything we needed for cooking meals and the wood burning stove kept us nice and warm while the snow fell outside. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs a quiet getaway in the mountains (-:

Classic Log Cabin near Rocky Mt Nat'l Park and Ski

Pinewood Lake Cabin - Deck views and cozy interior
It’s simple, just choose this home for your stay. It was comfortable from the moment we arrived. Which on this trip was of great importance for us. The house is thoughtfully put together. The kitchen was more than fully equipped. The views on the drive up were awesome including herds of deer and turkeys greeted us as we pulled in the driveway.

Cabin 1 The Black Smith Cabin
Had a great and cozy stay here for only a short night -- the cabin looks small from the outside but is actually quite spacious. It has everything you would need to enjoy a night in Livermore, plus it's right behind Rigby's, a pretty great restaurant and local hangout.

Clean & Bright Condo next to CSU & Old Town!
Tim’s place was in the perfect location for us! Even though there’s a parking space available, we decided to take a Shuttle from Denver International Airport (Tim was incredibly helpful with timing info and shuttle recommendations) and walk everywhere. The location was perfectly in the middle of CSU and Old Town. It was about 15mins walk each way and super easy We had delays with our flight and Tim was so kind and helpful. We got in late late and found the apartment easily and his instructions both in the private message and in the apartment were super easy to follow. And there’s a super cute bakery called ‘Little Bird Bakery’ around the corner about 5min walk away for a yummy coffee and goodie to start your day after a late night arrival 😜 Thank you so much Tim for the stay and look forward to coming back!

Modern Newly Built Carriage House in Prospect
We didn’t spend much time at the Carriage House, we primarily used it for sleeping because we had relatives in town. When we were at the Carriage House for a leisurely moment we were comfortable and didn’t feel restrained. We notice an interesting selection of books to read and plenty of board games. We would stay again.

Old Town West Gem Apartment
A great location (right next to the Fort Collins Pools!) that was perfect for walking to campus and downtown. We loved being able to walk to dinner, grab coffee at any of the many nearby coffee shops, and explore old town. The apartment was great for two, but the bunk beds in the living room would have been perfect for little ones if needed :)

Your guide to Fort Collins
All About Fort Collins
Located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains around 60 miles north of Denver, Fort Collins is a vibrant city known for its craft beer, bike-friendly streets, and lively state university. You’ll find all the boutique shops, restaurants, galleries, and breweries you need in Old Town, considered one of the most walkable downtowns in the country. Murals cover the brick buildings here, showcasing local artists, while live music drifts from bars, cafes, and street corners. Fort Collins sits in the shadow of Horsetooth Mountain, so named for its gap-toothed summit. This riot of rocky open space (more than 2,700 acres) includes a waterfall, reservoir, and more than enough hiking and biking trails to keep you huffing thin mountain air for weeks. In summer, the clear waters of the Cache la Poudre River, which is the state’s only Wild and Scenic River, are great for tubing, fly fishing, and whitewater rafting.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Fort Collins
With around 300 days of sunshine each year, there really is no wrong time to stay in one of the vacation rentals in Fort Collins. Summers in northern Colorado tend to be warm but pleasant, making it the perfect time to enjoy many outdoor activities like hiking, biking, or whitewater rafting. As winter rolls around, expect to see Old Town Square transformed with twinkling lights, a pop-up ice skating rink, and holiday decor along the streets and inside the windows of the shops. No matter when you make the trip, come prepared with multiple layers of clothing, especially as the temperatures start to drop during fall and winter.
Festivals and events are held all year long. In March, the Great Plates Festival celebrates local restaurants and raises money for charity. The Taste of Fort Collins is a two-day family-friendly food and music festival held in June, and FORToberfest is an October celebration with live music and local craft beer.
