My husband and I stayed here while visiting family during Christmas. Barn is over the top with charm & character … Nice & warm with cozy beds & everything we needed. Owners left us a welcome snack basket which was great for our late arrival. Location is convenient to restaurants and down town tucked away from The road with plenty of parking. Loved our stay

5 friends quilting in Ft. Collins loved staying at the red barn. It is a very comfortable place to stay. We loved the big gathering room with all the tv’s and a very well stocked kitchen. At one time we had the CU game on one tv, CSU game on another tv and the World Series on another tv. It was great. The beds were all comfortable. Thank you for the comfort of your “red barn”.

The barn had plenty of common space for our group -comfortable bedrooms-plenty of TVs and cool decor. The host is on property and very accommodating. the only suggestion I would give is that it might not be idea for someone with mobility issues - one bedroom did not require stairs but the bathroom on that level was a claw tub that might be challenging access

I was a little worried about the size of the barn and our party size but it worked out great, the only thing that could have made it better was maybe a half bath. With 10 girls it was a little challenging showering and getting ready but we made it work. Maybe mirrors in the bedrooms as well since we were limited on space to get ready. But overall it was a very nice stay and great locations.

The big red barn was a wonderful and unique property for our group of girlfriends to gather for a weekend together exploring some of the great things that Fort Collins, Colorado has to offer.
We loved the location and the close access to Old Town, the CSU campus and Trial Flower Garden, and Lory State Park.
The host Russell was very prompt and responsive to our requests and questions.
We liked that there were so many beds.
One drawback was the bathroom situation: there are not enough bathrooms for the number of guests the barn can sleep. The main floor bathroom is quite small, and the basement level bathroom is larger, but can only be accessed down a set of tight circular stairs. It was cramped for everyone to get ready at the same time in order to go out for dinner. Maybe putting a well-lit mirror in every bedroom and in the loft would help to create more spaces for getting dressed.
I also found the property to be just a little bit overpriced for a two-night stay after the cleaning fee and all the other Vrbo fees and taxes were added in. We didn't spend very much time at the barn, and we certainly didn't make a mess of the place when we were there, so it was a bit expensive for our purposes and impact.
All that said, we did really enjoy the barn property. It was a memorable place to stay. It would have been nice to spend more time at the barn, but there are a lot of fun things to do in and around FoCo. I guess we needed a longer weekend!

My daughters review-
We absolutely loved staying at the Historic Barn House.
I just got married, and needed a bigger place for guests & family to be able to stay so I found this property to stay at with friends and family before the wedding and we all loved your property.
If you are looking for a great area to bring family & friends this is the place .
We all were able to relax and watch movies in the theater room, and the layout of the house was perfect for our group . We all had a great time & plan on visiting again in the future .
Thank you for proving such a wonderful property for so many people to enjoy . I will always remember getting ready for my wedding at your house .

The stay at the barn house was fun. We loved the history and feel of the home. We would definitely stay again if we ever go back to Ft, Collins. My boys (husband included) had so much fun playing ping pong and darts. Loved it 5 stars! Thank you.

What a fantastic house! The style and quirky house that hosts large groups perfectly! We stayed with two families including 4 teens for the CSU move in week. The location was perfect and the house was large so we could all spread out to our own spaces, after driving from the PNW for 3 days, that was required! Russell was super attentive when we needed some soap and having the kitchen stocked with lots of dishware was important. We will for SURE, stay again at the big barn house when we are in town! Thanks much!

Even though we live in Fort Collins, we booked ‘the Barn’ for a week to host our 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration and family reunion. Couldn’t have done better. Everyone loved the unique ambiance. There was lots of room and a variety of local options to keep everyone happy. 5 stars down the line

Our group had an amazing time here. The barn is so beautiful! It almost has the feel of being in the country even though it’s right in town. It’s a great location to be in. I definitely recommend this place as a place to stay for people with a big group.

This property is amazing. Our daughter got married and this house was a perfect place for family and friends to stop by and visit. The theater room was a great space for all the teens to watch movies and play games. We hosted a brunch a day after the wedding and were able to easily accommodate our family and friends. The house was comfortable and well-equipped. We would highly recommend this property to anyone. We received multiple comments from our guests about what a neat, unique and wonderful property it was. Thank you for a great stay.

Russell & Veronica were amazing hosts! The Red Barn was perfect for our big framily group while we played softball all over the Ft Collins area. It has plenty of space for 3 families to all have private space but also amazing outdoor and indoor group areas. We made full use of the cornhole boards, ping pong table and grill in the evenings for down time and the large kitchen and living area were perfect for mornings and everything in between.

Everyone in the family loved the barn and didn't want to leave when our stay was over. It is extremely well equipped throughout and especially in the kitchen.
The owners were very kind and welcoming. It was a fantastic vacation experience!

Unique and beautiful decor make the barn house a fabulous meeting place for my large extended family! This was our second time at the barn house. Everything is very clean, kitchen has plenty of supplies, great basement bathroom. Best of all, we love the main floor large open dining room/kitchen/living room area. So much room for us all to hang out together. That long dining room table is the best! My elderly parents can maneuver their walkers quite easily into the house via the side double doors. They love sitting at the table watching everything going on. This time we celebrated my dad's 90th birthday. We hope to do the same next year for my mom's 90th! Thank you, Russell and Veronica!

Property was just like in the pictures. Very nice. Property manager was onsite and responsive. All appliances worked and were in good order. Would’ve been nice to have more dishes for our larger group and some plastics for the kids. Otherwise a great place to stay.

We stayed for a long weekend with extended family who was visiting out of state, we were able to have a baby shower celebration here and it was the perfect space. The barn house is so unique and beautifully renovated, the rooms are comfortable and rustic. We loved our stay and the hosts were so accommodating. I would highly recommend the beautiful barn house for any stay or small celebration. Thank you for having us!

What a beautiful weekend we all had to celebrate friendship and health. We were there to watch our friend's daughter play basketball at CSU. She is recovering from a rare form of liver cancer. We laughed, we cried, we slept, we ate, and we loved the property. We all hope to return again soon. Thank you!

Whoa, if you are visiting FoCo, particularly with a group - this a fantastic place to stay. Great rustic feel but with all of the creature comforts you want. Huge entertaining spaces and cozy bedrooms. I only wish that I could have build a fire in the wood stove! Clear communication on check-in. Would stay there again in a heart beat.

My family and I had a great time at the Barn! Russell and Veronica were fabulous hosts and very attentive (but not too attentive ;). The Barn is beautifully set up and accommodated our family of 7 perfectly. Everyone had their private spaces and the great room was large and comfortable. Ping pong, games, books, tvs and more kept us entertained in the evenings and the perfect location kept us close to our adventures (old town is just a few blocks away!). Have to shout out to Russell and Veronica’s sweet kids for making sure we had homemade cookies for Santa (that was a near-miss on our part since we didn’t have any for him! Whew!!). Thank you for a great time!! Greg and Danielle De Soto

We used the property as a venue for a college graduation party with family from out of town. The space was great for everyone. The convenience to town was great but we were comfortable eating and socializing together here. We would stay here again!

I rented this property with my family, sister and her family, and my parents. Eleven of us stayed comfortably in the barn, and enjoyed the space inside and outside. We enjoyed the space and the offerings! The host was communicative and hospitable throughout the stay, and we felt very welcome.
The only note to future visitors, which is just a suggestion not a negative view on the space, is to bring baby gates if traveling with a mobile toddler, as the two sets of stairs are metal and could be a hazard (we moved a chair and ottoman in front of the stairs and had no injuries).
If we were back to visit the area in the future we would definitely stay at the space again!
5.0
We had a party of 11, two families with kids ranging in age from 16 months - 14 and the house was perfect for us (once we put up barriers to prevent the baby from going up or down the stairs). It is such a unique place! Loved the layout and decor! The kids loved playing ping pong and the grown ups loved the fire pit at night after the kids were all in bed! We can't recommend this place more highly. It's conveniently located and the hosts were easy to communicate with and very accommodating.
If I had to give one critique, it would be that we had flannel sheets on the beds in July and it was unusually hot our first day (mid-90's) so we got a bit warm sleeping on the flannel sheets. But I'm sure in the winter they feel amazing!
If you are looking for a comfortable (and unique) place to stay in Fort Collins, this is the place! We would stay again in a heartbeat!
