Riverview Retreat

My husband and I have a wonderful artistically refurbished house on the river with a wrap around deck & open floor plan. The master has its own deck on the water. Private access to water for fishing.. We have 2 kayaks available as well as 3 bikes. There are yard games to use in the fully fenced yard. Great hiking close. There is a fire pit on the main deck. Great restaurants and shopping in Peoria Heights. Everything you need for a great stay. Enjoy a glass of wine on the main deck in the evening or a cup of coffee on the upper deck to watch the sunrise over the water in the morning. Your request to book must include a message with information, especially if you have no reviews. Where are you coming from? Purpose of visit, vacation or visiting friends, relatives. Have you used VRBO before? If there is no message your request will be denied. Please read the house rules and confirm you have read when you message.

Unique feels with this riverside cabin
These owners have thought of everything, from snacks tucked in a coffee nook in the upper bedroom area, to every sort of outdoor feature you can enjoy in summer or winter. This was my favorite place to stay that I have ever been to. I felt transported to another culture of river cabin elegance with a unique flare. This is definitely a place to revisit again!

Christmas Holiday w Family
Great safe yard space for our dog- wonderful spacious bedrooms with great bedding- slept so well at night. Loved the coffee station to get us going in the morning and the living room overlooking the River was a great place for us to gather before our family holiday events. Nicely located between Chillicothe and Peoria. Would love to see it in the summer with all the trees in bloom! Love the outdoor porches and balconies outside!

High School Best Friends Reunion
What a wonderful property. The view of the river is fantastic and the sunrise each morning was breathtaking. We loved the art work in the house and had a great time discussing the pieces. It adds a special touch to this rental. The owner was easy to work with and very helpful We hope to return soon and not wait 50 years.

My Favorite Place of all time!
Of all the places I've stayed at on this and that other evil BnB site, (Ha!) this is by far my favorite place as far as furnishings are concerned. Every square inch of this place is filled with original local art. It is majestic! It is astounding! It is truly unique in the best of ways! Being an artist myself, my hats off to the owners for supporting artists! And the deck? Epic!

Wonderful vacation.
We were able to relax all weekend with no worries. The house was extremly nice and had so many interesting items in the house (art, books, status, etc.) The fenced in yard made it very relaxing not having to worried about our dogs runny away or leashing them eat time we let them outside.
