Perfect location on the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail
This place was a great location to check out the wineries and also was very nice on the inside! Plenty of room for the six of us to celebrate a Bachelorette party. Brian was super helpful with recommending places to go!
Great Service, but misleading description
We stayed at Big Sky Cabin and I must say the service Brian provided leading up to our stay was incredible. He offered suggestions on area attractions, provided contact numbers, accommodated a few changes I needed to make and was always super courteous and quick to respond. On top of that, during our stay we needed a few items and his staff delivered promptly. 5 stars for service without a doubt!!! However, I will suggest that I think the description is a little misleading for Big Sky. It says it can sleep 20, but I would say it sleeps 12 at best (that's with 8 in a bed and 4 on couches). There are no sofa sleepers, so we were provided several air mattresses for the 18 of us that stayed for a bachelorette party and I'd call it a pretty tight fit. And sadly, the air mattresses had holes and the pumps didn't work - but as stated, his staff addressed the issue quickly! Perhaps charge full price for up to 12, but beyond that if you're provided air mattresses I feel a sizeable discount would be appropriate. The inside of this property was BEAUTIFUL though! We loved the separate living space and game room. Plenty of room to hang out and spread out, just not the sleeping space it says it has. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to attend to the outside of the property as much as the inside is addressed. A good power wash would do wonders to the entry way and would make a much better first impression as guests pull up! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the service everyone provided. We left happy!! Thank you, Brian!
Love, love, LOVE THIS PLACE!
We stayed in the rear loft for a girlfriends' weekend last weekend, and it was perfect! It was actually my second time staying at the lofts, and I won't ever stay anywhere else in Shawnee! It's the perfect mix of in town yet away from it all, and it has everything you could want or need. I highly (and reluctantly because I want it to be available the next time I make a trip down) recommend the rear loft with the private patio, and the owner, Brian, really does go above and beyond! You can't do any better than Alto Wine Trail Loft!
Great location, great service. Low key girls/bachelorette werkend
Perfect location. Good space. Brian was easy to work with. Slept 5 per loft very comfortably. Could squeeze in more air mattresses if needed. Toilet broke during our stay (it happens!). Fixed quickly. Brian easy to get ahold of and dropped off goodies! Thank you! Highly recommend!
Quaint little town
Alto Wine Loft was very nice...great location and accommodations. Brian took good care of us and we would highly recommend.
Wonderful graduation week-end.
We stayed in the Alto Wine Loft for our daughters graduation from SIU and had both units. We had family who came in from many states and this was a great gathering spot. There is definitely not room to sleep 20, it should be advertised differently I believe. Thank goodness my brother and wife were able to find another cabin to help sleep overflow. The units are clean and very comfortable and I would recommend this for getting away in beautiful southern Illinois or if you have an event at SIU. It's only a 30 minute drive into town and you are able to enjoy the beautiful countryside and winery's in the area. Thank you Brian for helping make my daughters graduation a wonderful memory with our family!
