This property is so close to the CSU campus, we walked over several times. Parking is a little tight if you’re driving a large vehicle but overnight parking on the street is readily available. Beds were very comfortable and the mini splits ensured the bedrooms were a comfortable temperature. Would definitely stay here again!

It was a great location, and clean and well stocked with essentials. The first time I've stayed at a short term rental where we didn't have to do our own cleaning before leaving, so we greatly appreciated that!

What a great property in a great location.

Fort Collins is the most bikeable city that I have been to and this house is right on the main route. The host the the most responsive I have dealt with.

Perfect location and Fantastic Host!

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!

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.

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

The house is wonderful, with every amenity. During the week it was quiet, and on the weekends there were upstairs neighbors. The floors upstairs are noisy. But overall it was really great.
