“Exactly what a B & B experience should be!”

My husband and I stayed at the Old Church House Inn while attending a wedding in Peoria. What a gem of a B & B! Originally a church built in the 1860s, the building was converted into an inn by the current owners, who live in one half of the structure. The entire "other half" is one very large, graciously appointed guest suite. The main portion has expansive, 18-foot ceilings and a dining room and large sitting area, complete with a fireplace and a piano. Over the entry is a "book loft," accessible by ladder (proceed at your own risk!) and furnished with book-lined shelves and a reading chair and bordered with the original structure's altar rail. The long and elegant staircase leads to the bedroom, bath, and additional sitting room, which can convert to a second bedroom for children, perhaps. The bedroom is beautifully Victorian, and the bathroom, also in "period decor," is completely up-to-date in its amenities. Antique furnishings and accessories abound, and everything is scrupulously clean. And the breakfast ...delicious, elegantly presented by the host, who is happy to chat or just leave you alone, it's up to you. The Ramseyers are gracious hosts and have created a lovely getaway experience in Mossville. I highly recommend it and would eagerly return.

“Old Church House - a relaxing retreat in Peoria”

We returned for a 2nd stay at the Old Church House in Mossville, a quaint town just upriver from Peoria. Dean & Holly will do everything to make your stay enjoyable. If you're worried that staying in a former church will be strange, or uncomfortable -- put those fears to rest now. If you wish to sit in a pew as you read your Bible you could do that -- one of the old pews is on the balcony -- but you'll be more comfortable in the separate private sitting room. It looks like a church on the outside, but once inside you will feel like you are in a guest suite at the Vanderbilt mansion -- updated yet Victorian, and comfortable yet classy. The breakfasts will be unbelievable and your rest and relaxation will be assured if you stay here. As for the greater Peoria area, there is lots to do as with any medium-sized city. You'll get access to shopping, dining, and attractions without getting stuck in traffic. I hope to come back in the summer to explore the biking or boating opportunities. Being right near Lake Peoria, the Rock Island Trail, and many other attractions means that you can do as much or little as you wish.
