Gracious and generous hosts!

We spent a long weekend visiting with old friends and needed a quiet place with space for our new puppy. This house was ideal! Joe and Carol could not have been more helpful or caring! Their constant communication allowed us to have a minor problem fully resolved on the same day! Beautiful views and fabulous hosts! Just what we needed!

Relaxing stay in Peoria!

Carol and Joe are so attentive and communicative. You can tell they truly love sharing their home with you. The deck out front overlooking the river is the perfect place to hang out and visit. We also enjoyed having a campfire in the back. It was all set up and easy to get going. The home was clean and the kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, glasses, etc., even coffee. We stayed during a cicada event. It was fun watching all the bird action. If we ever return to Peoria, we will definitely stay here!

Perfect Location/Beautiful Views

We stayed here this past weekend for my daughter's softball tournament. The location was perfect! We had great restaurants within a 5 minute drive and the softball complex was an easy 15-20 minute drive. It was nice to wake up and have coffee on the front deck overlooking the river. If we're playing in town again this season, we'll definitely be checking to see if this location is available!

Fine View in Peoria

We stayed over Thanksgiving with local family. The house gave us out-of-towners a great respite, though local enough to join in when we were ready. The house is fine and comfy. The only challenge is the driveway. Once mastered, it was kind of fun!

Nice property

House was extremely clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the view and watching the barges on the river. Owner was very responsive and welcoming. The only negative was the steepness of the driveway, and the street being busy at certain times of the day. It made it challenging to drive in and out of the property.

Girl's Trip

Our group of 5 ladies truly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. The sunrises from the deck and living room window were breathtaking. We also enjoyed watching the barges, and using the firepit. Joe and Carol answered our questions promptly and even provided a larger folding table for our eating and game playing needs along with a board that we used on the living room table to do puzzles on. They were perfect Hosts! As mentioned in other Reviews the driveway and entrance to the road is a bit challenging, but it helped to arrive in the daylight. Our driver handled it fine with her pickup truck and it was well worth the beautiful views we had from the hilltop. The location was convenient to the Peoria Zoo and Luthy Botanical Garden which we visited. We highly recommend this lovely cottage!
