This house and the owners are amazing. The house is part of a small farm. The owners make you feel welcome immediately. I loved the greeting. They gave me a tour of the house and the property. They left so many little touches, it’s clear they want guests to love being there. I could see two families of four loving the house and yard. Plenty of space inside, big kitchen, living room, outdoor patio, huge showers, a tub. Big island in the kitchen furnished with everything you need. Big yard and swings for kids. There are goats and chickens, exciting if you have little ones. House is set way back off the road and protected with tall hedge for privacy. The owners planted a nice garden in the back. Flowers all around the outside of the house bring more cheer to this home.
The owners gave me a dining tip - Kemp 208 in Morton. We loved that restaurant. Looking for a greasy spoon? Woodys is a short walk from the house.
Peoria is a few minutes away. You can try the Grand View Drive to enjoy Peoria Lake. The Riverfront Museum with its planetarium is fun for young and old. Also check out the restaurant Ardor by the river. Delicious bread. I loved the Duck Frites.
Bethany and Brent picked apples from their Apple tree and left fresh eggs from their hens in the fridge. They were so friendly and sweet to us. I loved the place before even setting a foot in the house, because they are so kind and welcoming. My only regret is I had to leave.
