Wonderful time away
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.

Challenging driveway
The driveway to the home is very steep and winding, which is not noted in the description and shoukd be. The entrance/bottom of the driveway is off a very busy, tree-lined street, making it difficult to find the entrance. We were unable to slow down to find the entrance so we passed the driveway when we first arrived. A big marker would have helped. Also used soap bars, dirty kitchen sponge, and garbage in the kitchen bin were left. A small amount of food (butter and flour) was left behind. Although we were notified before our arrival about a large carpet stain in the living room, overall I felt the cleanliness of the home was not on par with other VRBO homes we have stayed in.

Fine View in Peoria
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!

Girl's Trip
Our group of 5 ladies truly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. The sunrises from the deck and living room window were breathtaking. We also enjoyed watching the barges, and using the firepit. Joe and Carol answered our questions promptly and even provided a larger folding table for our eating and game playing needs along with a board that we used on the living room table to do puzzles on. They were perfect Hosts! As mentioned in other Reviews the driveway and entrance to the road is a bit challenging, but it helped to arrive in the daylight. Our driver handled it fine with her pickup truck and it was well worth the beautiful views we had from the hilltop. The location was convenient to the Peoria Zoo and Luthy Botanical Garden which we visited. We highly recommend this lovely cottage!

Nice property
House was extremely clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the view and watching the barges on the river. Owner was very responsive and welcoming. The only negative was the steepness of the driveway, and the street being busy at certain times of the day. It made it challenging to drive in and out of the property.

Charming
We were so thankful for the incredible kindness and hospitality the property managers extended to our family…..they even put out extra lighting to find the drive since we were arriving late into the night!! We felt like we were being cared for like family. The views were fantastic and if time and weather would have permitted we would have spent a considerable amount of time exploring the nearby trail and lake. We also would have spent more time on the deck areas.
