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

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?
