Clean, Cozy, Comfy, Great Location, Pets Welcome, Well Equipped Kitchen.
The WestSide Cottage (Larimer Co. STR Lic #21-ZONE3177) has a lovely, rural feeling situated on a couple acres surrounded by old trees and small horse properties, yet just a short walk to City Park 9 Golf Course, Sheldon Lake and the City Park pool. Close to Old Town, breweries, The Discovery Center and the new CSU Canvas stadium, the Poudre Canyon. The Cottage is a quaint and cozy 3 bedroom farmhouse.
Enjoy our spacious and relaxing patio! There's lots of seating to enjoy an evening under the stars with the fire pit, and string lights. The large gas grill will help you attain grill master status. Dine al fresco, at the patio table or enjoy your morning coffee in the sunshade, while stretching out on the chaise lounge. We continue to work on out backyard space incorporating unique yard art, special planting areas and interesting vignettes.
The kitchen is well equipped for hosting a family dinner or friends for the game. You can eat in every night every night if you like with plenty of room to cook up family favorites or try new recipes together. We've had many families enjoy a Thanksgiving feast and Christmas dinner right here at The Cottage.
The coffee bar features flavored syrups, regular and decaf coffees, 10 kinds of tea and cocoa and natural Stevie sweeteners. Wake up and brew up some morning joe. We offer premium coffees, or relax on the living room chaise with a soothing cup of herbal tea.
The dining table expands to host 10, the patio seats 8 for meals and you can take your coffee on the covered front porch while keeping your pup plays in the large fenced yard so you'll have plenty of space to accommodate.
Frozen beer glasses await your arrival and coffee for the morning too.
Lots more outdoor space awaits you on our large front porch. The front yard is fenced offering a great space for your dog to play and get exercise.
Our beds get RAVE reviews. They are the comfiest. Our bedding is all cotton, all the time. We simply won't compromise. Not only do we believe cotton is the most comfortable, it cleans up the best, and without doubt, it helps us keep plastic out of our oceans.
You will check yourself in with the digital keypad on the back door adjoining the parking area. We are close by and available should you need a thing, otherwise, you probably won't see us.
We happily accept PET GUESTS. The cost is $75. per pet, per stay.
Our neighborhood is has a rural feel but you are still just a few blocks from City Park, the golf course, Sheldon Lake, the City Park Community pool, King Sooper's grocery, Campus West area full of cafes, shops and entertainment.
Fort Collins is a bike and pedestrian friendly city. Nearly every street has bike lanes. The Max Transit serves the city (N-S through town) as well as Transfort bus lines offering lots of public transportation. Uber and Lyft operators also abound.
Each bedroom features a queen size pillow top mattress dressed in premium 100% cotton bedding and plenty of pillows. Our guests the beds super comfortable. We offer a variety of pillows from cloud soft down to extra firm memory foam. A pillow for every head. You're sure to find one you love.
All the amenities of home...iron and ironing board, hair drier, shower gel and shampoo, coffee and tea starters, laundry soap, paper products, trash bags, doggie bags, laptop table in the living room.
Fort Collins is located in beautiful northern Colorado at the mouth of the Wild and Scenic Poudre Canyon as well as access to Colorado Hwy 34 to Rocky Mountain National Park. If you haven't rambled the Wild and Scenic Poudre Canyon (national designation), you are missing some of the most beautiful country in the state.
Northern Colorado has abundant hiking, biking, fishing, rafting, kayaking, camping and scenery. Spring Creek, Trail, Cathy Fromme Natural Space, Poudre River Trail, BobCat Ridge Open Space, Devil's Backbone Nature Trail, Horsetooth Mountain Recreation Area and Reservoir, just above Fort Collins offers all varieties of water sports.
Fort Collins brews 70% of the state's micro brew beer including nationally renown New Belgium and O'Dell. Additionally, we have several spirit distillers such as Copper Muse and Spring 44 in the area.
We say the WestSide Cottage is "kinda country, right in town" so you may see wildlife on property...deer, fox, raccoon, bobcat, rabbit. Enjoy!
PLEASE, if you require central air conditioning, do not book our property. We have a free-standing unit in the living room and large fans in every room. This keeps the house pretty cool however, this is not the same as central AC and you will not be able to turn it down to 62 degrees. Since it gets very cool at night here in Colorado, windows are often opened at night even with central AC. We realize our situation does not meet everyone's needs however and want to be very clear about the situation. We would rather miss your booking than have unhappy guests.

Cozy cottage - with a relaxing, down to earth vibe. Fully equipped kitchen and good-sized bedrooms. We liked the front porch too! If you want to get out of the Ft. Collins traffic, this place is only minutes from downtown.
Second time staying in this nice home. We enjoyed our stay. Kitchen was great. Beds were very comfortable. Nice living room space. Host - great communication with us.
We had a great time staying here. The location is quiet and perfect for getting to downtown or the foothills and hiking. Julia was a very communicative and checked in on us to see if we needed anything. The house is nice, with comfortable beds and a big yard in the front(fenced), and a very nice patio area in the back. We would definitely stay here again.
This was a great place to stay for planning my brother's wedding rehearsal. All of us had a great time at this location and was close to other activities we had planned. The property manager was also great.
This property reminds me of a vacation home on a lake. It's rustic, with a relaxing ambiance, its clean, the beds are extremely comfortable, the kitchen is stocked with everything you need and the location is close to the foothills for hiking and biking. And the fenced yard is perfect for your pets. Overall, I highly recommend!
Everything was as advertised! House was clean and well maintained. Close to town while being able to feel like you're far away. I will definitely be staying there again!
Great place on the edge of town. Fenced yard for the pups was awesome. Convenient location, close to everything. The house was adorable, clean and comfy. We had a great trip and appreciated such a hassle free place to stay with the pugs. Thanks Julia!

Julia was an amazing host. Excellent communication, and every possible need or question was thought of and answered. She is friendly and organized. Her attention to detail really makes this a special property, and an easy place to stay. The cabin was absolutely as described and we had a very comfortable stay. It was great to be able to bring our dog along and she enjoyed the outdoor space. We loved the location on the quiet west end of town. Close to hiking at Horsetooth, and a quick drive to delicious food and fun in Old Town.
This cottage is decorated with fun colors and upscaled items. We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and thoughtful touches. This place is for people who enjoy comfortable more than sleek and fancy. We all slept well. The bathroom is tiny, which might be hard for a large person but was fine with us.
Everything we needed for our week stay. A fenced yard for the pups, ample bedroom and storage space, a large table in the kitchen for working, and a perfect location. We had the RMNP about 1 hour to Estes, mtn bike trails around a mile away, road bike paths really close, and Old Town just a few miles away. Near an intersection that makes it easy to get to Horsetooth, Old Town, Laporte, etc. seemed to be a quiet area. Just a relaxing space. I’d stay again for sure.
Trip was great and the house was comfortable for my brother and I who were in town for a football game. It’s an old home that has lots of character and privacy, I wouldn’t recommend this place with kids as it would be noisy and cramped. For couples and adults, it was a great spot. Just a few miles from City Center with a country feel, no complaints and the internet and smart TV gave us no issues. I would stay here again!
This trip was planned with my cousin, 2 nieces, and my elderly pup. Julia welcomed us to her property, including the dog, and was quick to address any questions. We loved the cottage and the location! The fully stocked kitchen meant we could prepare some meals. The firepit and patio were enjoyable for evening wind down. It was great to have full laundry as well. I would recommend this property to other groups of women planning a trip. Keep in mind there is only one bathroom, so couples groups might not fit as well.
The house was cute and very clean. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was great. It was nice to have a washer and dryer too.
The fenced in yard was great for the dogs and the patio looked inviting. We couldn't use the outdoor space because of the high wind storm that was going on! The owner was very accommodating and helpful, esp. when the power went off. (a company powered it off due to wind). A cozy place!
We had everything we needed to cook Thanksgiving dinner except the pan on which the turkey was cooked. We expected that and brought one. The home was cozy and warm. It's old and squeaky, which didn't bother us and even gave it some character. There was a very nice fenced-in space outside for our little dog. The home was very clean. The price was right and conveniently located.I e-mailed the host a few times and she always answered promptly.
My husband and I stayed with our 1 year old lab. Our daughter, who is in Grad school was able to come and visit with a friend. Great place to sit around the fire pit and play music together. The second night it rained and we gathered in the living room. It was wonderful to have a fenced in yard for the dog and to be able to play together! The home is old, but has charm. It is very clean and nicely presented! Everything you could possibly need was available in the kitchen and bathroom. We would come back for sure!
This property is several miles from Old Town/CSU and en route to Horsetooth Reservoir. It is an older house. Outside landscaping was overgrown and the surrounding property is a VW bus graveyard. But do not let that dissuade you from staying. The inside was clean, kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable, portable AC cooled most of the house, and nice touches for guests were evident such as coffee syrups, extra toothbrush, and ample paper products. The best feature was the patio, with a nice grill, that allowed a fun gathering of friends and family. If you need space, enjoy the outdoors, and do not want to be in the hustle and bustle of FoCo, I would consider this property. The property manager is super responsive and will address any of your questions or concerns.

Bit run down, not "sparkling clean"
The manager of this property was great and communicated quickly and clearly. The bedrooms and bathroom are very cute. The kitchen is well-appointed for cooking. The house has real potential and I liked all the little decorative touches. Unfortunately the house was not clean and we were, overall disappointed by this rental. The rental smelled like a campfire due to the AC pulling air in through the fireplace which needed to be cleaned. The baseboards were dirty and the corners had cobwebs. There was a line of urine/toilet splash on the outer, cloth shower curtain when we arrived. The couch was basically thin cloth over springs and the white bed squeaked so much it was not useable. The kitchen table had a twin bed sheet as a table cloth and was so beat up it could not be used without the sheet. The fenced yard was very nice and a great place to eat breakfast while looking at the foothills, but there is a yard of abandoned cars behind this place, which distracts from the property. I wish we could post photos because I have them. I would not stay here again. It got the job done, but is far less nice than the other Fort Collins VRBOs that I have stayed in.
The house was cute and charming. The kitchen was well appointed with pretty much appliance or cooking gadget you could ask for. The cold glasses in the freezer were a nice touch. The living room was a comfortable space to hang out. There was a nice selection of puzzles and games available (which we added to when we left). The beds and pillows were the perfect amount of squishy and supportive.
That said, it appears I didn't read the listing closely enough when we booked the property. We stayed in Fort Collins during a heat wave and were looking forward to the advertised AC to keep us comfortable. There was a portable AC unit in the living room but the exhaust tube had tears in it so it just pumped hot air into the room. We turned it off the night we checked in. Thankfully there were a bunch of fans, but they only did so much. I don't know that it's fair to say that the property has AC when it 1) didn't work and 2) isn't central air. It might be worth moving that tidbit up a bit in the listing going forward.
While our stay could have been a little more comfortable temperature-wise, the house was exactly what we needed while we were in town for a wedding. My friends and I had a lovely time in Fort Collins, and a huge thank you to Julia for being such a kind hostess during our trip.
