This 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath house was recently renovated with new kitchen, bath, gleaming hardwood floors, brick patio for river-gazing.
First floor consists of a large living room with expansive windows overlooking the river, fully stocked bookshelves (relax and read on the window seat!), game table for chess/checkers/board games; 55" TV for rainy days; Relaxing den with coffee/tea bar and wine hutch; Eat-in kitchen fully applianced including dishwasher; Half bath with washer/dryer.

We also offer a Pack n Play for little ones, and an inflatable mattress.

Convenient to all the local private schools. What a place to stay while you visit your student at Ethel Walker, Westminster, Avon Old Farms, or Miss Porters!

The house was used for filming of the movie "Christmas on the Carousel" released in 2021!

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.

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.

The house is immaculate and very tastefully decorated! The host was available for any question, although we had very few! The river view is spectacular, and will be even better with fall colors! The town of Collinsville is charming -- Don't miss the farmer's market on Sundays, and coffee at Lasalle! We loved our stay!

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,

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.

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!

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!

Charming

We enjoyed our stay at this house—we were only there briefly, but took a lovely walk along the river and grabbed a couple good meals from the host’s recommended restaurants. Carol was very responsive when we had a last minute problem with our schedule. The house was perfectly clean, well-stocked, and charming. We would rent it again if we were back in the area. All in all, a very nice stay!
