We enjoyed our stay with the utmost comfort, and our children really fell in love with the chickens outside.
We loved this quaint, pet-friendly cottage. It was a perfect location for us to visit family, hike, and eat. We enjoyed waking up to the chickens!!! We also were able to feed them, which our 4-year-old loved.
Comfortable and clean, fully functional kitchen. The second bedroom is a little weird but we were aware going in thanks to other reviews, so no issues!
Easy check in and immaculate place. It's just outside of Fort Collins in a quiet part of town. It's in an extremely convenient spot for hiking or going into town to eat.

Fun quaint space that was very easy to find and comfortable!
Everything was great. The dogs and chickens are an interesting twist. The house was clean and in a great location. Although there were chickens, I didn't hear them in the morning so noise wasn't a problem. Next time I'm in Laporte, I would say here again. Thanks.

It was close to the place we were going and it was a very nice place.
My husband and I had an amazing time, our kid felt like he was at home the whole time. It was a great place to stay and we will recommend it to all of our friend and family! The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and the location was perfect
We had an easy one night stay. The property is exactly as described and the chickens were the best part (in our opinion). Exactly what we were looking for.
