Edwards House

I booked the fuller suite for my boyfriends birthday and we had a fantastic experience. The Edwards House and its beautiful accommodations really set the tone for our trip. Breakfast was delicious, service was stellar, the room was the absolute best place I’ve ever stayed. We could grab a soda or coffee whenever we were coming in and out of the house. I wish we could afford to stay longer!

We really had a wonderful time here. It was my boyfriend’s birthday and we just stayed one night, but it was so delightful. It can get noisy at times because the doors are old and the walls are thin, so we could hear our neighbors clear as day (and when they came home wasted at 3am) but the building can’t help that. The breakfast was wonderful and the rooms are just gorgeous. Would definitely visit again

Stayed in September 2014. This was my first stay at a B&B and exceeded all my expectations! The house was old and charming yet modern and chic. We stayed in the Avery Room which had a fireplace and heated bathroom floor (we didn’t use this feature, but how cool!) The couple that ran the house were extremely friendly. Food was delicious, and they accommodated for vegetarians. The location was good and walkable to all things happening in Fort Collins. I would absolutely stay here again, and I recommend anyone traveling to Fort Collins to check this place out!

The other reviews have said it all, which is what led us to Edwards Place. You can walk to the happenings of Fort Collins and come back to the comfort of an amazing bed and warm people.

Beautiful Bed and Breakfast and a great location just 3 blocks to walk to downtown Ft. Collins. The staff was very friendly, the rooms were clean and the breakfast was delicious! (They served banana bread with a fresh fruit assortment, followed by a cheese and bell pepper quiche, asparagus, fried potatoes, toast, juices, local coffee and teas) The whole place has been recently remodeled and the room was very quiet even though they were near capacity. We stayed in the Giddings room, a second floor corner room with a king bed, fireplace, large flat-​screen tv, private bathroom with amenities, and large windows overlooking the trees and flowers. It’s worth the little extra splurge to stay here versus the B&B on College Street or the Hilton a mile away (though for our weekend there was only a $ 10 price difference anyway) They keep a small fridge downstairs with sodas for the guests– the only suggestion I have is that they also provide bottled water. We will definitely stay here from now on when we visit Ft. Collins.

The Edwards House is awesome. It is the most plush B&B and the staff and inn-​keeper were excellent, friendly and very professional. My girlfriend and I stayed in the Avery room. I think this is as good as it gets as far as B&B’s go.
We had a New Belgium Brewery tour at three and so needed an early check-​in. They let us in at 1:30, plenty of time for us to get settled and to our appointment. The breakfast was as good as any in Fort Collins, and that is saying a lot because the breakfast choices in Fort Collins are top-​notch.
The staff was great. They were super friendly and made you feel comfortable and taken care of. I can’t say enough about this place. Next time I’m in Fort Collins, I’m staying at the Edwards House!

I’ll preface this review by saying that this venue is beautiful and it really is the one I wanted. I was putting all my eggs in one basket and just knew that this was the perfect place to get married. I had some issues getting a hold of someone initially, but wrote it off thinking it was just a busy time for them. When I finally got a hold of them, I booked a tour and all seemed good.
I arrived for the tour and the person who was supposed to lead the tour wasn’t there; instead, a nice guy who happened to be there (although, unorganized) showed me around. I loved it and immediately started talking prices and contracts. He didn’t know too much, but was quick to offer to send me information in an email. I was told the same price that was online and emailed a blank contract to look over. Not more than a week later, I tried to get a hold of someone to put down the deposit. No one answered the phone, so I left a message.
Over the next three weeks, I called and left messages with the machine and sometimes with people, and I emailed several times and got no responses. Finally, today, I got a call back. Finally! Only, the girl tells me that I can put the deposit down, but they raised their prices since I first met with them. I asked if they could honor the price I was given and she VERY rudely said no and that I was «welcome to go elsewhere.» What prompted that kind of treatment? They clearly were not interested in being a wedding venue in the first place and should not market themselves as such if they are this distant and disinterested. If they act like this BEFORE they have a deposit in hand, just imagine how hard they would be to work with AFTER they have your money. It’s not that they raised their prices; that’s fine, it’s part of having a business. It’s how I was treated and I wouldn’t want to enter a place planning to get married with that hanging over my head. I suggest that anyone looking here for a venue move along.

Thursday afternoon, I sat outside on the front porch of the Edwards House B&B and a Green Ride shuttle pulled up while I rocked back and forth in my chair. It took me a few long minutes to remember that I did not live there and that shuttle was there to bring me back to the airport. Bummer.
My stay at the Edwards House was awesome. I stayed in the Fuller Suite, which was beautiful. Everything was clean, comfortable and felt like a better version of home where I don’t need to clean or make the bed myself. Also, if you are a big nerd like me then you will get a kick out of what’s in the main closet upstairs. I won’t tell you what it is, as I’d hate to ruin the surprise, but it was a fun thing to come across!
All of the hosts I met were lovely and friendly. Breakfast was phenomenal. Some of the best bacon I’ve ever had, hands down.
I also had a late arrival and there were very clear directions left for me where to go. No problems there at all.
I’ve seen in other reviews about the train, which isn’t isolated to this B&B, it’s an issue in this area overall. Luckily, I sleep like the dead so no need for the ear plugs that they leave for you, but if you’re a light sleeper, then you’ll have this issue in any hotel in this area. I love the area and places like this, however, so it doesn’t scare me away!
I will definitely be back.

Fantastic experience from check-​in through breakfast and check out.
In particular, I enjoyed the following:
— The setting is spectacular. Beautiful grounds, mature trees, an amazing winter scene (especially after a recent snowfall) and close proximity to the heart of Old Town.
— The accomodations are quaint, sufficient, and interesting. I liked the creaky floors, original woodwork, and simplicity of days past. Set your expectations appropriately however — you will hear your neighbor come home and know what TV channel he’s watching in the morning. Its a B&B.
— The staff is very supportive and knowledgeable. Our host (Cassie?) not only put together an amazing breakfast, she made us feel welcome and provided a lot of information on the area and city history.
This is certainly worth a try — do something authentic — highly recommended!

My wife and I stayed here Labor Day night before we headed back home to Dallas. This place was great. It was very well taken cared of and had all the modern amenities you would look for in a hotel but with an old town rustic feel. The staff was great and helpful. Breakfast was very good and was flexible. It was not a very big breakfast but the chef did an amazing job with her creation. I would definitely stay here again.

We spent a night in the Lodge behind the old house. It was lovely. The room was fresh and comfortable, there were gluten free homemade chocolate chip cookies waiting for us. The house staff, especially Cassie, was charming and the food was beautiful, plentiful and healthful without being boring.

The house and grounds are both lovely, and my husband and I enjoyed being able to walk around the neighborhood and into old downtown.
Alas, I understand that it’s a very old house, but dear lord is it ever creaky and squeaky! Don’t plan on sleeping well if anyone comes in late, or makes use of the ground floor amenities at night.
My major complaint however was the breakfast… or lack of breakfast. Upon checking in we were told that the only time still available for breakfast was 8am.
8am? I’m vacationing people. There is no way I want to be out of bed, dressed, and facing others that early on a Sunday morning. When we told the staff that time wouldn’t work for us we were more or less given the brush off. No offer of having breakfast in our room, or of taking something to go. When we checked out the following morning we still weren’t offered so much as a cup of coffee, (despite mentioning our pending desire to be fed) and had to make do with sniffing longingly at the aromas wafting out of the dinning room while waited for our bill.
On a positive note, I was able to raid the bowl of M&Ms while our grumbling bellies carried us out of the door.

My husband and I stayed at the Edwards House for our wedding weekend and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. The room was beautiful. The staff was incredible. The breakfast were so yummy. I am gluten free and dairy free and each morning I had a personalized meal tailored to my needs.
During our whirlwind weekend of fun, family and celebrations, the Edwards House was a peaceful sanctuary we could retreat to spend time alone. We have already decided we will be back in the future to celebrate our anniversary! :)

The stellar reviews set my expectations high. In the end, they were not wholly met. Here’s my breakdown…
ACCOMMODATIONS
We stayed in the Inn itself, though there are also rooms in the Lodge, in a separate building in back. Some of the rooms have a hall bathroom, but we opted for one with an in-​room facility (as did our inlaws). Our room, Sherwood, faces the front, with lots of windows and a skylight. The facility is dated (but not in a cozy B&B way)… think: worn-​down green carpet. The furnishings were antique, and added interest. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was small, but clean. I applaud them for taking a chance on colored towels (as opposed to crunchy bleached-​white ones you get everywhere else). They should add cotton balls and q-​tips to the amenities. We did not use the whirlpool bathtub; it’s a standard size. There are two main common areas; both on the small side. The library has a huge selection of VHS (but not every room has a VCR). They only had 2 board games, and cards, on hand. Central heat/​air is used, and the first two nights we spent there were incredibly hot (despite it being early winter!). Cracking a window solved the problem, but resulted in street noise. There was a fireplace in our room, but we didn’t need it!
The location is the best thing about Edwards House. You can walk to downtown or campus in just a few blocks. You will hear the train, at all hours; but I think that’s just unavoidable in FoCo.
DINING
I was mostly in awe that the baked goods offered in the common area did not change daily (as I’m accustomed to seeing at other Inns). Sure, we were there over a holiday; but by Day 3, the sad, stale few cookies left in the display should have been tossed (if not replaced). Despite being there for 5 nights, the desserts on offer remained the same. The breakfasts varied. We were served pancakes twice; once, corn; the other buttermilk blueberry. A terribly overcooked and underseasoned frittata. An eggs benedict with asparagus (that I enjoyed until I found a hair sandwiched in between the egg and muffin). And a bagged lunch the morning we ran a race, filled with housemade granola, pastries, and some healthy bagged snacks. In addition to the main courses served, the table was always full of a bread basket of some sort (banana bread and the maple donuts, being our faves), yogurt, and typically a hot dish (a cobbler, a casserole, or cinnamon rolls, for example). You will not go hungry with these breakfasts — there’s something to suit everyone, and plenty of it! Most days, we were not even hungry by the time lunch rolled around. There’s also cereal on offer all day. A selection of teas, ciders, etc, in addition to an espresso machine and port wine. If you are hankering for soda or water, you have to visit the Honor Bar, which charges a list price for items. They should really add a water cooler or pitcher to the dining area, so you don’t have to pay $ 1 for hydration.
The dining room is set for 6, and breakfast is communal at this particular B&B. They do offer multiple seating times, which you make in advance each day; we didn’t have any trouble getting the times we requested.
INN-​KEEPERS
Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and helpful in showing us around/​telling us what was being served. Luke fired up the pellet-​fueled fireplace for us, when we were gathering with family in the parlor. They are a young, enthusiastic crew. Relatives told us the Inn is recently under new management. So perhaps they’re still finding their stride. But for the price you’re paying ($ 150/​night), bottom line: They need to step it up.

This B&B is absolutely awesome! It may be on the pricier side, but you get an awesome room in a great house and a phenomenal breakfast! It’s also walking distance from Old Town of Fort Collins.
My fiancée and I stayed in the Lady Moon Room and found it to be clean, comfortable, and quaint. The room included a bathtub and a shower, a fireplace, TV with VCR (yes, VCR) and an elevated queen sized bed. The book above the fireplace were travelers can write about their stays was a nice touch and made for some fun reading.
In the morning, Kassie (I believe that was her name), made us an incredibly delicious breakfast. It consisted of two small egg sandwiches on croissants with tomato, mozzarella, basil and mushroom. The blueberry cobbler was insane! Also included were muffins and the best raisin bread I’ve ever had. The breakfast was topped off with a delicious fruit smoothie.
This is definitely the best bed and breakfast I have ever been to. Next time I come to Fort Collins I’ll be sure to stay at the Edwards House again.

First time in Fort Collins and was driving throughout Colorado for the week. This was the best place we stayed all week. We were in the Meldrum room. Great Size room & bathroom. Very comfortable bed. Very quiet area (of course you can hear the train but we are sound sleepers so it never bothered us). The breakfast each morning was delicious! And the staff was super nice as well. They had some champagne, chocolate, & nuts laid out for us for our anniversary. Perfect touch! Everything was in walking distance — restaurants, bars, breweries, and shopping. Can’t wait to return!!! Thank-​you Edwards House!!!

what a fantastic place. my family stayed here for my brother’s graduation and we couldn’t have picked better accommodations. the staff was friendly, engaging and helpful; the breakfast was amaaazing (the whole wheat-​oatmeal pancakes were delicious); and they even have free passes to a gym down the road. not to mention the location in downtown fort collins was perfect. thanks to jeff and rachel for a fantastic visit — we’ll definitely be back.

This was our hotel splurge for our honeymoon, and the perfect honeymoon spot.
The place is absolutely beautiful. We were greeted by an inkeeper and given a tour of the house. There’s a VHS library (ha ha), book library, cookies by the free-​internet-​use computer, and brandy in the library. Our room at a jacuzzi bathtub. It was too small for my husband, but most things are (when you’re over 6 foot tall). Still a nice touch. Our room was comfy and beautiful. It’s a doable walk to downtown Fort Collins.
Breakfast the next morning was amazing. Fresh fruits, coffee, tea, juice. Our inkeeper made bacon and homemade corn pancakes. YUUM! Syrup and butter were out there, but she recommended trying them with salsa and sour cream. YUUUUUM!
From the porch, we got to watch the «Tour de Fat» bike parade go by.
It’s a beautiful, romantic B & B.

Our Edward House experience was excellent! We are a young couple about 30 to put this into perspective.
We arrived late on a Friday night 11:00pm after a concert. We entered our door code that was sent to us via email and followed the detailed instructions on how to get to our room. We felt like we had to tip toe around, it was very quiet. Automatic lights turned on as we entered each room. There were envelopes laid out with breakfast instructions to fill out and our room key. We did a little exploring of the main floor and found a large bowl of M&M’s in the reading and movie room along with a decanter of Brandy.
A snack and drink area was stocked with sodas, snacks and beer for a small honorary charge. The floor boards squeaked as we walked up the stair and down the hallway. Our room was wonderful, very warm and home like.
For breakfast we had a choice to eat on the wrap around outside porch or inside in the beautiful dining room. Coffee, teas, breads and fruits looked so beautiful. We ate inside and had a wonderful conversation and meal with another couple.
This B&B is located blocks from the hoppin’ and bobbin’ shopping and restaurant district of Fort Collins. Such a wonderful experience.
