What a beautiful home! Immaculately decorated and tucked away. Simply lovely with lots of room for the four couples that went on this trip. Close to Murphysboro and Carbondale and all the things to do: wineries, breweries, etc. Bonus: Everyone got their own bathroom!

Even better than we had hoped. Everything worked perfectly and the property inside and out is beautiful. It was ladies time away from care giving and we were able to relax and rest. We loved the sun room and had hours of conversation there.

Wonderful, quiet locale Carbondale

Our family arrived to a beautifully decorated house after a long day of travel. They were able to relax and decompress in this great location just west of Carbondale. We had easy access to shopping, restaurants and recreation areas Park

This weekend we had a short family vacation with our grown children. We spent the weekend hiking at Little Grand Canyon and Giant City and just spent time together at the house cooking together and enjoying the resort pool. The house was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a fun weekend. It was quiet and private, but still close to shopping (Walmart is only a mile away). We will remember this place for future family trips. Thank you.

Third time staying in Pine Manor

This is the third year in a row we’ve stayed in one of the properties in Pine Manor. Each time we’ve stayed in a different house and each time it’s been 5 stars! The houses are so well maintained, clean, and the communication with the staff is always excellent. We love the beauty of Carbondale and Murphysboro. Great restaurants, wineries, Gian City, Shawnee National Forest, SIU, and friendly people. I highly recommend this house and any of the others.

Amazing place!

We absolutely loved this property. We were in Carbondale with family celebrating a birthday, college graduation, and Christmas. This place was perfect for entertaining family and friends. Communication with the owner was excellent. We will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Stay

Will book again! Pictures are accurate, but place is even grander in person. Lots of extra offerings and nice touches. Exit plan was easy too, didn’t ask for too much done at check out. Great house for couples with all the nice bathrooms. Exceeded expectations.

Heaven in the Woods

This beautiful, well appointed house, on a large, beautifully landscaped acreage, is the best VRBO stay we’ve experienced. It is located in a very nice, quiet neighborhood convenient to Carbondale and Southern Illinois. I will visit here again.

Will definitely return!

If you are using GPS to get there, use google maps. It was the only map that was accurate. Everything about our stay was wonderful. Spacious, clean and lots to do. You absolutely cannot go wrong, here. We have family in the area and traditionally stay in a hotel. This was so much better! We will definitely be returning the next time we visit the area. 10/10

Family vacation

Overall very good. Only disappointment was the pool area was a little rundown and internet was somewhat unstable but landlord sought to remedy and even offered another home as replacement.

Wonderful stay!

The house was very clean and had everything needed for the long weekend! Access to the pool and lake is a great benefit. Betsy was very helpful when I had to call her late at night for a door entry issue; she was very polite receiving a late call and got the issue taken care of right away. We will be back!

Private Oasis

This house surprisingly accommodated three couples and a couple of teenagers very comfortably. We all took advantage of fishing, paddle boats, swimming, and tennis which are all just a short walk away through this private neighborhood. We enjoyed the bonus hot tub and grilling in a very quiet and private, wooded setting. We would definitely do it again!

Great family place

Wonderful floor plan. Love 3 ensuites! Kitchen was great. Only 6 dining room chairs for sleeping 8 people, but we made do. Lots of light colored furniture if you have young humans. There is a great yard. We didn't use the hot tub or the pool, but will when we come back in 2025.

Top Notch Accommodations!

We stayed at this home for our daughter’s graduation from SIU with family. The house is fabulous and everyone commented it was a wonderful place to stay. Only 8 mins to SIU campus, but out of the rush of all the traffic that was in town. The mattresses were super comfortable! While we didn’t use the pool or pond, we certainly would have if we had more free time. Highly recommend!!

Lovely

This was part of a larger family weekend and this house was lovely. All systems are in place to make sure everything is set up, clean and beautiful before arrival; the system works very well. Kitchen top of the line, coffee amazing. Pine Manor itself has things family can do or just walk, beyond activities in Carbondale..
