Let the Choice City Bungalow and our garden oasis be your home away from home. Built in 1900, this charming 1 bedroom, 1 bath home with a newly updated kitchen tells the story of historic Fort Collins. Arrive at your private retreat through the screen door entrance, the gateway to a secret garden path. The house is situated on a quiet street, just a five-minute walk away to favorite Old Town shops, bars, restaurants, museums, popular performing arts venues, and our world-famous breweries. CSU is also located just a few blocks away. If you feel like reconnecting with nature, ride one of our bikes or take a relaxing stroll to City Park or the Poudre River. If you want to get a bit further around town, the MAX bus stop and several other city bus lines are just around the corner. The Canino family, true Fort Collins locals and the former owners of the oldest Italian restaurant in Fort Collins, Canino’s Italian Restaurant, purchased this quaint house in 1978. Karen Canino, your host, is a recycle artist and former grade-school art teacher. Artist-Explorer Karen runs her recycled art shop and gallery Screen Door Studios Gallery established in 2008 from the front part of the property. Open most Saturdays. The business will not interfere with your stay in any way. You might find yourself wanting to purchase your hand made Fort Collins souvenirs right on site. With great attention to detail, Karen lovingly and expertly curated the living space to reflect her travels around the world, eclectic style, love of art and knack for creating custom-made items out of found and recycled objects. Every piece in this home and garden has a story to tell and invites you to take a trip around the world. Bright colors show off molas created by the Kuna Indians of Panama, Oriental rugs provide luxurious softness, and original art turns this home into a miniature gallery. Dine seated at the vintage bench or al fresco at the table under the pergola in the whimsical backyard. Hooked? Here are a few more details to help make your decision: • The full kitchen was updated in 2018. We provide all kitchen essentials including a dishwasher. • Locally sourced soap and other basic toiletries. • Full washer and dryer with essential cleaning products available. • Private driveway for you to park in. • Two bikes are available for your use! • The brass double bed sleeps two extremely comfortably (just read the reviews). We can also provide a twin size rollaway for an extra guest. • Summers can get hot in Fort Collins. To cool this house down sustainably, we invested in an attic fan – the most natural fit for the bungalow. We will teach you how to use it so you can enjoy a cool and relaxing stay. • WiFi • This unconventional home is best suited for adults and children over 8 years old. • Don’t forget, stop by the Screen Door Studio to bring home a one-of-a-kind handmade Fort Collins souvenir!
