We loved our stay in this sweet cottage. It’s set back off the road, and has a lovely, private fenced backyard. Artful decor with some thoughtful holiday additions. Super comfy beds and very clean. We’d definitely choose to stay here again.

Nice small house. It was clean and up to date. If you want some privacy it is not that. Neighbors on both sides literally.

The cottage was lovely. Our CSU kiddo was able to spend time with us at ‘our place’ vs their apt. Great location as a base for our FOCO exploration. Our hosts thought of everything; well appointed kitchen, comfy beds, warm and inviting living room. We enjoyed the firepit at night. And the place was even more beautiful with the Thanksgiving snow. Highly recommend.

Blocks from Colorado State University and minutes from Oldtown. Very clean home with a full kitchen and anything you may need. Weather did not allow us to use the backyard but had a fire pit and gas grill. I would stay here again!

The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The property accommodated every need, including a peaceful and beautiful back yard. The beads were so comfortable! The location was perfect, we walked less than a mile for breakfast in old town. We will definitely stay here again the next time we’re in Ft. Collins!

Perfect accommodation for two of us to visit family in FoCo. Kitchen had all we needed. Having coffee and filters available was a nice touch. Also, the pillows were the best I have had anywhere, including hotels. Nice neighborhood. Easy to locate the house.

It was very conveniently located for us to visit our son at CSU and go to a football game but also conveniently located to old town and a lovely neighborhood to just walk around. The "Little" coffeeshop/restaurant just down the street was amazing. The Cottage itself was super clean and just darn cute and comfortable.

We stayed in this adorable cottage when we came to Fort Collins to visit CSU. The location was perfect. We could walk to the local grocery store and restaurant for breakfast. This really let us feel like “locals”. We enjoyed sitting in the backyard in the evening. Very comfy inside with everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again! The property manager reached out during our stay to see if we needed anything which was really nice.

We enjoyed our stay here very much. House is adorable. Nice art work. Everything was clean! Contact with the owner was quick and easy. Kitchen had what you need to cook all your meals for the week: pots, pans, utensils, peelers, chef knife etc. I was able to serve a holiday meal for 6 without a hitch. Back yard is a great space to hang out. Little deck for morning coffe nice too. Location was great. Walked to grocery and downtown. City park was nearby. Best choice we've made in Fort Collins.

Cottage is updated with full-size kitchen so we were easily able to cook all the Thanksgiving favorites. Outdoor fire pit and deck were wonderful for evening chats. Comfy beds and large shower - this stay was so enjoyable!

We couldn't have been happier with our 10 day stay at this charming home in Fort Collins! The property manager, Amy, was super easy to work with and very accessible during our stay. The house was perfect, with a large fenced back yard where we spent much of our down time on the deck or tossing a ball to our dog on the lawn. We've rented several houses in Fort Collins over the years, but it's the first stay in this neighborhood and we loved it! Walking distance to City Park, Beavers's Super Market, and Little on Mountain, this home is in a great location. We'll definitely rent this gem again!

Shields Cottage is an Absolute Gem in FoCo
Our first experience in renting and staying at a VRBO. It was so wonderful and charming. It surpassed any of our hopes and expectations. Prime location! We were in town for our daughter’s graduation from CSU. This property and it’s accommodations were absolutely perfect in every way for our very special weekend. We loved it during winter, I can only imagine how wonderful it would be during spring/summer. Like I said, it’s truly a gem in a very charming neighborhood of Fort Collins. Highly recommended!
