Haven In The Heights.... Steps Away From It All!!

Location, Location, Location!! Welcome to our delightful two bedroom one bath bungalow located literally just steps away from all of the fabulous restaurants and shops on N. Prospect in Peoria Heights. We are also located just 5 minutes from US Route 150 and Interstate 74 and 10 minutes from downtown Peoria. If you want to be in the center of it all, book your stay here!
We have created a home away from home for our family and friends and now extend it to you! Each bedroom features a full size bed with designer bedding. In addition to this, there is a queen sofa pullout in the living room if needed. Our kitchen has everything you would need for a short or extended stay including a washer/dryer, stove, refrigerator, and microwave. We also have a Keurig coffee machine with the assorted accoutrements needed for a fresh brewed cup of coffee or tea. During your stay you are welcome to sit outside on our lovely covered porch and relax and enjoy the ambience of the charming neighborhood. We have a convenient parking spot in our driveway, and there is also plenty of additional street parking.

History of Our Street: Duryea Avenue is named after Charles Duryea who engineered the first American gasoline powered automobile. The Duryea bothers won America’s first car race with their car in 1895. Soon after that in 1898, Charles Duryea incorporated Duryea Manufacturing Co. in Peoria Heights, and one of his early vehicles can be found on display at the Peoria Riverfront Museum in downtown Peoria.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

I love old houses: they are always so unique and special and this one was no exception. It was compact, clean, and comfortable. We really enjoyed our week long stay. All the basics and then some were there, the bedding and towels were excellent, and the spaces were well laid out. The beds were very easy to fall asleep in. (The footboards do limit size for taller people.) Ashley was great to work with and prompt answering questions. We will definitely stay here again.

Great location, not in great shape, needs some maintenance and repairs, and a good cleaning inside and out. There is a lot of dust on the lights in the bathroom. The outside deck is a nice spot to relax and watch wildlife.

Close to everything!

We enjoyed the proximity to the coffee shops, the local shopping and restaurants! The place was very neat and tidy, although small it is very nicely decorated. I would recommend this house to others. The only thing I would say needed to be improved upon is the sheer curtain over the front door didn’t provide much privacy so we put a sheet over it

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!!!’

Week long stay

Its a very small 2 bedroom house with 1 bathroom (in one of the bedrooms), kitchen and living room. Couch could stand to be replaced as it wasnt very comfortable. TV could also be replaced with larger screen. Its an okay stay for 1-2 night trip though.

4.5 stars

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.
