Took wife on a valentine weekend getaway. Looked at several places around the wine trail. Choose this home based on friendâs recommendation. Glad we did. Up to dateâŠsafe feelingâŠclean and great location!!! We WILL stay here again. Thank you for the hospitality.
We choose this place for a central location to do the wine trails. A wonderful venue with beautiful grounds. Big house would be a great place to stay as a large group. Adorable small town vibe and close to Murphy and Anna for needs. Ample kitchen amenities, might need a few additions but you could get by! Would 110% stay here again!
Just a beautifully restored property !!!! Love Love love!
The property is reminiscent of old times past with modern amenities and memorable charm.... Jerri was so accommodating and welcoming!!! This property was once in our family and was destroyed by a hurricane! Jerri restores it beyond its original glory and provides the updated amenities that modern patrons expect! A beautiful jewel in a tranquil location!!! I would love sharing this space with a group of friends and a bottle or
Twp of wine!!!
Southern Illinois is a beautiful area for scenic drives and hiking, wineries and breweries, etc. Havisham carriage house is unique with its history and old thick walls; carefully restored. It is comfortable and functional. We enjoyed the patio and, in cooler weather, the ready to go fire pit would be perfect. A few steps up the sidewalk is the bourbon bar. The bar tender knows her craft! The Bar Bites were excellent. Just be aware of hours of operation for all businesses in the whole area.
The toiletries are minimal and very basic so you might pack your preferred items and kleenex. The kitchen is minimally stocked with dishes for 6 people, 1 skillet and one sauce pan if you plan to do any food prep. We enjoyed Midlands, The Brick House Grill, and the 51BBQ in Cobden. And donât miss brunch at The Iron Whisk. The taco place in Cobden is good and very popular.
We had a nice time. We thought we would get a little more hiking in but the ground was a bit too mushy. Just that time of year. The bourbon bar was a nice finish in the evening. Thank you very much for a cozy stay.
Clean, spacious, modern and well-decorated carriage house in the heart of Alto Pass. Perfect for hiking or checking out wineries/breweries. Great host, would stay again!
The Carriage house was very nice! It was very comfortable. We visited local wineries and the location worked well for that purpose! Thanks for having such nice accommodations!
A really cool pair of classic old timey houses that have been impeccably restored. We chose to stay there because they are located close to friends in Alto Pass but would be great for anyone wanting to experience rural Southern Illinois!
This is such a cute place! It's close to Shawnee Forest for some great hikes. There's a small park across the street for kids to play at as well. We didn't find too much to eat close by, but we brought lots of food and snacks to keep us happy (we visited during the off season, so this might be different during summer months). We would absolutely stay here again if we come to this area.
Very clean, comfortable property. Small kitchen but if you plan to order in or do carry out youâll be in great shape. Coffee pot, toaster and refrigerator are great for breakfast. Oven available, too.
We really enjoyed staying in the carriage house. It was the perfect size for 2 couples. It was very clean and had everything that we needed. It was in the perfect location to everything that we wanted to do. I would highly recommend staying here.
