Girls trip

This was the perfect place for our girls trip! Quiet neighborhood, great river view and plenty to do downtown if you choose to explore. We especially enjoyed a little time on the river in the kayaks that were provided by the owner. The owner was extremely fast in her communication and provided great information prior to our trip.

wonderfully relaxing

Empathic host, a great house with quiet neighbors. A combination that made for a awesome stay. "One World" (pizza in Peoria) was one of the best hand thrown pizzas we have every had! We went for the unusual, and we scored. "Trefzger" ( a 150 year old bakery in Peoria Heights) was such an aroma/flavor/memory trip. Thanks

Lovely home

We used this property to get ready at the day before of our wedding. Girls upstairs and boys downstairs and it was perfect! Beautiful scenery. Amazing natural lighting. We then stayed together as a married couple. We’d love to come back every year as an anniversary house and bring the pups.The only thing I could think is the listing showed a bunk bed but it was 2 solo queens in two separate rooms. It didn’t matter for our stay as husband and wife but good to know.

Clean & Comfortable

We were in the Peoria area visiting and wanted a quiet and pleasant atmosphere. Anabelle's property delivered in spades. Communication was excellent. Any questions we had were answered immediately. The location can't be beat, lovely view of the water. We utilized the gas grill several evenings along with enjoying the deck. Everything was clean and we had great sleeps. Will stay here again if we ever come back to the area. Cheers

Cozy Retreat

Annabelle has a great home to relax in, yet if interested in exploring the local cities/area, nothing is too far from the house. We enjoyed the 2 levels and 2 of the 3 outside seating areas. We had pre and post Komen Walk comfy experiences there. Very clean, furnishings and decorating was really nice. They even had some packaged staple food you could prepare if you checked in late and didn’t or couldn’t go shopping right away for a meal!! We wished we had kayaks or paddle boards because the river was so calm. A beautiful view! Thank you Annabelle.

Perfect Getaway

My friends and I recently stayed at this fantastic house while participating in a disc golf tournament, and it exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the cleanliness and attention to detail throughout the property. The house offered stunning views that were the perfect backdrop for our morning coffees and evening relaxation. It was tucked away in a secluded area, providing the privacy and tranquility we were looking for during our getaway. The basement and living room offered a fun and comfortable hangout area where we could unwind after long days on the course. Whether we were playing games, watching tv, or just enjoying each other's company, it was the perfect spot to relax. Overall, this house was the ideal retreat for our group. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable stay. We can't wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Gale and Anabelle JOHNSON

Host profile image
Hi my husband and I are locals to the Peoria area. We have been together for over 20 years, have 2 adult children & both have owned our own businesses for almost 20 years. We have traveled for fun, for business & all over for our kids sports- in campers, hotels, motels, resorts, five star, budget friendly, on a plane, in a car, on a ship & have learned a few things. Nothing is better than a great space to spend time with loved ones, get a great nights sleep, waking up to a beautiful setting with a great cup of coffee! (Or tea) So we hope our place is that for you!

Why they chose this property

The 900sf home has recently had a makeover. Cozy home to enjoy family time making dinners, hanging out on the porch, resting in the sun on the back deck, footsteps from the water.

What makes this property unique

Includes a boat ramp for small boats or kayaks and the water is shallow so many wildlife call it home as well.
