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 eveningunder 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.

    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.

    I really like this property because it was not right in the middle of town, but not far from it either. It was a short drive to the Poudre Scenic Byway. The house was spacious enough and the fenced yard was a plus. The check in was super easy which is really important to us. We would book here again if we were in the area.

    Well equipped home with charm. Location was good with everything needed close by. Last of A/C was not an issue. It was in the 90's every day and yet the house was cool with the fans during the day and at night, we did not need the fans. Will definitely be back next time we are in Fort Collins.

    As described. Older home but for us it was all about the outdoors and we really enjoyed the front and back yards. Beds were comfy. Located on a rather busy street but didn't mind as view of mountain range and sunset spectacular from front porch, and Julia was awesome to work with going out of her way to accommodate and communicate with us. Highly recommend, would stay again when in FOCO :)

    Great location! Fully stocked kitchen, great bathroom space to be able to put away toiletries. Plenty of space to have friends/family over including a huge kitchen table to sit at and play games. House stayed cool with the help of the portable air conditioners while it was 100 degrees outside. Backyard patio was a great place to relax after a day of exploring, the sunshade was appreciated. Loved also sitting on the front porch to watch the sunset. Julia is a great host and made sure we had everything we needed and more. Definitely a nice place to stay if you are staying in Fort Collins.

    Solid place. Excellent job running a few ACs that kept the place in the lower 70s during the day and down into the mid 60s if desired at night….on some upper 90s scorchers. Clean. Kitchen fully stocked with everything needed to cook. Perfect location for Horsetooth and all the good riding North/West/South of town. Nice little backyard patio are with a grill to hang out on, and enough space indoors to feel like you spread out, relax and hangout even with a group of 6-10. Host was prompt with texting. Everything worked exactly as advertised on first round of communication. If you really want downtown activities, there could be closer places, but for the good nature stuff this is S-tier. And still only a 10-15 min bike from old town.

    This property works well for us. It is conveniently located for our family that lives in Fort Collins. It is very well stocked and we were not lacking anything. Being able to bring our dog and have a secure fenced yard is the biggest benefit for us! The building is older, but it is quaint and we are very satisfied with our stay. This is our second visit here. We will be back!

    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.
