The Collins House Inn

We had a wonderful stay at The Collins House. The owners are wonderful people, the inn is fantastic.

This B&B is the complete package: hosts that aim to please; meticulously appointed rooms reminiscent of days gone by, greeted and treated like we were the only guests in the house. For those seeking that extra special B&B experience, you won't be disappointed in The Collins House Inn.

Sheila and Dave were delightful hosts. They catered to our every need and made us feel very welcome. The town was charming and it was nice to walk around visiting the local shops. We would definately like to stay there should we travel to the area again.

Dave and Sheila exude hospitality! Always a cozy and comfortable stay in this totally remodeled, charming home, in a great locale!! You will not be disappointed!

We traveled to Marion, Virginia for a friend's wedding. The town is small and has a lot of southern charm. The Collins House Inn also has a lot of southern charm, but the proprietors, Dave and Sheila, combine their southern hospitality with an attention to detail you would expect from a five star hotel in New York or Los Angeles. The website pictures do not do the Collins House justice. It is a beautiful old home that was lovingly restored. Every room was immaculate. Beautifully decorated and also spotlessly clean, with not a speck of dust to be found. Dave and Sheila are also fantastic hosts, and full of information about the surrounding area, from things to do to restaurants. The room had excellent wiireless connectivity (a must as I needed to do some work from the room) and the bed, a king, was spacious and comfortable. Each room had a separate thermostat, and our stay was quiet and peaceful. Additionally, the inn is eco-friendly, with recycling and energy saving light fixtures in the rooms. The breakfast was gourmet comfort food. Our first morning was quiche with dill and bacon, fresh fruit, a blueberry muffin, and sausage grits. The second morning was a blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast with bacon and fresh fruit. Sheila was also careful to ask about our dietary preferences. Be forewarned if this is your first visit to a B&B, The Collins House may spoil you, and other B&Bs may never live up to the high standard set by Dave and Sheila!

The Collins House Inn is top-rate in every regard. Whether you are staying for a one-night stopover or a four-night vacation (as we did), you won't find a cleaner, more well-maintained, or more beautiful inn than this one. Every detail has been considered. A gourmet breakfast, comfortable beds, gorgeous sitting rooms, earth-friendly construction and up-keep, gracious hosts--this inn has it all. What a grand "home base" for enjoying the beauty of southwest Virginia!

Innkeepers were very welcoming and kind. Breakfast was excellent.

The Collins House Inn is a wonderful B&B. Dave and Sheila provide outstanding service and hospitality. The Inn is incredibly relaxing in the beautiful town of Marion, Va. It's a true get-away!

This was our first B&B experience and we chose wisely. Dave and Sheila are a class act with a beautiful inn, outstanding breakfasts and service that makes their guests feel like they are in their own home. My wife has relatives and friends in Marion that could provide lodging but the Collins House will be our choice for future visits to Southwest Virginia. The Lady bedroom is a lovely asset. Jim and Sandee

This was our first B&B experience and it could not have been more perfect. The inkeepers were so friendly and informative about the area and places to visit. Our room was beautiful, clean and the bed and linens were of the highest quality, we slept like babies. Breakfast was delicious. No doubt, we will visit The Collins House Inn again and plan to recommend it to anyone who will be near the area.

Collins House Inn is an extraordinary bed and breakfast inn. The rooms are exceptionally clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere is extremely cozy. We have stayed at this inn for 3 consecutive summers, spending 2 to 3 days each time. We have never been disappointed in any of the accommodations or service. The owners, Sheila and Dave, always make their guests feel special and pampered. The breakfasts that Sheila and Dave cook are varied and extremely delicious; they also will amend their menus to consider dietary restrictions. We have never stayed anywhere that we could give a 5-star rating except at Collins House Inn.

The Collins House is a beautiful and welcoming home away from home. Sheila and Dave are so friendly and thorough in all of their prepartions. Breakfast is heavenly!! The town is quaint and sweet, with restaurants within walking distance. You won't regret your decision to stay at the The Collins House!! Y'all come now! :)

If you have an overnight stop anywhere within 50 miles of Marion, do yourself a favor and stay at Collins House Inn. The comfort is first rate, the breakfast wonderful, the surroundings . . . gosh, what can I say about the surroundings? Sheila and Dave have done an incredible job renovating and decorating the house. You won't find accommodations of this quality at this price anywhere else in the country. Stay there, enjoy. We certainly did. Jim and Debbie Brown, Aiken, SC

Enthusiastic innkeepers, spotless rooms, accomodating service. Many thanks...

I recently experienced my third visit at The Collins House Inn and I have to say that it was just as pleasant, relaxing, and enjoyable as my previous visits. BTW, I tried to leave a review after my second visit, but unfortunately bedandbreakfast.com would not allow it -- something about since it was in the same year as my first review. Oh well. Anyway, what has proven to be the case at The Collins House Inn is the consistency in the services and atmosphere created and delivered. Dave and Sheila are wonderful innkeepers and have always made me feel special at very much at home. The inn continues to be impeccably clean, always warm and inviting, and the breakfasts delicious and filling (VERY filling actually). I feel very fortunate to have found such a wonderful retreat for my travels through Virginia.

I'm one of those people who have a difficult time truly relaxing. When I stopped at The Collins House Inn, I was nervous about traveling alone for the first time ever. I now consider Sheila and Dave two of my guardian angels whose path crossed my life where I needed comfort and company. They went above and beyond any expectations I ever had as they genuinely welcomed me into their home. I truly appreciate their company, their generosity and their comfort, and I very much look forward to seeing them again someday. I was amazed at how I was able to completely relax during my stay. Anyone traveling in the area of I-81 really does need to stop here. End of story!

We were in Marion recently for a performance of “Song of the Mountains” at The Lincoln Theatre. Sheila and Dave are very gracious hosts and made the visit a very pleasant stay from the moment we were greeted until we departed. Shelia made an excellent recommendation for dinner before the show. Dave has been instrumental in the restoration of many of the buildings in downtown Marion and offered an unexpected behind the scenes tour of many of the sites. Be sure to check out Dave’s woodworking skills at the Inn and throughout downtown Marion. As a former airline employee I have traveled extensively and The Collins House Inn far exceeds any “multi-star” hotel or resort. If you are looking for peace, quiet, relaxation, a delicious breakfast and interesting conversation then bypass the hotel scene and stay with Sheila and Dave. We are looking forward to our next visit. Gary and Peggy

After staying in a cabin in North Carolina that was not up to our expectations, our stay at the Collins House Inn was just what we needed. Peace, quiet, so clean and beautifully decorated. The waffles that Sheila prepared for our breakfast were wonderful. We truly enjoyed our overnight stay and hope we can return in the future.

"Come again" is business talk for "I hope to do business with you again.". Our stay this past weekend was relaxing and much needed. The fact that it rained and we stayed in all day reading, was made more enjoyable because of the spacious rooms and the clean surroundings. We plan to return and look forward to another exceptional experience.

I was traveling through VA with my sister and two friends. We had the incredible pleasure of staying at the Collins House Inn. Tired and hot from hours in the car, we were greeted at the door by Sheila and Dave with smiles and handshakes. When we left, we gave Sheila and Dave a hugs. They were warm and welcoming and truly made us feel as though we were good friends staying at their home. The experience was wonderful!!! The Collins House Inn was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated !!! Don't miss this place. Thank you Sheila and Dave!!! Lydia Pizzute

My wife and I together with 2 friends recently stayed at the Collins House Inn and had a wonderful time. Dave and Sheila are a very welcoming couple from the time they first open the door to when you leave. You just have to stay here! George and Jean

Kudos to Shelia Quattrocchi and Dave Fields. This talanted couple took an abandoned house and turned into a beautiful B & B. They did all the work themselves;carpentry, h/ac/v, painting, millwork, glazing, everything. It took them five years. Be sure and look at the scrapbook. It has five guest rooms, well appointed and comfortable. their hospitality is unsurpassed. We thought we were staying with family instead of innkeepers. The gourmet breakfasts are to die for. If you are in Madison, stay with them. You'll be glad you did.

The Collins House provided the perfect place for our family to stay during our son's wedding weekend. It was a delightful and comfortable home away from home where we could gather, relax and eat the fabulous breakfasts together. We enjoyed warm hospitality and service as well as the spectacular food. Thank you, Sheila and Dave!

My wife and I had a wonderful evening at The Collins House Inn in Marion, VA. The B&B was relaxing, VERY clean, spacious, and inviting. Our room had every amenity we could have hoped for -- and the bed was SUPER comfortable! The breakfast was awesome and beautifully presented - my wife even had to take a picture -- and The innkeepers, Dave and Sheila, were very gracious and accommodating and made us feel very much at home. Many thanks for a wonderful stay!

Simply the best B&B ever! Every inch of the Collins House Inn is a work of love and dedication from the owners, David and Sheila. Not a single detail is overlooked. Five Star hotels should take a lesson from David and Shelia. Only complaint is we could not stay longer!

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful bed and breakfast inn. We've stayed at many bed and breakfasts, both in the U.S. and abroad, and The Collins House Inn has turned out to be one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. We were returning to northern VA, and had decided that Marion would be a good overnight stop. A search on Google led us to their website, and after reading many nice reviews, we felt confident that it would be a nice place. When I called to make our reservation, I found myself talking with Sheila, one of the owners/innkeepers, as if I had known her for years. I already felt at home there! She was very knowledgeable about the area, was able to recommend several nice restaurants, and even made our dinner reservations for us to save us the trouble of doing so. When we arrived, the atmosphere was exactly the way it is described on their web site -- elegant, but in a relaxed and casual way. Maybe it was the colors, I don't know, but I know we felt relaxed and welcomed the minute we walked in the door. Also, I'm quite picky about places we stay and want them to be clean. I'm one of those people who will look in very strange places to see if a place is "deep down" clean -- and this place is immaculate! We ate dinner at the Black Rooster which was an excellent choice. We got a wonderful night's sleep - the beds are seriously comfortable! Then there was breakfast - WOW! Delicious food, plenty of it, beautiful presentation, and just a very nice and relaxing, pressure-free (as Dave likes to refer to how they run their B&B) meal. It is very obvious that Dave and Sheila work extremely well together and it is shows in the seamless orchestration of taking care of their guests - from check-in to check-out. Both of them are very warm and friendly and have a way of making you feel very much at home. I sincerely hope that we will have an opportunity in the future to stay with Dave and Sheila again.

My husband and I recently stayed at The Collins House Inn, for the second time, and had as wonderful of a time as we did on our first visit. What a gem! Dave and Sheila are just as gracious and accommodating as before. On this visit, we also got to attend a performance at The Lincoln Theatre that was fantastic! In addition to the theatre being absolutely beautiful, we once again had a nice choice of very nice and relaxing restaurants from which to choose. Though The Collins House has only been open just over 2 years, it is still immaculately clean, warm, and relaxing (we got to enjoy the fireplace on this trip), and has all of the amenities anyone could wish for. Breakfast, once again, was outstanding! Dave and Sheila are very good at making their guests feel at home, comfortable, and very welcomed. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Collins House, unfortunately it was for ONLY ONE NIGHT! Shiela & Dave have restored their inn with so much detail and love, and operate as the Inn's keepers straight from their hearts. We have been staying at Select Registry inns for 15 years, and the experience that The Collins House provides is among the very best we have ever had. A stay here is a must for anyone who appreciates a first rate B & B.

The inn has been lovingly restored by the talented and gracious innkeepers, Dave Fields and Sheila Quattrocchi. We spent three nights with them while attending the NASCAR races in Bristol. Knowing our plans, David had thoughtfully put together directions and a map to the track. Our room was beautiful, breakfast was amazing and Sheila and Dave were very helpfully giving us ideas for things to do in the area. We highly recommend you give yourself the gift of a stay the Collin's House Inn.

This was our first bed and breakfast stay. The minute we walked in the door it was a home not just a place to stay. Sheila and Dave were very attentive to our needs, and yet gave us plenty of space to do what we wanted to. The house was full yet they found time to add the personal touch. The rooms were spacious,neat yet cozy! You couldn't hear any noises within the house the towels in the bathroom felt like blankets. You could tell that Dave and Sheila really enjoy your company and worked really hard to make this a success. Great Job! Can't wait to return. Shelly Mallory, Ashland, VA

We stayed at the Collins House Inn for one night, as part of a larger trip. The room was comfortable and lovely, the bathroom had everything you could want (including Neutrogena products -- much appreciated for their lack of scent!), the breakfast was delicious, but these were all eclipsed by the hospitality of Sheila and Dave. They were so much more than simply innkeepers; by the time we left, we felt like we were saying goodbye to friends.

I've stayed in a fair number of B&B's, of all levels of service, and I've had a range of experiences, both high and low (once was downright creepy...think Psycho). The Collins house is firmly in the "high" of that range. Sheila and Dave were gracious and made us feel right at home. They've done a wonderful renovation to restore the house to its former glory, though at the same time it didn't feel stuffy...very relaxing. Great food, comfy beds, oh-so thick towels, all the modern amenities... They were also very accommodating with changes in our plans due to family emergencies. Definitely plan to stay again when I'm in the area.

Lovely inn and perfect hosts! We highly recommend staying at the Collins House Inn.

Our experience at the Collins House was a real treat. The Inn was immaculate. The beds were soooo comfortable you wanted to spend your vacation in 'them'. The food was so beautifully presented and was exquisit in taste. We are vegetarians. That was no problem for our host. Sheila and Dave accomodates you in every way possible. Sheila is so very friendly and goes above and beyond to please. Dave is a master carpenter. The proof is in the pudding. The restoration of all the wood work is astounding. If you pick the Collins House you won't be dissapointed.

I stayed the weekend and went to the Bristol Race. The innkeepers gave me directions the "back way" and I was able to get in and out quickly. The B&B was nicely done, the breakfasts were great and their hospitality was too. All in all a great weekend.

What a fantastic bed 7 breakfast experience. Shiela and Dave have exactly the personalities necessary to run a great bed & breakfast. We felt so welcomed. The restorations they have done are exceptional. The food was wonderful. All in all, one of the best B&B experiences we have ever had.

We just got back from a delightful weekend stay at the Collins House. Dave is an accomplished woodworker and every square inch of the house has been restored above board. The inn was within walking distance of everything we wanted to see. Sheila's belgian waffles were so good; we went shopping for a waffle maker on the way home. It was nice to stay in a b&b where the keepers and the inn compliment each other equally. Marion was a treat also.

I came to Marion, Va. on business and chose this B&B based on other positive reviews. I am so happy I chose to stay here! It's right in the downtown area of Marion, and the home has been lovingly restored. Not one detail has been overlooked. The inkeepers, Sheila and David are thoughtful, welcoming, and kind hosts. The breakfast was outstanding. I took a tour and all of the rooms were comfortable, well-decorated and well-appointed. My bed was so comfortable. I didn't want to leave. Thanks for a great stay. Highly recommended!

My husband and I had a chance to stay at the Collins House Inn and it was a superb weekend!!! The house has been restored and decorated with much love and hard work. I was amazed by all the woodwork details. The rooms were very cozy and comfortable!!! Sheila and Dave took very good care of us and made us feel right at home. The food was so very delicious and very nice presentation!! Once you visit you will want to go back many times!!!! The town is very lovely and quaint. We recommend you visiting the Collins House Inn!!!!

My wife and I spent a wonderful weekend at The Collins House Inn, that can best be described as exceptional. The Inn is outstanding,having been completely renovated. The Innkeepers Dave Fields and Shelia Quattrocchi saw to our every need. The breakfast is truely special. Marion is wonderful town with plenty to do. The Lincoln Theater has many concerts and there is some great trout fishing nearby. We highly recommend The Collins House Inn.

My husband and I have stayed at many B&Bs around the world. Who'd have thought that one of our favorites would be this lovely inn tucked among the hills of southwestern Virginia? The B&B has been beautifully restored to an elegance that is sophisticated and lovely but not intimidating. Our room--The Mary--was beautifully furnished. We had a sumptuous, exceptionally comfortable kingsized bed, a leafy view from the windows, a writing desk for my work, and a non-intrusive TV. Hosts Sheila and Dave are warm and welcoming, and went to great lengths to assure our comfort. In addition to the grand gestures--not the least of which were the delicious breakfasts--our hosts provided many thoughtful, small amenities, such as information on local resources, chilled bottles of water after our walks, and a sweet little packet of chocolates. Collins House Inn is a gem of a B&B. We hope to return there soon.

We had a very pleasant trip to Marion, topped off with our stay at this B&B. We've stayed at several B&B's, and this definitely ranks high on our list! The innkeepers are friendly and very accommodating - they catered to our meals with great detail (how we preferred our coffee/tea, vegetarian/non, juice preferences, the time we would like our breakfast). The rooms are immaculate and quite spacious, each with a private bathroom (all fully equipped with new full baths, luxuriously thick bath towels, and impressively clean). It is quite evident that they have paid close detail to restoring this home into an elegant B&B. (They even added the modern touch of having wireless internet and a desktop computer available for their guests to use)

Very comfortable, thoughtfully decorated. Exceptional dining. Highly recommended.

Beautiful Inn, wonderful hosts! You will not be disappointed. We will be back!

Our first ever B & B experience..The Collins House Inn sets the "bar" high..We plan a return visit next summer to once again enjoy the elegance of our room along with the welcoming, accomodating personalities of our hosts, AND..once again be pampered with our daily candlelit gourmet breakfast. Sheila and Dave truly do EVERYTHING they can to make your visit memorable and, even tho' they are "rookie hosts"...they could certainly teach some of the "old dog hosts" some new tricks..! --BW and CW

Our stay at the Collins Inn was out of this world. The Inn Keepers were warm, friendly, and willing to go above and beyond what anyone would expect to ensure we enjoyed our stay. The town of Marion is a wonderful experience not to be missed. Breakfast was better than what would be served at the best restaurant you could find. The facility was professionally decorated, recently renovated, and without comparison. I will most definitely be back and would encourage anyone who appreciates the finer things in life to stop in for a visit as well. You will not be disappointed.

Wonderful accomodations. The food was exquisite. The Inn was immaculate and well-appointed. The Inn Keepers are charming and gracious. We highly recommend the Collins House Inn.

We spent our honeymoon at the Collins House Inn and had a wonderful experience. Everything was perfect. The owners were so nice and so willing to meet our every need. We would go back there again and again. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a restful, relaxing get away.

Our welcome by Dave and Sheila was warm and homey, we got a tour of this beautiful home and were awed at all of the TLC that Day and Sheila personally put into it! The bed was luxurious, breakfast was delicious and it was the best place we've every stayed! Thank you!

Wonderful experience to stay at Collins House. Dave & Sheilla went out of their way for me. We will be back.

A quickly planned mountain get away included a stay at the Collins House B & B in Marion, Va. What a delightful experience. The beautifully restored and esquisitely decorated Collins House retained its old world charm but had all of the modern conveniences. The breakfast was 5 star. The Innkeepers were wonderful hosts and were very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. A truly delightful experience in every way.

Having stayed at several B&B's over the past few years, we can say this one is one of the best! The accommodations and breakfast were wonderful. The Inn Keepers were most hospitable. They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

I booked a room in The Collins Inn for three nights now knowing the area or anybody who had been there. My contacts with Sheila by phone and email raised my expectations. And they were more than met!! Sheila and Dave are just wonderful people and perfect hosts. They go out of their way to accomodate and help you. Breakfast is very good and more than one can eat. They renovated the house themselves. The result is a beautiful unique house with a lot of character, fits the owners.

We were so glad to have found this gem. We called for a room not knowing what we might find and we could not have been more pleased. Dave and Sheila have restored this home beautifully with all the details for comfort too. Breakfast in the morning was likewise a treat. We were refreshed!

Exceptionally new and clean B&B. Excellent food and hospitality.

Meticulous attention to detail. Relaxing, comfortable, friendly. A fantastic experience.

My stay at the Collins House Inn was excellent. It was my first Bed & Breakfast experience, and it won't be my last at Collins House. The owners are new to the area and the house opened only a few months ago, and as such, they are excited with their work and go the extra mile for their guests.

This was our first bed-and-breakfast stay, and we were sold! The innkeepers were warm and welcoming, and the inn was beautiful and clean. The town is very cute, and the hotel down the street has a surprisingly interesting and tasty dinner selection. And the most important parts: the bed was comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious!! We will definitely go back again.
