Welcome to The Sanctuary of Fort Collins. Built in 1902 and designated a historic landmark by the City of Fort Collins, this property has the distinction of being the home of seven different churches in its 100+-year history. We purchased the partially-renovated property in 2012, completed the renovation over the next few years and have since made it our full-time guest house. It features period-correct architectural elements, retains its original wood floors and stained glass, yet still provides the modern comforts of today.

There are three bedrooms, each with their own bath and all on separate levels. The main level of the house features an eat-in kitchen, the master bedroom and bath, an additional half bath, and the formal living room, which features my grandmother’s baby-grand Steinway, dating back to the late 1920s. The upstairs loft features a game room and the second bedroom and bath. The basement features a media room, wine cellar, office area, laundry room, and the third bedroom and bath. Outside you’ll find a quaint courtyard, gazebo and patio space for dining al fresco or simply enjoying the garden.

We use enhanced cleaning procedures and keep the property vacant a minimum of 24 hours between guests.

If there is anything we can do for you to make your stay more pleasant, please let us know. We live next door and are happy to help when we can. Please note the carriage house and garage are not available for rent and may be occupied by our own guests during your stay. However, do not expect any disruptions should this be the case.

    I fell in love with this unique property! The history is so interesting, as is the house. It offered plenty of room to spread out, comfortable beds, lovely bathrooms and great places to gather (patio, dining room, media room). The location is perfect - so close to Old Town/CSU and the neighborhood is delightful! We had a great stay, and my first time to enjoy a welcome treat!

    The place was convenient, well equipped, clean and interesting. We were out a lot and would have liked to stayed put and enjoyed the home more! But we were there for our daughter's wedding and that was spectacular. So great trip for all!

    This is our third time staying at the church, and we cannot say enough good things. Mark and Denise are excellent hosts. The location cannot be beat and the house is a one of a kind. Most important for us as my wife has chronic joint issue: the master bed is extremely comfortable!! I would highly recommend this property.

    My family and I recently stayed in this home for 5 nights and we highly recommend it. The location was ideal-peaceful, yet close to everything we needed. Our host, Mark, was incredible regarding communication. The home itself was extremely spacious, warm, inviting, and incredibly comfortable, with thoughtful touches throughout. It was clear the hosts put great care into every detail- anything we could possibly need was already there, from kitchen essentials and (start-up) coffee, to cozy blankets and complimentary home-made cookies upon arrival. We truly felt like guests in a well-loved home rather than renters. An exceptional experience all around! Thank you so much for having us, Mark! We'd love to return the next time we plan a trip to Fort Collins!

    Amazing location, communication and house in general! The hosts were so kind and allowed us to enter a little early and with cookies! I always appreciate when people take the time to print out things around you. Overall, a total 10!!!

    What a gorgeous place! We were in town for five days and it quickly felt like home. Three different floors with plenty of room for us all. A great kitchen and dining room where we gathered every morning and evening. Beautiful patio, nice furnishings, comfortable beds. So much attention to detail in every room. The pictures do not do this place justice. It's gorgeous yet comfortable, spacious yet cozy.

    Mark and Denise have added many special touches to this beautiful home including plenty of wooden hangers in the master closet, well stocked bathroom toiletries, and first class kitchen. It was the perfect home for our family with grown children. Lots of privacy with all bedrooms on a different floor. And the backyard was adorable. One of our best VRBO experiences!
