BEST LOCATION ON THE WINE TRAIL! 3 Minutes to the Vineyards! Big Groups Welcome

We had a great trip and stay! We did not receive the arrival instructions so the arrival process was confusing as we were “sharing” the loft with another group of people (we stayed in the back of the loft). Just make sure you receive these instructions. Once we got passed that, the place is so clean, has everything you could need, beds are sooooo comfortable and it is the BEST location for the wine trail as it’s rifht in the middle and close to many of the wineries. Would definitely go back here!

I do not think you can put 10 people in a room. We had 8 in one room and that was plenty with one bathroom. Otherwise we had a great time rooms were really nice. Great place to stay if you are going on the winery trail.

The loft was a great place to stay for those wanting to visit Southern Illinois. More affordable than some of the surrounding cabins and had a modern decor. Brian was a great host, he knows the area well and was around when we had questions or needed something. He even gave us a recommendation for a winery shuttle that was much more affordable than what I was quoted from other companies. I hope to visit again!

This is my third year staying at one of the lofts, and there’s a reason I keep coming back. I absolutely love the character and location and the owner is always attentive and very helpful and friendly. It’s clean, well stocked on everything you might need, and provides some privacy without having to be in a more rural cabin- every time I’ve stayed here, there’s been another group in the other loft and we’ve never heard or been disturbed by them and, to my knowledge, we’ve not bothered them which is great for a getaway weekend. I recommend the loft to all my friends planning a trip to Shawnee!!

PS- I reviewed the loft after my last year’s stay and apparently only left 4-stars, not 5. I swear this was an unintentional error as I meant to give the highest rating available. I hereby publicly apologize to Brian for any negative impact that review may have had on his score or his moral! I truly meant to leave a 5!!! VRBO, please allow my score from this year to trump last year’s and erase it from memory!

Nestled quietly in Alto Pass.

A great place to stay for a quiet getaway, very clean and fun contemporary decor. The owner is very attentive to any needs and provided great restaurant recommendations.

We came on our motorcycles and enjoyed some great ride roads in the area.
