Whether you grab a book to read in front of the fireplace or take a little stroll in the surrounding woods, we're sure you won't find a more peaceful place to spend your time.

The house has been updated for bed sizes. Downstairs is a king size bed in the bedroom and a queen size sleeper at the back of the dining area. Upstairs is a bedroom with a king a bedroom with a queen a bedroom with 2 full size beds and a small bedroom with a pair of bunk beds (You have to walk through the bunk bed room to get to the 2 double bed room) that are pretty comfy actually. So that makes 5 bedrooms and a Luxury sleeper downstairs.

Great place to stay

This is our second time staying at the Manor House. It was every bit as good as the first stay. The house is roomy, lots of space for all of us to sit around and chat, and a big table for card games. The kitchen has every pot, pan, bowl, plate, glass, etc. you could ever need. The house is in a very quiet wooded area yet not too far from shopping, restaurants, etc. We'll be back.

Family loved Manor home

Out of town family noticed how clean home was! Host,Doug, went above and beyond to help with VRBO computer clitch. I was able to bring food and drink early and lights were left on for early arrival. Beautiful private wooded property.

Surprising Gem in Central Illinois

This house was the perfect location for our family to stay when we came back to town for a family funeral. The house was so cute and comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit and nature around us as well. There were plenty of beds for everyone. I would highly recommend this property for a quiet getaway.

Family Holiday Get-Away

The property was very nice and the home very comforable. The kitchen was well stocked but quite small for a large group. Two full and one half baths were not great for ten people. Family had a great time being together.

Practically perfect in every way!

Beautiful, charming, handcrafted woodwork and cabinetry throughout gave it an English cottage feel. Perfect for the wooded surroundings, nestled on a hillside. Quaint, enchanting and very unique. Also cozy, and homey and lots of room. A very special place.

Disc Golf Getaway

This beautiful home was perfect for our group who traveled to the area for a large disc golf vacation. The home is large enough to give everyone their own private space, yet it has many great community spaces for spending time together. This clean, well maintained manor is perfect for any group.

Great accommodations

Great place to stay. The Manor House was located in a private setting in the woods on a secluded road on top a scenic hilltop along the Illinois river valley. Checking in was easy and accommodating. The Manor House was stocked with everything you will need for your stay. The decor was unique and well kept. The house was clean in every aspect. By far the best place we have stayed in the Peoria area to date. I hope to stay at The Manor House next year.

Lovely

Beautiful accommodations and location in the woods. Sitting on the porch and listening to the birds in the morning was an added perk. We heard vireos, robins, wrens, sparrows, woodpeckers and many more. The house had everything we needed for a great weekend.

Poor communication by Host

I wanted to share my feedback on our recent rental experience. While the location was convenient, several aspects significantly impacted the overall quality of our stay.The cleanliness of the property was below expectations, and we encountered a considerable number of insects. The kitchen was also smaller than anticipated and lacked essential equipment, which presented some challenges.Furthermore, communication with the host was unfortunately poor. Despite sending several messages, we did not receive a response for an extended period, which hindered our ability to address these issues during our stay.I hope this feedback is helpful.

Beautiful, Relaxing home

My husband, myself and my mother-in-law stayed here with our adult children and spouses (9 of us) for my daughter's wedding weekend. It was delightful and a perfect setting to relax when we had a little down time. The home is gorgeous and has so much space. The host was great and very easy to contact. We would recommend it to anyone who is staying in the Peoria area! Thanks for opening your amazing home to us!

Fun family time

We had a great stay! The space was perfect for our family of 10. We liked having the main floor bed room for grandparents and a nice large dining space for Thanksgiving. The kitchen is small but still workable. We liked having the extra refrigerator in the garage so we could bring all the food we needed for our long weekend. The living room and lots of places to sit and a working gas fireplace. We really liked the touch of the Christmas tree with decorations and lights to add a festive touch. We had plenty of dishes and serving things to work it all out. Thank you Doug!

This is our third year celebrating Christmas at the Manor House. Once again the house was perfect for our family of 12. Thank you, Doug. The weather outside was frightful but the house was delightful. I would definitely recommend staying at the Manor House.

Family Stay for Wedding

We came in from three different states to have family time and to attend a wedding! Since we live in three states, it was awesome to have a quiet, home to stay in!! I wish the decks had been swept, but the home was beautiful!! For a family of 10 and a 8 month old, it was a perfect gathering spot!! Other family came for a brunch before the wedding and we hosted 18 people easily!!! The hosts were so easy to work with and communicate with!!! We would stay here again!!!

Girls Cousin Reunion

This house was great for our girls cousin reunion. The house was very well equipped with kitchen supplies, towels, bedding, paper products etc. The number of bedrooms was great for our group of 12 ladies. It was a rainy weekend so we didn’t get to walk around the property or enjoy the fire pit, but it looked nice. We had a very enjoyable weekend!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
A life long Peorian, I've been involved in the housing business as long as I can remember. The Manor House is a result of my parents lifelong obsession with creating comfortable yet elegant homes. The entire home was built by family members and we are happy to keep it alive by sharing it with other families. We get so many positive comments about peoples time here. We hope you make great memories here as well!

Why they chose this property

The house is located on a private road with only a few houses scattered on the hill. It's very important that we all respect the neighbors privacy and please remain near or on the property whenever possible. Loud music and erratic behavior won't be tolerated. My neighbors participate in keeping the house safe and enjoyable and will not hesitate to call authorities if they feel things are getting out of hand.
The farm across the road is private property as well. The owners prefer that you don't visit with the animals on their property.
