We come to Pekin frequently to visit family, so this was my fifth time staying at this property. The house is always clean, and is incredibly consistent. This is a nice, quiet neighborhood and I will gladly book the property again if I am staying in the area.
We had a great stay - house is on a very quiet street - central to everything. It was well stocked, very clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely book it again.
Loved staying here! Had everything I needed and was very clean and accommodating. Would absolutely stay here again!

Stayed here for a week over Christmas/New Years while visiting family, and it was the perfect quiet retreat! The decor was fun, the house was clean, the furniture was cozy, and the neighborhood was quiet. The beds were soft and comfortable, too. I would definitely stay here again.
This place was very clean and cute with the Harry Potter theme! The host is very communicative and this was a very easy check in and check out process!
I was on a business trip and needed a place to stay that was more comfortable than a hotel and this was it. Lots of streaming channels, keurig coffees, tea, and a kitchen with anything you would need to cook food. The host, Matt, was very responsive to any questions and instructions about how to get in were really clear!
I was looking for a quiet place to stay where I would be able to relax after long days on a work trip, and this house was perfect for that! The host and landlord were very responsive when I did have one small issue with the Keurig and they were able to replace it same day!!
Property included everything needed to ensure a great stay. Everything was well appointed and the owner went out of their way both with communication and supplying the space to make the stay easy and enjoyable. Small touches such as curtains allowing for the bedroom to be nice and dark were appreciated. There were ample pillows and blankets. The coffee setup was also a nice touch. We would recommend this location to anyone looking for a nice and quiet space to stay in Pekin, IL.
My stay in Pekin was for medical reasons. Although I am from Pekin, with friends and family living there, my stay involved a medical procedure and a day or so of recovery. The VRBO experience was better than a traditional hotel, as it was more accommodating. This one was located conveniently in a quiet neighborhood that was close to everything that I needed.
I enjoyed the residence! The Harry Potter themed decor. Very nice, clean and comfy beds! A little more difficult for my elderly mother getting up and down from nice but soft, low furniture. I would recommend grab bars in the tub/shower area for us older folk. We had one incident of loud music in adjoining duplex but all in all we were there for 5 nights and enjoyed it very much!
We have spent three nights at the house and really enjoy the stay. The house sits in quiet neighborhood with short walking distance to the park with nice pound. House has well chosen HP decor, not overwhelming but enough to feel the vibe which we really enjoyed. It has everything you need to stay with nice specious kitchen open to the living room. The host takes really good care to make you feel comfortable. It is a short drive to Peoria where we were watching our daughter in track and field events. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you
As described; better than the pictures. Very clean and comfortable. Loved the coffee bar. Very quiet. Conveniently located. Will reserve again when return to Pekin.
