A weekend in Peoria
The house is a block off Main Street but quiet. The Main Street has several fun and good restaurants. The house is dated but very clean and has basics of everything needed. Comfortable bed. Hot water. Good air conditioning and heat. Pleasant stay

Do not stay here
We didn’t even stay, the property was filthy, took a ton of pics, shared with Vrbo, never heard back from home owner. I have a listing with VRBO and they were completely useless as far as helping guest as well as getting in touch with the host. I am cancelling my listing with VRBO! Do Not Stay at this Property!!!’

We travelled here for a softball tournament with our 17year old. House is clean and within walking distance to nice restaurants and shopping. Layout of the house was quirky but it is an old home and to be expected. The only bathroom is in one of the bedrooms which makes sharing with a teenage girl difficult. But that’s just our family dynamic and no fault of the house LOL. House served its purpose and we had a good time there! Thanks for having us!

Charming Simplicity
A little cottage in the city…such a treasure. Our needs are simple, thus we wouldn’t change a thing. Bedding and bath towels are luscious. All was in good working order…furnace, hot water, etc (very important in my view especially since it snowed and the temp dropped dramatically during our stay). Delightful 💝

Comfy getaway in the Heights
This is our 2nd time to rent this house and it was just as great as the first time. The house is very clean and stocked with anything you might need. It's within easy walking distance to great restaurants and a good location overall. Ashley is awesome to work with and always helpful. We would definitely rent this home again.

Walkable and cozy
My friend and I enjoyed our getaway weekend together. We didn't drive our cars all weekend and loved the walkability of the shops, restaurants, trails, coffee shop, and bakery. The house was cozy and warm, and it seemed like a very safe area for two females. It was a fun and relaxing getaway! We'd stay here again.

Basic but comfortable
Home is in a good location to stores and restaurants. Surprised there were no closets in the two bedrooms. Armoire in living room. Washer and dryer were nice to have. Beds were too small for me and my husbands liking, so we used both bedrooms. Overall experience was fine and served our purpose.

We enjoyed the property very much. Super convenient to restaurants, coffee shops and a nice walking/biking path. This is a nice but very small house so it is ideal for a couple or small group. Private driveway was appreciated for parking our vehicle
