About the host

Host profile image
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
