Living Room (flat screen t.v. rises up from entertainment center)
Location: Fort Collins, Front Range, Colorado, USA (1 Hour and 10 Minutes from Downtown Denver and DIA)
Accommodations: Condominium, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
Wake up and enjoy your coffee while reading the paper, then stroll into the park for a walk or bike ride....or stroll into Old Town and enjoy the shopping, restaurants, and shows. No other executive rental combines such quaint serenity with everything that is Old Town quite like this loft.
The loft consists of a spacious living room, kitchen and dining room, one bedroom with full closet, one utility room in which is located a washing machine, and a full bath. In addition to our boast that it's THE BEST Old Town location, this loft offers all stainless steel appliances, slab granite counter tops, wood floors, solid wood doors, European style cabinetry, custom blinds, a flat-screen TV with complimentary cable (including HBO), and of course Wi-Fi internet access for those lost cyber souls amongst us.
Lee Martinez Park is literally steps away from the loft front door. This 90-acre park is bordered on its northern side by the Cache la Poudre River (The French were here once, ok?) and is lined with lush, natural vegetation. The park boasts a seasonal petting zoo, playgrounds, basketball courts, and a lighted baseball field where you might find a community league baseball game in progress. These park facilities are surrounded by expansive areas of groomed grass and trees where you can picnic, play catch, do cartwheels, or just lie on the ground and take a snooze. A network of paved and unpaved bike/foot paths runs through the park that is part of the greater Fort Collins bike trail system that meanders throughout the town.
Hmmm, let's see, we've mentioned the varied delights of Old Town, the Lincoln Center, Horsetooth Mountain Reservoir and Park. What's further afield? Oh yeah, we should probably acknowledge those pesky hills off to the west that get in the way of our spectacular sunsets. They call them the Rocky Mountains, don't get us started...but have you ever heard of Rocky Mountain National Park (wildlife everywhere and spectacular scenery up the wazoo) and Estes Park? No-no, too touristy, do what us locals do and go up Poudre Canyon north of Fort Collins to Walden. On your way stop to wade and fish in the river and watch for moose. Alternatively, you could drive Highway 287 up to Laramie, which isn't as twisty-turny as Poudre Canyon and is one of the most scenic, beautiful drives in the state in our humble opinion. Then too, if you're altitude acclimated and hooked on those hills, you might want to bag a 14er. Mid-September through October is the perfect time to experience the turning of the Aspens, which of course starts earlier iin the mountains and continues through October with the drop in altitude onto the plains.
