great location for exploring the Shawnee Forest area

Cozy property, but more than capable to support a family of 4 and our dog as we made it our 'basecamp' between local state park hikes. Very clean and well laid out with full kitchen amenities, and an awesome little winery and tasting room literally next door...which we sat outside and played bocce with the dog including.

We loved Betty's Vineyard House

We had a great stay here. It was quiet, peaceful and in a perfect location for us. The kitchen was fully stocked (she even provided coffee, tea and creamer!) for cooking, the beds were the most comfy I've ever slept on, the linens were high quality and the place was spotless. The host was very responsive to our needs and communication was easy. We'd definitely stay here again.

Amazing Location in Southern Illinois

This is the best location to stay in Southern Illinois, the Shawnee National Forest, and the Southern Illinois Wine Trail. The house is literally ON a vineyard! Close to 2 other wineries, Rendelman and Flamm Orchards, and great hiking (Pomona Natural Bridge, Giant City, and Little Grand Canyon). The place was spotless, had tons of kitchen amenities, and the beds were comfy. Host was super responsive. We will be staying here EVERY time we come to Southern Illinois.

Excellent Rental, Everything was Perfect

Great location, right off the main road. 5-10 minutes to anything you need. The home is behind the Vinyard so it is private. The place was spottless and had recently been renovated. The furnishings were great quality and the beds were comfy. Adding in all of the little extras, makes this a 5☆+!
