Family celebrating our son’s Med School graduation
We loved everything about our stay! The view was spectacular, we loved the huge front deck and the back yard. The place was very clean and homey, it was a perfect place for our needs.
It was a truly relaxing stay with a beautiful view along the Illinois river. Provided just what we needed after moving our son and daughter-in-law to Peoria.
This house sits on such a beautiful location overlooking the lake. Our hosts were very friendly and made sure everything went smoothly. When the heater didn't work, he came out personally, got it running again, and made sure it would work properly for the rest of our stay.
Nice house with excellent view, centrally located for the 4 dirt tracks we went to. Stores all around with quiet surroundings . Manager was very helpful.
My 4 sisters and I booked this place for a getaway and it served us well. The view is spectacular. It is a quiet area. Joe was a pleasure to deal with and responds quickly. We would book again.

From the owner: "Thank you, it was a pleasure meeting you and your sisters. We would love to have you back."
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!
Four of us traveled to Peoria for a girls weekend. Joe and Carol were great at communicating with us about the property, our booking, and suggestions of things to do and places to go. The views were beautiful and the house had everything we needed.

Gorgeous Views
We enjoyed our stay so much, we extended it. Beautiful home well supplied even for the furbabies. and clean. Good location and things are easy to get to. The views off the huge deck are awesome and I feel my spirit has been renewed. We will definitely be back.
We enjoyed everything about our stay. Clean, comfortable, thoughtfully equipped with everything. The information book is very useful. It even contains menus from several restaurants! The view is amazing!To watch the sunrises over the Illinois River made getting up early worth it!😊
We will definitely return.
Incredible morning sunrise of the Illinois River. Nice Hosts who are very hospitable. Fire pit for evening hot dog roast was terrific! Great family time!

The sunrise/sunset views off front porch were beautiful as well! Quiet area. Highly recommend! If we are in the area again, I would definitely stay here again.

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!
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!
