General Overview

Our mid century home is in a quiet neighborhood with large properties, yet ten minutes drive (15 minutes by bike) from downtown Fort Collins with lots of micro breweries, coffee shops, restaurants and the university. The poudre river and several bike paths meander through town and the region. We have a large yard that’s great for kids, soccer, or just lounging. We live 15 minutes from Lori State Park and Horsetooth Reservoir, 20 minutes from the Poudre Canyon, and just over an hour from Denver and Red Rocks Ampetheatre to the south, Boulder and Rocky Mountain National Park to the southwest. In addition to the Colorado nature and mountains, there’s hiking, camping and hot springs to explore about an hour northwest in Wyoming. Our region is great for hiking, fly fishing, mountain biking, cycling and camping. Fort Collins is also known for many microbreweries with beer gardens, including some of the first in the country, New Belgium and Odell. There’s also a lot of live music and festivals throughout town, and events at the university. We have bikes and camping gear available.

Brigid

We are a family in Colorado. We love exploring different places, cultures and making friends from around the world. Sometimes it will just be us two, and sometimes we travel with our children. We have four year old twins (turning 5 in September) and an eight year old. I work in the arts and at Colorado State University. My husband works for a foundation that supports music, community and non profits. Our boys are energetic, but well behaved and respectful (especially when staying in your home!). These are not just our opinions, but we receive this feedback regularly from friends, family and teachers. We would be honored and grateful to be guests in your home and would treat your home with respect and care. We are non smokers and tidy. We do not currently have a pet, but we have in the past, and love caring for animals too.

"We're excited to explore various places in Europe. I lived in Italy and Germany in my twenties, and traveled to many places. I'm excited to experience this with my family, and home exchange is such a special way to do that!"
