We were in town for several days for a family wedding. This space was a lovely retreat to return to at the end of busy days, and in easy reach of a variety of food options. The house was impeccable and had everything we could have need. The view of the bend in the river is especially dramatic.

Thanksgiving in Collinsville

WONDERFUL cottage-like home in a perfect location....amazing river views, and plenty of walking trails abound. Being able to walk to the small, "New England" town center was a huge bonus, and the food/atmosphere in the local restaurants was excellent. We would certainly stay here again - thank you Carol, for being a fantastic host - the house was ready early, spotless, and again, had plenty to offer!

Our stay came after an 18" snowfall and near 0F cold in historic Collinsville, so we were concerned about our late arrival, parking, safe walkways and a warm home. What we found were shovelled and treated walkways, a freshly plowed parking space, lights and heat on and a lovely home on the banks of the frozen Farmington River. Coming from Texas, we couldn't have asked for a warmer welcome to Connecticut.Carol's 1860 home is nicely furnished and spotless. Crisp bed linens and oversized fluffy towels were a welcomed comfort. All amenities were just as described on her VRBO site, and communication was concise and helpful. Our biggest disappointment was such a brief two-night visit and more conviviality at the Crown & Hammer Pub down the street.

Collinsville cottage

We enjoyed our stay at Carol's home by the river. The home was clean and thoughtfully furnished for comfort. Collinsville is delightful. The only drawback for us was the noise from the road because we prefer open wiindows. Despite that we would still choose this home again if we are in the area.
