The kitchen was very well appointed. The best I have ever experienced. We always make all of our meals and we had everything we needed. This is a phenomenal property with comfortable furniture, perfect for entertaining and the bedroom layout gave the right amount of privacy for all. I highly recommend this VRBO for any future stays!
Possibly one of the best vrbos my family has stayed in. Kitchen is fully equipped and we cooked every night. The bedrooms offer comfy beds and linens with plenty of privacy.
The outdoor area is great…nice grill, firepit, and hot tub.
What an amazing stay at this beautiful property. We had 4 couples together for the NYs Eve holiday and it was perfect! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home.
This is a lovely home with great dining spaces for our group of 8 and a nice kitchen for cooking. The hot tub was not working when we arrived but Betsy was quick to respond and had it going within 24 hours. It was a great set up for 4 couples.
This is a remarkable property tucked into the woods just west of Carbondale. Beautifully appointed. Gorgeous screened-in wrap around porch. Amazing bedrooms with en-suite baths. This was a very comfortable weekend retreat for our family. Would definitely book again!

The house and its amenities are amazing and far exceeding expectations. It’s even more beautiful in person. The gathering area is superb with so many nice touches. The pool table and hot tub were a hit with our young adults. We would definitely stay at this location again and highly recommend it for families.
This property exceeded all expectations! The most amazing thing was the common areas. Lots of nice touches, well stocked, and thoughtful inclusions. This place was built for families and friends to be together! We will be back if at all possible!
This house is stunning the pictures don’t do it justice. Everything was great. It was a great place to celebrate our sons SIU graduation. Can’t recommend enough.
This lodge and property is so beautiful and incredibly relaxing. The hosts pay great attention to detail. Our family had the BEST weekend hanging out together and we will definitely be back! :)
This pristine property is jaw-droppingly beautiful, down to the finest detail. The rooms are spacious and the furnishings are magnificent. The location is close to city amenities yet felt secluded and private. It was a wonderful place for our family to celebrate Christmas under one roof.
Watching the sunrise through the giant windows in the Great Room was a transcendent experience. We wanted for nothing, as we had coffee, cookware, hot tub, kiln dried firewood, and all the pillows that one can fit onto a single bed. Everything was new and clean, and met every expectation. A wonderful treat that we'll remember.
I’m not one for lengthy reviews so I will not be here. Everything shown or written in the listing about this property is 100% accurate and the hosts are amazing. The stay will not disappoint.
At Pine Manor Estates, we are always seeking new properties that we think will delight our guests. With our owner, Wes Gibson's vision, this property was a no-brainer. Wes immediately saw the potential in this property and turned one of the "ugliest" houses in the neighborhood to one of the most fabulous houses in the neighborhood!
