Great Stay
The location was just as promised. The view on the deck is beautiful and the apartment was clean and well stocked with anything you might need. The location is also walking distance to various shops, pizza, restaurants and bars. The river walk across the street is also great if you want to take a stroll. Carol was also great to work with. We’ll be back.

A home away from home
What a gem! I felt like I moved into a new place to live even though I was only on a business trip for a few days. Great communication, great area. Nice short walk to the river front walk. I'll be back if I'm in the area again for business or pleasure. Thank you, Carol!

Hope to Return Soon!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at “When Pigs Fly”. 😊The place was more than immaculate, very tastefully decorated along with a wonderful view of the Farmington River. We plan on returning when visiting family again.

If I Could Give This Property 10 Stars, I Would
This is without a doubt the nicest rental property that I have stayed at. First of all, it was newly constructed and was pristine. Everything was top notch and high quality. The bathroom was so well done with beautiful tile, wooden floors throughout the rest of the apartment, the high quality kitchen cabinets and the very very comfortable bed. In addition, it was absolutely spotless! It provided us with everything that we needed. The location was perfect for us because we have family close by and in Boston. It was located in downtown Collinsville, so you can easily access the quaint stores, the restaurants, the walking/biking trail and the canoe/kayak rental place. The airport is an easy ride away as are the major highways. You can rest assured that this apartment looks exactly as it is portrayed in the pictures on the Vrbo website. It's actually better in person as there is a calming comfortable feeling as soon as you walk in the door. Carol, the owner was quick to respond when I had a question. If I could, I would rent it for the entire Summer! So, come for yourself to experience what I'm taking about. Bring a couple of bottles of wine and sit on the deck overlooking the river Trust me, you won't regret it if you decide to stay here.

Awesome property with a great view and access
We loved our stay at "When Pigs Fly"! We have family nearby, so will most definitely come back. Access to the Farmington Trail for running and walking was fabulous, in addition to the beautiful and peaceful deck view of the river.

Thank you so much for making my big day comfortable and relaxing!
