This is our second stay in Shields Cottage - and even with our Ram graduating this Spring, we doubt it will be our last. The host is fabulous; kind and responsive. The cottage decor is sweet and makes for a comfortable temporary home with all the right touches and extras.

Cutest Cottage there ever was!
Such a darling place with so much charm & character! The home was comfortable, inviting, and had everything we could possibly need. The property manager was quick to respond to messages, gave helpful hints on where to dine in the area, & made sure our stay was enjoyable. Absolutely recommend & will definitely be back for another stay in the future!

Classic old town Fort Collins
We stayed here for a wedding weekend and thoroughly enjoyed this place! Beautiful front and back yard perfect for our pup and a casual hang on the evening. I've lived in Old Town and our stay here was the quintessential Fort Collins vibe

Fort Collins Gem
This is a very cute house that was comfortable, homey and well supplied with every essential item that we needed. We really enjoyed the location within the Fort Collins area and the neighborhood itself. The street was blocked off for construction so the quietness may have been due to that, but it was very quiet and peaceful. The only thing that was not pleasant and is not the fault of the owner, is the neighbor next door who smokes weed all day long. It was present on the front porch, back deck and the smell would also get into the house when the doors opened. While we totally hate that smell, and it was pretty regular, we would probably stay here again as it really is a charmer.

So cute and comfortable!
Enjoyed the outdoors as much as the indoors. The house is well appointed and just the right size for the two of us. The back yard and front yard were of about equal size. Enjoyed reading on the front porch! The long driveway makes the address on a busy street feel really safe.The house is also well located to all the fun restaurants, shopping, and outdoor activities that Fort Collins has to offer.

My husband and I stayed while our furry family member had surgery at CSU. The cottage was adorable and very comfortable and had everything we could need. The front yard was perfect for our little dog as it is set back from the road! Amy was a wonderful and receptive host!

This was the perfect little place for our family to call home base. We loved the location and it allowed us to venture to RMNP, Estes Park, and all over Fort Collins! The backyard was an oasis for our pups! The host even let out pups out and dropped off a cookie for my kids one afternoon! Definitely recommend this sweet spot in Fort Collins!

Charming Hobbit Cottage
Shields Cottage is a perfect selection for a relaxing stay in Fort Collins. The host has provided everything needed for an enjoyable visit: lovely furnishings; comfortable beds; and fully-equipped kitchen. It is conveniently located in town, yet the landscaping gives a feeling of seclusion. A variety of flowers blooming in both the front and back yards are a special treat. We enjoyed every moment at this charming hobbit cottage and only wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend!

Property Properly Perfect
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.

The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The property accommodated every need, including a peaceful and beautiful back yard. The beads were so comfortable!
