2800 sq. ft. Pet Friendly house w/ Shuffleboard
Loved our stay even though short! The home was so incredible and perfect for our fur family! The extra little treats for us and our 4 legged family was such an amazing touch! The pet beds all over the home were incredible and the dog toys were so much appreciated! Thank you for an amazing stay! The home owner even went over and beyond once we checked out! She reached out to let us know we accidentally left a few items behind and she mailed them to us! Can’t speak highly enough about the immense amount of kindness! Thank you times a million!!!

Best Location in Old Town! Home on Mountain Ave
We had a wonderful stay at Philip and Larissa’s beautiful, cozy home during the high school state basketball tournaments. The location was perfect—just a few blocks from Old Town, restaurants, and grocery stores. Our kids especially enjoyed the toys, mini-golf, and DVD selection. The house was a great size for our family of six, and we truly appreciated being able to bring our pet. We would love to stay here again! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us

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.

Fort Collins cabin rentals

Charming Log Cabin!
The cabin was great! Super cute and quiet location. The roads getting to the cabin are narrow and curvy, but once you do it a couple of times it’s no problem! I would recommend for those that are looking for a remote get away that’s only 30 minutes from Estes Park.

Retro Piney Retreat
A great stay for a quick getaway to the mountains. Chris was responsive and attentive, and the cabin was cozy.

Epic HUGE Home near Estes Park and RMNP
What a WONDERFUL home for our family's vacation in Colorado! So spacious, with a large kitchen where we could gather, yet everyone had their own space to which they could retreat if desired. The view of the night sky from the upper deck was spectacular! Hiking along the river, or scrambling on the rocks, there was much to entertain the younger folks. We saw tons of wildlife, including Joe, the resident bighorn sheep. We had a fantastic time at The Roost, and Casey was a generous and gracious host. Definitely, from the moment we arrived, a five-star experience!

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.

River Front Hot Tub Fire Pit Mountain Views & RMNP
So booked 2 night stay, it was perfect. Owners left clear instructions which i like and the stream out front followed owners instructions on where to go and got to sit and watch the trout.

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.
