Clean & Comfortable
We were in the Peoria area visiting and wanted a quiet and pleasant atmosphere. Anabelle's property delivered in spades. Communication was excellent. Any questions we had were answered immediately. The location can't be beat, lovely view of the water. We utilized the gas grill several evenings along with enjoying the deck. Everything was clean and we had great sleeps. Will stay here again if we ever come back to the area. Cheers
