About the host

Host profile image
Hi my husband and I are locals to the Peoria area. We have been together for over 20 years, have 2 adult children & both have owned our own businesses for almost 20 years. We have traveled for fun, for business & all over for our kids sports- in campers, hotels, motels, resorts, five star, budget friendly, on a plane, in a car, on a ship & have learned a few things. Nothing is better than a great space to spend time with loved ones, get a great nights sleep, waking up to a beautiful setting with a great cup of coffee! (Or tea) So we hope our place is that for you!

Why they chose this property

The 900sf home has recently had a makeover. Cozy home to enjoy family time making dinners, hanging out on the porch, resting in the sun on the back deck, footsteps from the water.

What makes this property unique

Includes a boat ramp for small boats or kayaks and the water is shallow so many wildlife call it home as well.
