We sure loved the location of this VRBO. Just walk out the door and you are on the river and at the trails that lead to the Gathering Place! Close to shops on Peoria as well. Even though you are next to Riverside Dr, we didn't notice it being noisy. It was large enough for 7 adults to stay comfortably. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was small but well stocked with supplies. House had a few quirks and needed some small repairs in some places. Bedroom doors were sticky as well. Room darkening curtains would be appreciated as well. Overall...we enjoyed our time there! ##### Sara K.
