The space
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 comfortable couch in the living room if needed to sleep on. Our kitchen has everything you would need for a short or extended stay including a 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. You can also rest assure that we are taking extra care to disinfect our space to the highest degree.

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.

Guest access
While staying at our property you will have access to our private driveway. To access the driveway, there is an alley and less of a steep incline if you enter the alley from the North and then turn right into the driveway. In addition, you will receive a keycode that is changed constantly in order to enter the house.

Other things to note
OUR CLEANING PROCESS
You can rest assured, we take the utmost care thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting our home. My husband and I are in healthcare and take the utmost care in sanitizing and disinfecting our home. We use hospital grade cleaning products that are virucidal, germicidal, and bactericidal. We also supply disinfecting/sanitizing products and hand sanitizer as well. Our checkout time is technically 11am and check in is 3pm so we have at the very least 4 hours to prepare for you and even more if the previous guests check out early. Check my reviews if any question:)

Neighbourhood highlights

We are located just 5 minutes from Route 150 and Interstate 74 and 10 minutes from downtown Peoria. From our property you can enjoy a short walk to Grandview Drive to see the panoramic view of the Illinois River. In 1910 President Theodore Roosevelt named Grandview Drive the world’s most beautiful drive. It is there that you will see many breath-taking homes lining the roadway including the “castle” home with the guardian dragons that is located near the Peoria Country Club. Or you may want to take a walk on the nearby Rock Island Trail. We are also located just a few blocks from Trefzger’s Bakery which was established in 1861 and is central Illinois’ oldest bakery. In addition, we are conveniently located 10 minutes from OSF Hospital and Bradley University.
If you would like a taste of our nightlife, you can literally step out of our front door and be in the middle of the restaurant scene in Peoria Heights. It is here that you will find the bustling sidewalks filled with people and entertainment. As everyone here says, it’s “Happening in the Heights!”
