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. 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 are hoping to spend time in Spain this June and/or July. Madrid is ideal as we hope to enroll our boys in a Summer camp there that starts June 23 for a week or two. Also very interested in Northern Spain."
