About this property
The Beautiful Bear’s Den! Walk to Old Town & CSU!
The Bear’s Dean is a beautiful light-filled space with warm wood accents and a cozy cabin-like interior, less than 1 mile from both CSU and the Old Town Square in Fort Collins. The rental features all newer furnishings with a cozy lodge feel, a plush king-sized bed and a great patio for relaxing and enjoying a glass of wine. You will love the location, quiet neighborhood, and tree-lined streets. Just imagine exploring Fort Collins easily on foot or bike, enjoying local food and music, and then relaxing in our beautifully remodeled home!
Come relax and enjoy the best of Fort Collins right out your front door! From the Bear’s Den, you can easily walk to restaurants, nightlife, shopping and yoga or head to the Farmers Market and pick up some local produce. You can also grab our cruiser bikes to ride along the Poudre River Trail or embark on a self-guided brewery tour. In the evening, we invite you to visit nearby restaurants such as Nick’s Italian and The Colorado Room to enjoy some local eats. Then head home and enjoy the games and books provided that give this home a charm that reminds you of a local lodge!
