About this property

Archway In The Heights- Just Steps Away From It All

If you want charm,location, and to be in the center of it all, book your stay here! We have created a home away from home for our family and friends and now extend it to you! Our “Unit B” one bedroom one full bath 700 sqft duplex cottage (just next door to our “Haven in the Heights”) is all about location and convenience in Peoria Heights! You will share a porch (separate seating areas) with our other private Airbnb - “Unit A”. Walking distance to everything, our duplex cottage is perfect for two families traveling together that want to be close by each other, but have their own individual house, or anyone that wants to stay in a great location in a smaller cottage in the Heights. It features a full size bed with designer bedding, full bath, and full kitchen. In addition to this, there is a comfortable couch in the living room along with a cozy fireplace to curl up in front of. Our kitchen has everything you would need for a short or extended stay including a toaster, stove, refrigerator, and microwave. We provide basic cooking essentials such as dishes,silverware, pots and pans, and olive oil for your basic cooking needs. We also have a Keurig coffee machine with the assorted accoutrements needed for a fresh brewed cup of coffee or tea. In addition to all of this, you would have a convenient parking spot in the private parking lot, and there is also plenty of additional free street parking. You would have a shared covered porch with our other airbnb unit. This is Unit B on the right. Two separate entrances (the front of your unit and the back of your unit). There is a ramp to walk up if needed instead of stairs to enter the unit. You can also rest assure that we are taking extra care to disinfect our space to the highest degree.
Location and charm abound in our one bedroom one bath bungalow (Unit B) duplex with private entrance that is literally just steps away from Grandview Drive and all of the fabulous restaurants and shops on N. Prospect in Peoria Heights. You will share a porch with our other Airbnb (Unit A). Complete with private parking. We are located just 5 minutes from US Route 150 with easy access to Interstate 74 and 15 minutes from downtown Peoria. In addition, we are 20 minutes from Peoria Airport. If you want to be in the center of it all, book your stay here!
Guest Access: This is a private unit (Unit B) in a duplex with access in the front of the house and back. There will be a shared front porch with our other Airbnb unit on the left. While staying at our property you will have access to our private parking lot behind the house. To access the parking lot, 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.

Any issues? We live right around the corner and are available at anytime during your stay. We are available by phone or by text at all hours should you need anything during your stay. Please contact us after reserving to obtain entry instructions for self-check-in with the keypad.

About the Neighborhood: 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!”

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:)

Could have been better

Impression of property was generally favorable, nice, clean, quiet, although there seemed to be a lingering, slightly unpleasant, cooking odor left over from previous tenant or maybe seeped in from the other unit. Pre-stay communication with host was rapid but once waited a day for a response. Upon my arrival, she had not yet sent the access info as prearranged, so I had to ask for it. When I entered the unit, it was directly into a dark bedroom where I was shocked to startle someone awake! After another 1/2-hr of waiting in my car, I finally got the correct info for my unit along with a quick apology to chalk it up to holiday chaos. Shortly after getting my luggage inside, I heard a strange sound and turned around to find someone walking in on me! It was the host's mother, there to straighten out the mix-up and to reprogram the other unit's lock. She was apologetic and nice. She later returned to fix the TV when I couldn't get it to work. Later I found movies to watch but they only continued to "process" and not play. When I tried the next day, the TV wasn't working again. So 3-night stay with no TV. The mother told me earlier that she would be joining the host in Chicago for the holiday. I chose not to bother them again. VRBO experience not good: website difficult/confusing to use - message suggested booking not complete, stay info came day after booking; host said I ended up with 2 accts (maybe interfered w/ host communications?); survey glitches prevented changes; etc.

Evening basecamp

Excellent start of day, end of day location. Nearby shops and restaurants are easily walkable in a vibrant neighborhood that make the start and end of each day a reason to explore. Property is a restful retreat after a full day's activity.
