1. Characterful apartment with nice views of Longs Peak (from USD 99)
Where better to spend your time in the hip city of Fort Collins than this equally trendy and architecturally beautiful apartment close to Poudre River Whitewater Park? It’s a third-floor unit that’s accessible from the spiral stairs on the balcony, so it’s better suited for light packers.
The unit is a character in itself, featuring accent walls and bright pieces here and there. There’s an equipped kitchenette to help you prepare light meals throughout the day, and Old Town is a 10-minute walk away if you like dining out. One of the best spots in this rental is surely the private patio with stunning views of Longs Peak.
