Wonderful Property
Wonderful property for a relaxing stay with family. Location seemed to be within 5-10 minutes of everything we planned on doing in Peoria. Riverfront, museums, grocery store, Bradley Park, dog trails - every time we googled directions, we were close to our destination. Lots of room to spread out in the house, beautiful grounds, nice beds, nice towels. We just had a great time staying at the Knoxville Retreat.

Wonderful experience, wonderful host!
We stayed at the Knoxville retreat to prepare for my daughter’s wedding. Dimitri is a responsive and gracious host, the beds were AMAZING, and the house updates are well done, while still retaining some of the charm. Such thoughtful touches, like creamer, several sugar options, pots and pans, baking sheets, filtered water, hand soap, lotion, etc…. It was a very enjoyable stay!!

Amazing stay
We had the best time during our stay at the Knoxville Retreat. The house is a beautiful, older home, well decorated and really well furnished. It is located on a large yard, far back off the road and was very quiet; good neighborhood. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. It was relaxing and really made our visit. Thank you so much for providing such a great to stay in Peoria! We will be back.

Getaway in the middle of Peoria
This home in the center of Peoria was homey, tastefully furnished, and full of character. Lots of restaurants and such nearby, but also quiet since it's situated back from the road on a hill. The host was communicative and friendly. Note, the bedrooms are on the second floor if you have trouble with stairs.

House was amazing. Property owner, Dmitri and his family, live next door and were amazing getting everything we needed and making our stay very comfortable. Feels like being in a hotel. I would definitely stay there again and as we have family in town, probably will.

Elegant home with beautiful yard
I stopped at the Knoxville retreat for four days of R and R and to conduct several virtual meetings. This home is lovely. Well appointed and furnished. Quiet neighborhood and a beautiful 2 acre yard. The owner and his family are wonderful. Very attentive to every need. Highly recommended stay and if in the area, I will rebook.

Hospitable Host
We had to rush to Peoria to be with my father as he had an extended stay at St Francis hospital ICU. Our family wanted to be close but due to Covid we’re not allowed at the hospital. Dimitri was kind and thoughtful to us as we gathered to support one another during this stressful time. The house provided a safe and comfortable place to rest and comfort each other. Thank you Dimitri for your hospitality.
