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.

Charming!
We loved our stay in this sweet cottage. It’s set back off the road, and has a lovely, private fenced backyard. Artful decor with some thoughtful holiday additions. Super comfy beds and very clean. We’d definitely choose to stay here again.

Charming Hobbit Cottage
Shields Cottage is a perfect selection for a relaxing stay in Fort Collins. The host has provided everything needed for an enjoyable visit: lovely furnishings; comfortable beds; and fully-equipped kitchen. It is conveniently located in town, yet the landscaping gives a feeling of seclusion. A variety of flowers blooming in both the front and back yards are a special treat. We enjoyed every moment at this charming hobbit cottage and only wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend!

Property Properly Perfect
The cottage was lovely. Our CSU kiddo was able to spend time with us at ‘our place’ vs their apt. Great location as a base for our FOCO exploration. Our hosts thought of everything; well appointed kitchen, comfy beds, warm and inviting living room. We enjoyed the firepit at night. And the place was even more beautiful with the Thanksgiving snow. Highly recommend.

Adorable little house
Blocks from Colorado State University and minutes from Oldtown. Very clean home with a full kitchen and anything you may need. Weather did not allow us to use the backyard but had a fire pit and gas grill. I would stay here again!

Fort Collins Gem
This is a very cute house that was comfortable, homey and well supplied with every essential item that we needed. We really enjoyed the location within the Fort Collins area and the neighborhood itself. The street was blocked off for construction so the quietness may have been due to that, but it was very quiet and peaceful. The only thing that was not pleasant and is not the fault of the owner, is the neighbor next door who smokes weed all day long. It was present on the front porch, back deck and the smell would also get into the house when the doors opened. While we totally hate that smell, and it was pretty regular, we would probably stay here again as it really is a charmer.

Comfortable and delightful
We enjoyed a long stay at this cozy cottage. It was comfortable with a delightful back yard for enjoying the Colorado fall weather. Although the bedrooms are small, the beds are very comfortable. The living room and kitchen are spacious and fully functional. The location is great - about a one mile walk from Old Town. In spite of being on a busy road, it is set back from the street and very quiet. We definitely hope to stay here again.

Such a darling place with so much charm & character! The home was comfortable, inviting, and had everything we could possibly need. The property manager was quick to respond to messages, gave helpful hints on where to dine in the area, & made sure our stay was enjoyable.

So cute and comfortable!
Enjoyed the outdoors as much as the indoors. The house is well appointed and just the right size for the two of us. The back yard and front yard were of about equal size. Enjoyed reading on the front porch! The long driveway makes the address on a busy street feel really safe.The house is also well located to all the fun restaurants, shopping, and outdoor activities that Fort Collins has to offer.

My husband and I stayed while our furry family member had surgery at CSU. The cottage was adorable and very comfortable and had everything we could need. The front yard was perfect for our little dog as it is set back from the road! Amy was a wonderful and receptive host!

This was the perfect little place for our family to call home base. We loved the location and it allowed us to venture to RMNP, Estes Park, and all over Fort Collins! The backyard was an oasis for our pups! The host even let out pups out and dropped off a cookie for my kids one afternoon! Definitely recommend this sweet spot in Fort Collins!

The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The property accommodated every need, including a peaceful and beautiful back yard. The beads were so comfortable! The location was perfect, we walked less than a mile for breakfast in old town. We will definitely stay here again the next time we’re in Ft. Collins!

Perfect Stay
Perfect accommodation for two of us to visit family in FoCo. Kitchen had all we needed. Having coffee and filters available was a nice touch. Also, the pillows were the best I have had anywhere, including hotels. Nice neighborhood. Easy to locate the house.
