About this house rental
My goal here was to provide a great location and create a space that heightens every one of your creative senses when you stay. In this I strived for "New York BoHo high rise on the water. " I have used local artists for a creative cozy retreat. There is 1 large screen tv in the main area and 1 tv in the bedroom and 1 tv in lower level. We sleep 4 comfortably with 2 bedrooms but can sleep 6 if needed with sofa bed. Hot tub on the water fire pit, grill, kayaks, paddle boat…all you need for a great getaway. The hot tub is treated at every stay. The kitchen is fully supplied for all your cooking needs. Access to the water, 5 min from great restaurants and boutique shopping in Peoria Heights. Pet friendly for 1 small dog. Pets must be crated when at the house alone. It is fenced but no grass so they must be walked for relief. Not allowed on furniture. Only registered guests allowed on property. No parties. Quiet time 10pm to 8am. No tampering with security equipment Your request to book must include a message with information, especially if you have no reviews. Where are you coming from? Who will be staying? Have you used VRBO before? Etc. if there is no message, I will not accept.

My family of 4 and the puppies absolutely enjoyed the Labor Day weekend. The lake is literally 15-20 feet from the back of the house. The decor of the house is certainly bordering on maximalism, but really nothing feels out of place or excess. This is probably the first vacation where we enjoyed all of the available entertainment opportunities that were provided. We kayaked and strolled the beach, enjoyed the hotd-tub and fireplace at night. We will definitely look forward to coming back again if things work out that way.

This location is even better in person! We were looking for a relaxing stay while visiting my family and couldnt have chosen better. The entire house felt beautifully curiated and comfortable plus it was so much fun! We got to watch firework shows going across the entire river and enjoyed fishing and playing ping pong to pass the time. Cant wait to stay again!

This was a 2 night stay for my husband, myself, and our dog while our kids were out of town. We were looking for a relaxing trip along the water driving distance for us. This was a great find. They had kayaks, a paddle boat, a hot tub, and 2 levels of decks for enjoying the outside. The house was clean with a nice kitchen. They provided things like hand soaps, shampoo/conditioner, dishwasher tabs, dish soap, k cups, toilet paper and paper towels. Which I forget about often with rentals. All these things were very nice thoughtful touches! We found it extremely nice that we could bring our dog along too.
We spent most of the time relaxing at the property, but did enjoy dinner out in the Peoria Heights area one night.

The property was very clean and well kept. Was just small and somewhat crowded. It’s very close to road tracks and trains came through at 4:30 in the morning.

Great place to relax after a long day of volleyball games. Kids loved recovering in the hot tub and adults loved the view of the river, the creative and artistic decor, and super comfy beds. This would be a great place to visit in the warmer months as well. We also enjoyed dinner at a nearby restaurant called Thyme Kitchen and Craft Beer.

Owner very helpful! Looking forward to returning when we are in the area in the future!

I will be booking for next year 😀 👍 Kim was very reachable with any need which were none!

This is a great little house. The back deck overlooking the river is just what I needed at the end of the day. From the plants and flowers outside to the amazing decor inside, this is a great place to stay. If and when I'm back in the area I hope its available at that time because here is where I would stay

We had a great time visiting Peoria. The house was in a great location. We enjoyed spending time at the house while enjoying the water equipment, ping pong table and hot tub. Kim reached out several times making sure everything was ok and that we had everything we needed.

The house is cozy and you will find some new neat art piece each time you walk through a room. Treats and toiletries and plenty of cozy bedding and fluffy towels were provided. Everything inside was wonderful... But the real highlight was the back yard! We didn't end up having time for the paddle boat or kayaks but they would have been a blast without a doubt. We did take full advantage of the beautiful views, comfortable seating, amazing hot tub, and fire pit. Great parking for 2/3 cars, more than that gets tricky but is doable. No complaints about comfort from the guy who slept on the fold out couch bed, and my bed was so comfortable I might need to get a new one for home now. All around great stay, super accommodating hosts, beautiful getaway. You'll forget you are in Illinois.

This a nice house in the water. The entrance to the road a little steep so if you have a low riding car, it may be an issue but we have an suv so it was fine for us . The bedrooms are on separate levels which is nice for privacy. We loved that there was upper and lower deck. Owner was very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely stay again.

We had a girls’ weekend in Peoria for my sister’s 38th birthday celebration. This charming and eclectic lake home provided all the comfort, escape, and amenities we were hoping for. The hot tub was clean and easy to use. The instructions for the property were clear and accessible. The house is super clean, stocked, and conveniently located. We ended up spending more time in Peoria Heights (shops, restaurants, gorgeous parks/historic homes) than downtown.
Thank you so much for sharing your home! We had a wonderful time!

This was such a well planned, placed and designed house. It is right along the river where you can watch bald eagles land, or watch the barge go by in the winter and crackle all the ice as it pushes to shore. The hot tub on the upper deck gives you such a great view and if you wake up early enough sunrise is a beautiful scene! The hosts have all the right comforts in place for a really amazing stay.

Stayed overnight after visiting the frozen waterfalls at Starved Rock. Watching the sunrise over the frozen lake from the hot tub was the highlight of the stay. We enjoyed the eclectic decor and playing ping pong with the kids. We are planning to come back in warmer weather to try out the kayaks on the lake.

We planned to visit relatives in the QC. Since we got into Chicago late we wanted to stay at a place halfway, and we were lucky to find this rental. Super cozy house on the Illinois River had everything we needed. So enjoyed hearing the river sights and sounds from the hot tub! Next time we’ll stay longer.
5.0 / 5.0
Beautifully decorated, Exceptionally comfortable, more than equipped kitchen. We came to relax before the high stress of the holidays began & that’s exactly how our stay unfolded. I am sure this is full of activity & fun in the summer but it was perfect for a quiet winter get away as well.
Thanks to both of you for a great visit!

Nice quiet getaway! I could have sat in the hot tub all day watching barges go by. Owners have thought of EVERYTHING and are quick to respond if you have any questions.

This home was our sanctuary after a long conference and was a perfect choice for a place to relax.
The river was calming, and the view was beautiful. The home was eclectic and comfortable. We had three nights of fantastic sleep thanks to the hot tub and the most comfortable bed.
We have friends and family here and plan on coming back again!

My daughter and I attended my granddaughter's softball tournament in Peoria. What a perfect place for family members to come and go.
Our check in process was effortless (best keyless entry ever!) with Kim checking to be sure out needs were meet. Number 1 on my list was the deck and the absolutely perfect Illinois River view. Serenity at its best! However, I must also mention the very comfortable beds, the much used hot tub, the kayak and even the ping pong table. There was also easy access to a great coffee shop (Zion), shopping (Junction City), farmers market, and restaurants. I will certainly return if in the area again.

We absolutely loved this VRBO! The inside and outside we’re so amazing. The comfort and beauty of the bedroom and living room were great. We watched the sunrise in the hot tub with a cup of coffee in the morning. Peoria Heights is an adorable town that was so close to this place. We can’t wait to stay here again!

Great place to stay
This was a great stopover for me as I was working and had a day in between jobs. The place was darling and the view was amazing. The hosts were easy to get a hold of and very friendly. I would definitely return!
