Pool Season & Heating

The Hickory Hideaway pool is seasonally open May through September, weather permitting.

Pool heating is available by advance request and for an additional fee. When heating is requested, the pool may be heated to a maximum of 86°F.

The pool-heating fee ranges from $25–$75 per day, depending on outdoor temperatures and the amount of heating required. Because weather conditions can affect how quickly an outdoor pool warms and maintains temperature, heating must be arranged in advance and the desired temperature cannot always be guaranteed.

This home has everything you need for your stay in Peoria. The home is clean and well-maintained. The kitchen was very nice and functional with everything we needed for dinners. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub and hanging out on the back patio. The home is close to several good restaurants. We had great communication with the host and smooth check-in.
