About this property
Two bright rooms in charming 1910 Old Town cottage.
ALL RACES AND GENDERS ARE WELCOME IN MY HOME.
Two bright rooms in owner-occupied charming 1910 Old Town cottage. Safe, friendly, neighborhood 5 blocks to CSU, 7 blocks to Old Town. Private entrance from back patio with fountain, extensive gardens. Shared bathroom. Wi-fi. Owner, one cat, small dog live here. No outside pets permitted.
Infants are welcome, but otherwise no children under the age of 13, as my rescue dog Arlo is afraid of children.
Reviews: I am new to VRBO but am a "Superhost" with Airbnb. Please visit and select Fort Collins, Colorado $75 and under to read (over 200) reviews for my property.
I DO REQUEST THAT PROSPECTIVE GUESTS INCLUDE A PHOTO OF THEMSELVES AND A SHORT NOTE INCLUDING THEIR PLACE OF RESIDENCE.
The space:
When guests enter they come directly into the sitting room. The bedroom is to the right and is connected to the sitting room by a short passage. Both rooms are furnished with antiques as well as modern pieces. New luxury mattress and linens on queen bed, extra pillows and down comforter available. The adjacent large and airy sitting room has French doors leading out to your patio with fountain (in warm weather) and the garden. Sitting room is conveniently set up for working on your laptop.
The shared bathroom is just a few steps away from the bedroom. Toothpaste, lotion, goats milk or shea butter soap, and hair products all provided, along with lovely thick towels.
Guests are welcome to use the kitchen to prepare meals and to store food and beverages in the frig, with the understanding that they will leave the kitchen clean!
If guests plan to prepare dinner, please coordinate times with the owner.
Guests also are free to enjoy the back patio with fountain and garden in warm weather.
Complimentary coffee or tea in the morning. :)
Guest access:
The Guest area comprises a sitting room and attached bedroom plus back patio with fountain (in summer). There is a private entrance to the rental unit from the back patio. The door leading from the guest sitting room to the host's part of the house is to remain closed. Guests will use the bedroom door to access the kitchen and bathroom. The Guest bedroom door as well as the sitting room door should be kept closed to maintain guest/host privacy. Guests are welcome to use the kitchen to prepare meals and to store food and beverages in the frig with the understanding that they will leave the kitchen clean!
The house does of course have free Wi-fi.
VERY IMPORTANT: THE CAT IS NEVER TO GO OUTSIDE! PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT SHE DOES NOT DASH OUT THE DOOR WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR.
Interaction with guests:
The owner (Lisa K.) lives in the house and most times will be here to greet you when you arrive. I will be happy to advise you about restaurants, shopping, bicycle rentals, hiking trails, etc. I really enjoy having guests in my home. My primary goal is to provide my guests with clean, comfortable rooms and to be friendly and helpful but not intrusive, preserving your privacy as well as mine. Guest area is the sitting room and bedroom, with access to the kitchen and bathroom, of course and back patio.
My private areas are the dining room, living room, front bedroom and front porch. However, this doesn't mean that we can't enjoy a glass of wine or morning cup of coffee together if the occasion arises.:)

About the host
Hosted by Lisa D. Knudsen
I am 71 years old, retired from the book business for 10 years. I have lived in this house for 24 years and I count my lucky stars every day. The house was built in 1910 and I have done a lot to it over the years - new kitchen, new bathroom, red oak floors to match the original in several rooms, renovated the side porch into a sunroom, replaced the front porch. In the back of the house I have added French doors leading from the sitting room to a new patio, with fountain and pergola.
Why they chose this property
My house is in a wonderful neighborhood in Old Town Fort Collins. There are lots and lots of trees and my neighbors and I have a friendly competition with our flower gardens.
My son, who is now 28, attended Dunn Elementary, which is just three blocks away. I have loved watching the children on their way to and from school - first as babies in strollers accompanying their older brother or sister, then a few short years later on their scooters and then bicycles.

What makes this property unique
My house is a 10-minute walk from the shops and restaurants in the center of Old Town, and a 15-minute walk to the CSU campus. City-owned rental bikes are available, which you can pick up in one location and drop off in another are available just a few blocks away.
