Lakefront Fort Collins Townhome, Only 3 Mi to CSU!

Reviews

• Central location

  3/5

  Way more decor than we are comfortable with; artificial plants and nicknack’s on every surface. No pots and pans, only electric appliances. Very Christian sayings on walls and large mirrors everywhere. That said, the shower and tub were great, plenty of towels and any necessity we forgot was there in spades. Excellent location for our purposes, though turning left onto the main road was tricky. Best for old/fashioned folks who don’t mind clutter and don’t plan to cook.

  Hi Karen, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - We use professional photographers so we can be sure that our images accurately reflect the property and guests can decide before booking if the home, decor, and furnishings meet their expectations.
  - We were surprised to hear your comments about pots and pans. A full set of pots, pans, and skillets is available in the cabinets and the drawer under the stove for guests who wish to cook during their stay. We wish you had reached out to the Guest Contact, we would have promptly responded and been happy to help you locate them.
  - We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the shower and tub, as well as the thoughtful touches like the plentiful towels and necessities.
  - The location is one of the home’s highlights, and we appreciate your note about turning left onto the main road—it’s helpful for future guests to plan accordingly.
  We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

• Visiting Daughter Who Attends CSU

  4/5

  The place was clean and comfortable. I rented this property because of the lakefront views that were advertised. When we arrived there really wasn't any water at our end of the lake because they are working on the dam. We were notified of this the day before our stay (still not totally clear how "low" it was). We later found out this has been an issue for a couple of months.

  We would have chosen to stay closer to our daughter's apartment if we had know. However, it is roomy, clean and comfortable - just felt it is being falsely advertised at this time. I am sure it is really amazing when the water is up.

  From the owner: "Our apologies its the first year we’ve been aware of the need to drain the lake to repair the dam. It takes a few months to drain all the water in order to do the inspection. We attempt to call all guests about a week out before their visit. They chose to drain it in the fall/winter season when the lake is usually frozen and covered with snow. I hope to host you again in the future."

• Parents weekend

  4/5

  I booked this property because of the lake view. It was further from campus but looked so pretty. When we arrived there was no lake. We weren’t told about this until the day before our visit. It was SO disappointing. Also the front bedroom has a lot of traffic noise which we didn’t expect. The kitchen leaves much to be desired if you plan on cooking. Knives pots and pans could all be updated and serving platters were scarce. I would’ve enjoyed this much more if I’d been able to enjoy the beautiful view that was promised. That being said.the home is nicely kept and lots of sitting areas.

• Cozy, comfortable, close to everything

  5/5

  Very cozy, well stocked, clean home. Beautiful back yard located on the lake (which was quite dry during my stay but still beautiful back yard views) Susan was super nice and accommodating. Unbelievably well stocked…from the pantry and spices to the welcome goodie bowl and even a basket of kids toys so when my grandson came over for a sleepover he enjoyed all the “new” things to play with! Would definitely stay again! Downside it does have a lot of stairs and road noise was noticeable … especially on the weekend but if you’re going to be close to everything I think that’s part of it! Great place with plenty of space for a family to enjoy a very cozy, “homey” get away!
