We had a great 3-night stay. The house offered great river views and was walkable to two restaurants that we really enjoyed. House is walkable to a company where kayaks, canoes, and bikes can be rented. Communication with host was great. Would stay here again when in the area.

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.
