Our recent stay at this spacious house was a delightful surprise that left us satisfied. We were a large group, searching for a comfortable and affordable place to accommodate all of us. First and foremost, the capacity of this house is impressive! It comfortably fit our entire group with room to spare. We had plenty of bedrooms to ensure everyone had their own space, and the common areas were roomy enough for us to gather, play games, and share meals together. The layout of the house allowed for a sense of togetherness while still offering privacy when needed—a perfect balance for a big group. My only critique is that some of the amenities were not working. The bbq pit in the pool area was marked off, the hot tub was not set up, and the outdoor grill didn't have a bottom so we couldn't grill with that. We did end up using the little charcoal grill they had there. A lot of the tv remotes didn't have batteries so we had to find some from other remotes to use some of the equipment. Overall, it was a great stay and the price was affordable for our group. Even with the little critiques we had we will definitely want to use this house again in the future.

We were worried from previous reviews, but it was very nice. A little outdated, but clean. The grill by the pool is not functioning, there's not a trampoline as pictured and the wifi was spotty, so we weren't able to stream anything to the theater room. But everything else was perfect.

I will give this place a 3 star rating. That may be a little generous if I ask the others in my family what they think. I was very surprised to pull up in the drive way and see 7 bags of trash near the front door. I found a trash bin / dumpster on the East side of the house, my son helped me clean up the front by throwing the trash away. Another child swept the front step / porch to make it more welcoming. Throughout the course of our stay, we had over 5 manhours in cleaning the place. Although it was swept, the floors were not mopped. My wife mopped the floors. I found cobwebs and dust / dirt on the floor the walls, therefore I cleaned the floors along the walls and behind the couches, etc. The place was cleaner after we left then it was before we arrived. It seems like the cleaning fee is high for only surface cleaning. The space was very nice and open. The appliances have been updated, including the refrigerators, washer and dryer, and TV's. They were very nice. The indoor pool was nice and it had it's own entrance away from the house. Which is good when you have grandchildren. Plenty of towels for everyone. I could say more both good and not so good....... but overall, the house, location and price worked well for my family. I would rent it again, but have lower expectations.

VERY DIRTY, WE HAVE MANY PICTURES I WOULD HAPPILY SHARE WITH THE OWNER. FLOORS WERE STICKY AND THERE WAS NO MOP TO CLEAN UP WITH. HAD TO CLEAN FLOOR WITH PAPER TOWELS. HAD T SWEEP ALL FLOORS, CLEAN ALL THE TABLES AND GET THE HAIR OUT OF THE SHOWER TRAPS. REALLY SHOULD NOT BE CHARGING A CLEANING FEE, WE DID THE CLEANING. WASHER AND DRYER WERE BOTH FULL OF TOWELS WHEN WE ARRIVED.UPSTAIRS TOILET FLOAT WAS STUCK AND I ALSO REPAIRED THAT. PROPERTY HAS NICE AMENITIES THAT COULD MAKE THIS A GREAT RENTAL. IF THIS IS AN OWNER CLEANED PROPERTY THEY NEED TO SPEND MORE TIME. IF IT IS DONE BY A VENDOR I RECOMMEND A NEW CLEANING COMPANY.

This is the second time we have stayed here. We enjoyed our stay. Are there improvements that could be done, yes. The house is huge and plenty of space for us all. The pool and the outdoor space is a big plus!! We enjoyed watching the neighbors' horses and cows as well. For the price, to us it is well worth it.

Overall the kids had a great time and it was what we expected for our stay. Reading previous reviews definitely set appropriate expectations for the property. It wasn’t spotless but wasn’t horrible dirty either, however there were clear areas of neglect that caused some bug issues. The kids loved the pool and movie room and were never bored, tho there are carpet tack strips in the movie room not applied properly so we ended up with multiple cuts on our kids feet. The pool was big and the slide was brand new and great. The rust from well water on spots didn’t bother us at all m, however the chemicals in the pool were clearly off becuase the kids got rashes all over. There was plenty of space for adults and kids to have their own rooms. This is a great property for the price if you go in with realistic expectations. It’s needs some major TLC, and the cleaning fee feels like a lot when there were glaring areas that hadn’t been cleaned in months but we felt prepared for all of this based on previous reviews. Communication with the owner is very slow and minimal but we took care of what we needed.

Pictures of beautiful barbecue and pool. Barbecue has board over it that says do not use. Pool area has slide and fire place. Slide busted and my granddaughter had to be taken to ER for staples in her foot. The only contact from host was for payment I had to call the day we were to check in for passcode. Our family has stayed many places this was the worst.

Take a seat... 3 locked doors we had to leave alone. A drawer full of mouse turds, a wobbly kid's bunk bed ladder with exposed screws, rusted and broken dishes and cutlery, and even the indoor pool had a healthy section of rust around the cracking slide. The bathroom and "kitchen" in the pool house had no running water and the grill inside was off limits. The wifi barely worked, and only 2 of the 3 receivers ever even emitted a signal. There's more remotes than devices and a severe shortage of batteries. The lower level has no heat other than space heaters, and you're not allowed to adjust the thermostat to your own comfort; it's literally in a lockbox. There was old coffee grounds in the pot and a used pod in the Keurig. The blenders had debris and dried liquids in the bases and so did the cup holders in the theater room chairs- half of which don't work. Pics showed a popcorn popper that was non-existent. Dryer was going out and excessively loud (we informed the contact who did nothing to resolve it). We visually saw 2 mice and possibly one rat. The older microwave is stored in a cabinet and would error out any time we tried to pop popcorn. We had to go buy more dishwasher pods and trash bags because the contact never replied to our being out (for a 6 day stay of 6 people, they provided 4 trash bags and 5 pods) and the supply closet was locked and off limits. Behind the master bed, there are exposed wires. We had to reset the master bath power because there was NONE.

Overall, this property worked for our purposes. We wanted a big space to enjoy family time together for a Christmas trip. And had we not received an outrageous request for an additional $250 afterwards for "additional cleaning needed" I might have been able to overlook the mishaps and leave a better review. Our large family has stayed at multiple VRBOs and have always received great reviews as we pride ourselves in leaving the place better than we found it. Communication with the owner was not seamless. The host did not reply to my messages on VRBO. It wasn't until I text the host directly that I received any word back. I had to text and ask for the door code, it was not sent to me ahead of time. Upon arrival, we found the pool heater was not working. While we text the host, and they did send someone out, we went 24 hours of our stay without a heated pool-the main draw to the house in the winter time, and were not offered any consolation or compensation. We also had to request additional blankets. The house was not impeccably clean when we arrived-dust bunnies in many areas, a dead mouse in the ceiling light, cobwebs in master shower, children's socks and underwear under the bunk bed, and leftover gingerbread houses from the previous renters. The theatre room was not hooked up and ready and we could not get the TV in the bunkbed room to work (none of the remotes matched the TV). All of these inconveniences are especially frustrating when previous reviews had similar problems with cleanliness, pool heater, communication, remotes, etc. As others have said, this house has so much potential, but for only being built in 2010 the house is very rundown. With some TLC it could be really fabulous. The property is for sale, so I imagine the owners are not wanting to put a lot of time and money into it. Overall, we had a good time and memories were made, but the request for additional cleaning left me especially frustrated considering all the imperfections we experienced. Again, those could've been overlooked and we might have returned to this property-but asking $250 more from us for additional cleaning for a house that wasn't spotless when we showed up seems out of line.

Not worth the money. It is so dirty. We had to clean before the family got there. A 3 stall garage is listed however you are not able to park in there. The pool area is disgusting!! The theater looked like it had not been vacuumed in months. The garbage bins were so full we had no place to put ours but on the ground. The microwave had not been washed out, the refrigerator had not been wiped down as it had finger prints all over so it was obvious the cleaning person did not clean. I did request our cleaning fees be refunded and they said they would as the host promised but then never refunded the fee until I made a call to VRBO and then I had my refund within 2 hours. As a business person and owner of a hospice care facility, Araceli is NOT very worthy nor is she a woman of integrity. I wouldn't recommend staying here or doing business with this Lady!!!

We rented this home for the express purpose of getting all of our kids together for Christmas, which is no easy task. In addition, we invited extended family over for a post-Christmas get-together meal. It had been since before Covid that we had all seen each other, and the roomy house accommodated everyone perfectly. The heated pool was a huge hit for the kiddos ... from ages ranging from 4 to 12, I think there were nine of them splashing around together! All in all, it was a great winter get-away! Would recommend for any family event.

We had so much fun! The house was beautiful. Lots of room to spread out and still spend time together. Check in email didn’t come through before we arrived so I had to contact owner to get in. I asked a few questions before we arrived also and it took a couple days before they responded. Master shower wasn’t clean. You could see dirt on the floor and cobwebs in the corners. Dryer is very loud. Had to be used during the day when we were up. Pool was very warm and the kids love being able to swim when it was cold out. Overall great trip.

I was happy with the home

Pictures look great on website! This house was dirty, dead bugs, so many flies(live ones) it was disgusting. Mud in the first room we walked into on the floor. Beds were all uncomfortable. We had 11 adults and 3 kids. Not enough sleeping areas as it said there was. Hand railing going up to the kitchen is loose and unstable along with balcony railing. Please do not lean on or this could be tragic. The pool was cold and the pool area had trash on the ground. We were afraid to use grill that was in there because it looked as if there was no venalation for it. On the VRBO site this place is glorified. Do not do it. Save your money and find a nice home to stay. Not handicapped accessible at all. The 3 car garage is there like it states on website you just cannot use it. The electrical does not seem safe as well. Lights flickered several times a day. The Wi-Fi and tvs are a joke! Good luck to the next family

We had a blast in the nicely heated pool. The kids loved the theater room, and all chose to sleep in there. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi wasn't working and we couldn't stream any movies for them to watch. There was a camera on the ceiling in the middle of the kitchen island that also overlooks the family room which made it feel as if we were being watched the whole time (the camera was not disclosed to us). In the theater room there was light coming from underneath the curtains. When we moved the curtain back we saw a room with a boarded-up door. The light was coming from the bottom of that door- this room was not mentioned in the house binder. The pool definitely made up for the dinginess of the place. However- we spent our final morning scrubbing down areas that should have been scrubbed down before our stay. Overall, we had a fun time but would not rent again.

With everything that this house has listed to offer, our group was very underwhelmed with the whole weekend. Arriving at the house and communicating with the owner was top notch, but the house itself needs a lot of updating and maintenance done. The cleaning of the house left alot to be desired also. The cinema room had bits of popcorn and dirt all over the floor from previous guests, not to mention cobwebs and dirt in corners all throughout the house. The furniture in the pool house was spotted with mold and mildew. Probably switching to furniture with no cushions would help. There are approximately 12 televisions in the house and pool room, and out of approximately 20 remotes that went along with them, there were only 4 that had batteries in them. We only got one TV to fully work the whole time we were there. There were a couple toilets that rocked back and forth. There are stairs to get everywhere in the house. We were aware of this beforehand, so that is ok, but there is no hand rail going downstairs, and the railings upstairs are not sturdy at all. You really couldn't put any weight on them. This house is for sale, so the owner may not want to put any more money into it than he has to .

Home was plenty big enough for our large group. Pool was a big hit for the kids. Kind of cold in the pool house. Would have been great to start a fire and turn on the TV while we were in there. But we were worried about fireplace ventilation and TV wouldn't come on. Theater room was a great hit also but we were only able to stream Netflix. Too many remotes throughout the house for TVs so it was a puzzle trying to figure out. Wish we had more outdoor activities.. like fire pit. And clean out door furniture to spend time outside. Because we were not able to park the 3 cars in the garage we were limited to the amount of space we could use in front yard for riding activities (like bikes and scooters). Would have been great to have better bedding sheets and extra pillows.

It's our second visit to this property it's wearing down for sure from a maintenance perspective. Arrived to a broken pool heater so the pool was freezing. The owner reached out for repairs but no one was open was able to get the unit back up and running ourselves after a day and several video calls with a friend who works on pools. All we got was a "thanks" for saving them a hefty repair bill. It was our daughter's birthday and all she wanted to do was swim so we made it happen despite the lost funds due to a useless pool days 1 and 2. They are making improvements however it looks like that's to sell the place as others have said there is a for sale sign in the front yard. During our visit, we lost a 3rd day of swimming as well when a company unknown to us was scheduled to come repair/replace the powered pool cover, again out more time with the pool we paid for. Then another day an individual was parked in the driveway for over an hour when we went out to ask why they were waiting to buy stuff from out of the garage, within 20min several vehicles showed up parked and someone opened the garage and they all started loading things up. When we asked what was going on they asked if we were the cleaning crew and if they could come to use the facilities again all unannounced and with no heads up. Sad to see this place up for sale as we have enjoyed booking it but be warned you likely will have several unannounced visitors for repairs, things being sold and they want to pick them up, as well as others who are just interested in the house. Couple that with several things that likely will not be working as another reviewer said the dryer sounds like a jet engine and is likely about to go as well it makes for a bit of an unrelaxing stay.

We had a great time at this house! It does need a little tlc, but we had a great time swimming, having a fire, and some great family time. It was in a great country atmosphere. The view was great and enough seating for everyone to be comfortable. Would definitely recommend this place to people for a place to stay.

Another family joined ours for a week of disc golf in the Greater Peoria area. This house was perfect for two families, as one family took the lower floor and other took the upper floor. The house layout was designed for entertaining and fun, and the pool house was where the kids spent a lot of their time. We had so much fun enjoying the pool, large screen tvs, and open kitchen and dining areas. Many of the appliances looked brand new and very upscale. The setting was peaceful and private, with cornfields all around. We did have a few issues during our stay. We were contacted by the owner the night before we were to check in informing us that the AC wasn’t working and offering us a full refund, or for us to stay and she would get a portable AC unit . We had already driven 10 hours from home and finding a place for all of us on a moments notice would have been impossible so we decided to stay. The owner must not have been able to find a portable AC unit, but the repair man was there on the second day of our stay and had us cooling by midweek. The oven also did not work, and the owner came and looked at it and then a repair man came on our last day (but we were not able to use the oven). And the attention to detail did not it seem to be there. The owners seemed willing to try to help once we contacted them, but so many things were happening and the owner response would sometimes take 12 hours or so, that we finally began trying to make do. For example, there were no flat sheets on the bed - only a fitted sheet and a comforter. We contacted the owner and sheets were brought over three days later. There were dirty dishes in the dishwasher when we moved in, we couldn’t find any fire alarms (owner told us he was sure they were some there but didn’t know where), and quite a few spiders and spider webs in the lower floor. Each one was not a big deal in itself - we washed the dirty dishes, we bought smoke detectors, and put out stuff to get rid of the spiders. I think the owners have good intentions to help, but the multitude of problems make me wonder how much time has been spent focusing on the next guests experience. All in all, the house could be a 6 star home! It has fantastic potential and even with the issues we had we enjoyed our visit to Peoria. There is a “For Sale” sign out front, so I am not sure how long it will be available, but with the limited options for homes in Peoria it was a home we were thankful to have.

The house had lots of space for all the family members. Pools was a big hit the only issues was the bottom of the pool was very hard on the kid's feet. Most if not all TV in the house didn't work at all. Theater room was good a few soft spots. The overall cleaning of the house could have been better. Overall, everyone had a good time.

This property was perfect for our friends group getaway. It was a overcast and raining for part of our stay so the indoor pool was perfect. There is a lot of space to spread out and relax. We didn't use the grill in the pool house but the gas grill on the outside patio was just what we needed. Communication with the owner was easy. I would book again.

We did enjoy the pool, the house was large enough for my large group. However the floor in the movie room is soft, so someone could fall through it.. the toilets are wobbly and so is the railing in the kitchen area.. so we really had to watch the kids around that.. I sent the owner a msg about the dryer making a terrible noise , asked if we should use it.. never got a response. All in all we enjoyed are stay but the house does need some TLC!!

Over all it was a beautiful place but a few things need attention. Such as, the ventilation in the indoor pool/ cooking / grill area , it was way too Smokey when we were grilling, the lights were flickering, not sure if there wasn’t enough power for everything in the poolroom/ grilling area that was on or what?. Also pictures showed trampoline in the back yard, there was none. Hot tub was not working and the floor in the Cinema room had a dip on it that made everyone trip and almost fall

I thought the stay was definitely worth it. Me and my family had such a fun time with all the amenities and the property is overall very nice.

Had a great time loved the location just a few small issues. I don't believe I would try to use the bbq in the pool house. With young kids it would have been nice to have a broom. All and all I would gladly use the property agin.
