Pamela’s house is a GEM! Easily one of my top VRBO/AIRBNB-type experiences ever. The house itself is lovely, private, and quiet—a real “retreat” vibe. It’s incredibly well cared-for, detailed, and tasteful, with a quaint Victorian set-up. The photos really don’t give the full picture; it’s a truly unique and special place. Pamela herself could not have been more generous, kind, and friendly, and she was very easily reachable. She has great recommendations for the area, is just a truly generous spirit. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Absolutely would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and had everything you needed. Pamela was lovely to deal with and if we’re ever in the area again we would stay there.

A nice retreat and lovely old home with lots of charm and character. Owner is awesome with details and the house is very clean. I would definitely stay again and look forward to another visit!

Pamela was there to greet us and show us around the place. She was a wonderful hostess. We loved the fact that it was kinda hidden in the wooded area and even saw 2 deer upon arrival. It was far enough away from things yet close enough that you still got to where you wanted in a reasonable amount of time. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

What a lovely throw back in time. A wonderful, peaceful home full of comfortable memories around every corner. We enjoyed the leaves drifting down from the trees and watching for deer in the woods surrounding the home. This Story Book Home is located conviently to all emmenities in town and still retains its hidden charm. Someday we hope to come back.! Thank you again! Patti and Tom

We enjoyed the feeling of being out in the woods while being just minutes from Peoria Heights and Peoria. The doe just outside the windows, and all the birds and other creatures that came (we picked up some bird seed to put out) made our visit to this hidden gem even more special. Pamela was very friendly and helpful.

We had a great experience , it was a really cool location . We would definitely rebook if we return to the area.

Peaceful Victorian in the woods near nature park. Quiet and a respite from hectic life events. Great for one or family. Loved the patio and porch.

We very much enjoyed staying here! Pamela went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. Even left us a good Merlot as a bonus. If we’re ever back in Peoria, we’ll definitely stay here again.

My brother and I were in town for family, our step mom passed and dad had been sick, we needed a safe clean place to lay our heads after long days, and pams place is so much more than we expected. It was quiet, very clean and way better than a hotel room. Pam met us and showed us around and was so easy to communicate with, the pictures do not do this beautiful home justice. There's a washer/dryer in basement which is quite lovely in itself. Everything we needed and then some. I highly recommend to everyone. It was a beautiful home and our sanctuary in our time of need. Thank u Pam:), God Bless u!! Only thing to note was stairs are steep going to master, just be aware and go slow and it's worth it.

The pictures do not do this home justice! Secluded home! So much privacy for honeymooners or romantic getaways! I wish I would've stayed here longer ! Owner and her helper were wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed. The most wonderful vacation experience! I would stay here again!

What a beautiful location. This 1907 home has been treated well over the past 100+ years. What a delightful stay. And its a 15 minute drive into the city. Pam was more than accommodating and gracious to us. The other two guys who traveled with me enjoyed her home as much as I did. We highly recommend it to anyone traveling into Peoria. Thanks Pam

This is a very comfortable and very clean Victorian house that backs up to a wooded nature preserve. I saw two wild turkeys my first day, peeking in the basement windows. Lots of outdoor entertainment space, and there is a beautiful screened porch as well. We listened to crickets at night and watched for deer every morning. So quiet, beautiful and peaceful! The kitchen is very well-appointed, with everything you need to cook a big meal. Very helpful and cheerful management by the owner. Thanks again, Pamela!

This is a hidden house on a treed hill in a residential neighborhood. Outstanding property. Comfortably secluded and interesting. A charming house with a great covered porch and outside patio. Perfect for a couple who in enjoy nature and privacy but also want to be close to town. The place was very clean and well appointed. We will come again.

This charming home was the perfect setting for our visit to Peoria. The owner and her manager were very helpful, providing us with useful information on this historic house, local restaurants and other fun attractions. Peoria is an amazing town, located on the Illinois River. There are many things to see here and we will be back to watch those paddle-boats steam by. My wife and I were here to visit the town I was born in and this lovely house helped capture the feeling of home and family. I would highly recommend this property to anyone considering a visit this part of the country.
