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!

About the host

Hosted by Carol York

I've lived in Canton/Collinsville for 40 years. I enjoy gardening and home decorating, so I very much enjoy offering this home to guests so they, too, can enjoy all that Collinsville has to offer.
I live right nearby so I'm close enough to be here if you need me, but I won't get in your way.

Why they chose this property

Once you see the view and the proximity to everything "Collinsville" you'll know why you should come for a stay. And of course the views!!! Whether you're a walker, runner, biker, kayaker, or just enjoy sitting and reading a book while enjoying the view, this is the house for you! Check out the bald eagles, blue heron, ducks and geese galore (binoculars and birding book provided). Done with your activities? Stroll downtown to the shops, restaurants, and seasonal concerts and farmer's market on Sundays. You'll love it all.
Close to all the private schools for family visits - Ethel Walker, Miss Porters, Westminster, Avon Old Farms, Kingswood Oxford.

What makes this property unique

Combine an adorable house, with the best view in town, with just steps to charming downtown Collinsville and you've got the best place possible to rent in this area!
