We had a wonderful time at the McCarty House. Griffin Carpenter was a welcoming host. A minor issue occurred with a lavatory, and Griffin repaired it. The parking was private area with a locked gate (this added a feeling of security.The rooms were clean, kitchen was stocked with non-perishable tasty foods. You could spend the first night in a comfortable kingsize bed. Then, wake up in the morning enjoy a cup of coffee & decide your next plan for Fort Collins.The laundry room in the basement is also available for any clothing issues.I would highly recommend staying at the B.H. McCarty House.

Wonderful Stay in Fort Collins

Host Griffin and Carley went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. Griffin completely overhauled the gas grill so we could use it for a Mother’s Day dinner with family. The house is clean and very well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Plenty of room to host family yet cozy when it was just the two of us. Location is convenient to so much. Walking distance to Old Town shops and restaurants. There is a Target and grocery store close by. We will definitely stay here again.

Great Rental

The house was a wonderful old house in an excellent part of Fort Collins. Close enough to downtown to walk but very quiet and peaceful. The home was well appointed and the host had every thing you could think of at your disposal at the property. Would definitely recommend this property.

Couldn't be better

Our hosts thought of everything --- snacks, drinks in the fridge, fresh flowers --- to make us feel welcome in this comfortable and beautifully furnished house, just across the street from the Fort Collins library, a short walk away from downtown. I'd happily stay here again! My friends and I had a wonderful trip.

Spectacular stay in Fort Collins

My daughters, son-in-law and two young grandchildren stayed in the property for four nights while attending a wedding event in Fort Collins. The place was perfect. We could not have beat the location making trips to Old Town and College Street on foot with the kids on scotters or in the stroller. And it is right across the street from a great library and a fun outdoor park that the kids loved. The kitchen was wonderfully outfitted and we cooked several meals there that were enjoyed around the large kitchen table. The hosts had thoughfully stocked the frig with a few beverages and there was a basket of snacks that hit the spot. We loved the offstreet parking. Will definitely stay there again as we have kids and grandkids in the City.

About the host

Hosted by Griffin Carpenter

Host profile image
The Jean and Wayne Carpenter family purchased the property in 1980. Wayne used it for his professional offices until 2015. After Wayne retired, the family decided to return the property to the duplex it had been designated before 1980. Ironically, the house was built in 1902 but the Carpenter family are only the third owners. We have undertaken many renovations and placed the house on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Fort Collins Local Landmarks registry. The interior woodwork was completely stripped and restored to its natural beauty. Modifications have been made to make the apartment comfortable and homey. The whole place was weatherized to make it more energy-efficient and pleasant. The roof was replaced with materials similar to the original. The brickwork has been retucked as has the stone foundation.

Why they chose this property

The property is centrally located within the Old Town area of Fort Collins and near Colorado State University, several breweries, museums, the Max transit terminal, the Bustang terminal, and a wonderful selection of restaurants and pubs. Art galleries,
Walrus Ice Cream, specialty shops, and boutique clothing stores dot the area. In summer, concerts are held in the Old Town Plaza.

What makes this property unique

Stay in a historic property while you enjoy all the amenities of Fort Collins and Colorado State University!
