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.

Cute as a button

Great location, really cute cozy home. Weather was not cooperative but Carol’s home was well stocked with books and board games. A marathon Monopoly game while watching the rainfall was restful and relaxing. Unfortunately our stay was cut short but we hope to return!

Beautiful home in a quiet corner of CT

We had an extended stay here in the heart of the Fall season. The leaves were spectacular. There were lots of lovely spots to walk to in Collinsville and we enjoyed some of the other things that they wider region had to offer, as well. The house is spectacular. Beautifully open air with lots of wonderful windows overlooking the Farmington River. Several window seats which were perfect for sitting (& napping). The living room had a game table which was perfect for cards and board games. The beds were comfy. The kitchen was well appointed enough for our needs. The property manager was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. It was a delightful experience all around!

Beautiful Collinsville Home

This beautiful home was perfect for our family of four. The views from the living room are amazing. We were so lucky to see such amazing fall colors. I enjoyed drinking my coffee on the patio. The girls enjoyed the games that the host had. Carol our host was very responsive and even reached out about a Squishmellow that had been left behind,

River view and cozy stay

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.

Exceeded expectations

We reserved this beautiful home for a girl’s getaway weekend and it was perfect. The house is very well appointed and super clean. I am particular about cleanliness and it exceeded my expectations. Our highlights were going kayaking, playing games around the game table, snacks and meals on the patio while enjoying the breeze and beautiful lake view, and shopping in town. Everything we needed was a short walk away; we didn’t get back in the car until check out. Wonderful getaway location!

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!

Relaxing Getaway

Wonderful spot in quaint Collinsville where you can kayak, shop the farmer's market on Sunday, or walk the beautiful walking/biking trails. This is a home away from home. The owner, Carol, is helpful and available should you need assistance. I plan on a return visit next year.
