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.:)

An unplugged, charming, very comfortable place to stay
This was my first experience staying in Fort Collins and this little home is as inviting and charming as it looks. It’s easy to walk to shopping and restaurants and was so comfortable! It was so clean and I loved the animals. Lisa was a very professional and warm hostess.

The charm is strong with this one
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lisa's quaint and homey cottage; the house was architecturally fascinating and surrounded by rambling gardens and whimsical statuary. A plethora of books were available in the cozy sitting room and the bed was one of the most comfortable we'd EVER slept in. Our only regret is that we didn't have much time to spend chatting with Lisa, as we found her one of the most interesting innkeepers we've ever met. I would love to come back and get to chat with her more! We would definitely recommend visitors to stay with her; the old town section is very quaint and visually rewarding, with wide streets and lots of piles of leaves to kick! Close to Old Town and to the relatives we were visiting. We would love to come back in the spring to see those gardens in full bloom!

A hidden gem near Old Town
Lisa's home was a gem of a property! The whole yard is a garden with fresh flowers, a fountain, and tomato plants (yumm!). The rooms were cozy, the bed was SO comfortable, and Lisa was the most hospitable person I've met in a long time. She made me feel at home and went above and beyond sorting through solutions when there were WiFi problems, since I had to work while here. The coffee was delicious - and she recommended restaurants, coffee shops, trails, and more for me to do in the spare time I had. On top of that, she had a refurbished clawfoot tub in her 1910-built house. Need I say more? If you are in Fort Collins, stay with Lisa. A short walk is all it takes to get to Old Town, but the house is on a quiet, safe street. Can't wait to be back!

Beautiful Garden and Cottage!
We had such a wonderful stay here. Lisa was a great host and we enjoyed chatting with her. The home was cute and comfortable. Our favorite part however, was the amazing backyard garden! We could not believe how beautiful and lush it was. So happy we stayed in the summer and could enjoy it. We had a lovely morning drinking coffee by the water fountain.

Wonderful Week!
I had a wonderful stay at Lisa's adorable, charming house with lovely gardens! A perfect setting for a quiet retreat week in Old Town with all the conveniences and within walking distance to the downtown area. The fountain in the garden area made for a delightful, relaxing setting for breakfast, lunch or just sitting or reading on the patio. Lisa is a delightful host! I will be back! Kathleen

Cozy and Close to everything.
Lisa was fantastic and the space was gorgeous. We were 5-10 minutes from everything and, had it not been so cold, would have walked. Lisa was a fantastic host and really cared about making it a great stay. Can't wait to return when it's green outside and enjoy the gorgeous garden area at the home.

Beautiful and Cozy Place to Stay During Brief Trip to Fort Collins
This was my first time booking with VRBO and I found it to be a great experience. Lisa was a wonderful host. She made me feel very welcome and comfortable in her home. Her cat and dog were friendly and adorable, the bed and sofa were very comfy, and the coffee and tea in the kitchen were a nice touch. I would highly recommend staying with Lisa to anyone who is planning a trip to Fort Collins. I wouldn't change a thing- except that I wish I got to say bye before I left for the airport! Thank you for your hospitality, Lisa :)

Perfect hostess, cottage, and location!
Old Town Fort Collins is a wonderful place to visit anyway, but add in Lisa's precious two rooms in a 1910 cottage and you have a recipe for a perfect stay. Garden gate, roses, sunny pergola, porch swing, french doors, luscious mattress and linens, clawfoot tub, pour over freshly ground coffee, a book dealer's curated shelves, tabby cat curled up on your lap, the list can go on and on...literally cottage magic! Guests can walk a few Mayberry-like blocks to shopping and dining in Old Town. I can't wait until I can return again in early summer when the flowers and trees are in bloom. Absolutely charming!

Lisa keeps a spotless and inviting home.
We truly enjoyed our stay in Lisa's cottage. We had our own private entrance to the home, so we never felt like we were disturbing her when we'd get back late. Lisa is so friendly, kind, and considerate- every morning there would be mugs and coffee filters on the kitchen counter waiting for us. She's also a great conversationalist! There are animals in the home- an adorable little dog named Arlo and the sweetest kitty, Colette. It was always a treat to see either of them. The mattress in the bedroom is incredibly cozy- we slept great. Lisa really looks out for the comfort of her guests, providing a basket of slippers in various sizes and a space heater in each room. If I ever come back to Fort Collins, I know exactly where I'll be staying. Thanks Lisa for the wonderful lodging experience!
