About this property

Designer Retreat in Old Town! Perfect for CSU parents..Walk everywhere

This elegant historic house is steps away from Old Town Fort Collins and the beautiful Colorado State University campus. Best location in town for proximity to CSU and Old Town! Old Town is a charmingly preserved downtown area that includes over 80 restaurants. The picturesque area was the inspiration behind Disneyland's "Main Street USA." Fort Collins prides itself on the plethora of restaurants and outdoor activities, a vibrant downtown and of course, our beer. Fort Collins is always full of things to do, no matter the season.

The property is meticulously maintained, fully remodeled in 2017 and is furnished with everything you need from napkins to soap to dishes and everything in between!

The house sleeps 4 in two Queen beds. There is a lovely gourmet kitchen, a washer/dryer and a front porch to watch the passer-bys and enjoy the vibrancy of Old Town. Also included is a back deck overlooking the garden for all your entertainment needs:))

There are two separate units in this historic house. There may be another guest staying in the upper unit during your stay. If so, the backyard and parking area are enjoyed by both. Also, there might be some noise transference between the floors...the charm of creaky stairs in a house built in 1903! If you are late night loud drinkers, please stay elsewhere because of the potential of another group staying above you and it could disturb others. Thanks!

Lovely place to stay in Fort Collins

Enjoyed the stay during a quick girls weekend getaway to Fort Collins. The house is spacious with a great backyard & deck to unwind after a day/night exploring the area. Would definitely stay here again - Harriet was easy to communicate with before & during the stay. It's an older home so floors are a little loud especially with guest upstairs but overall a great location!

We had a lovely time. It was our first stay in Fort Collins and this was perfect for us. We walked to College Ave and were centrally located for our activities. We would stay here again. Our hostess was attentive with the house and things to do and lists of restaurants. Thank you for the home!

The perfect place to call home while away!

We had an amazing 10 day stay at 640 Remington! The house was beautiful, charming and very welcoming. It was clean and functioned perfectly as our home away from home. We enjoyed coffee on the front porch each morning and wine while barbecuing on the back patio overlooking the lovely backyard. The location is ideal and we can’t wait to return! Harriet was extremely easy to work with and extremely responsive to our every need. Thank you for such a fantastic vacation!

Lovely house , conveniently close to University campus

Really pleasant, well-maintained and scrupulously clean property that was very comfortable and very convenient for access to the university campus and a number of nearby restaurants. Communication with the landlord was fast, efficient and very helpful, and the nice garden out back was a plus. Landlord was also flexible regarding one of my requests and very pleasant to deal with. Overall, exceeded expectations

Great Place Great Location

My family and I were visiting for our daughter's CSU orientation in July. The house is conveniently located near campus and the center of town but still on a quiet street with quaint old houses. We walked everywhere. The house has all the amenities you need and air conditioning too! Harriet sent along a great list of places to eat and things to do which was a gem we'll keep since we'll be visiting often.

About the host

Hosted by Harriet Fox

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Harriet! I have three grown kids and now want to share my love and respect of the history of Fort Collins. Sometimes, when I sit on the porch, I can visualize the horse and buggy's riding down the street in front of the house. I feel like a steward of this piece of Colorado history!

I love to cook creatively and have a gourmet kitchen which is well suited to food prep and dining as are the kitchens in my short term rentals:)
The five things I can not live without are my grown kids, my family and friends, my enthusiasm for life, my garden, and outdoor living. My life motto is: Success in life is not getting what you want, but wanting what you get!

Why they chose this property

My college years were spent in fabulous Fort Collins, and since then, the town has done nothing but grow and incorporate all the fun things that Colorado has to offer! This house is respectfully remodeled with all the modern amenities sophisticated renters would enjoy! Relax inside or venture forth to the vibrant day and night life, just steps away.

I have multiple short term rental properties on the same street. If this one is occupied during your desired dates, or if more space is needed, please check out our other offerings: VRBO #1234331,1171258,1171631,1238392, 1238440,1234330,1239774,1237525
