About this house rental
Prime location in the heart of the Shawnee National Forest and wine country! Located on winery property with the best view of the Bald Knob Cross and 'mountain' in the area, this property has all the comforts you need to truly enjoy the best of what Southern Illinois has to offer. From hiking to cycling to bouldering to wine, bourbon, and beer tasting you'll have it all just minutes away from your cozy stay at The Bitty Houses.
Enjoy a complimentary tasting at the Peachbarn Winery & Café just steps away from your door as you take in the impressive views of the surrounding vineyards and nature. No need to even leave Alto Pass as there is so much packed into this tiny town! Three wineries, a brewery, a bourbon bar, an award-winning farmer's market, two clay pottery artists, a high end resale store, a highly revered monument and beautiful hiking trails give you plenty to see, do, eat, drink, and enjoy during your stay here in beautiful Alto Pass. Come see us!
The Bitty Houses are an ideal location and setting to make your home away from home with fully stocked kitchens, comfortable beds, and powerful views.
The Bitty House boasts an upper level master suite with a queen bed and en suite powder room and a direct view to the Bald Knob Cross monument. Downstairs is a private bedroom with a full sized bed, a fully stocked kitchen, a full common bathroom, a sitting area, small dining table, and a very relaxing screened in porch also facing Bald Knob Cross.
The Bitty House Too, located behind the Bitty House, has a private bedroom on the lower level with a queen bed. The main level has a spacious dining and sitting area, a fully stocked kitchen, a common full bath, a sleeping area with a daybed, and a cozy screened in porch. Enjoy the view of the Peachbarn Winery and vineyard from the back porch.
Upon booking you will receive a message with a link to order wine delivered and waiting for your arrival. No need to head out after that long commute! Just pour a glass from our remaining estate wine inventory and take in the beauty from your screened in front porch! Make your plans for visiting the wine trail, hiking, biking, bouldering, or shopping at the local artisan pottery shops. Alto Pass has a bourbon bar, two wineries, one with a brewery and distillery, two potters, and is home to the most amazing view in Southern Illinois, the Bald Knob Cross of Peace.
Just a short trip 'up the mountain' from you to look ON TOP of the Shawnee National Forest and see all the way to Missouri! A must see. Head up the scenic road and enjoy outdoor dining at the seasonally open Mase's place or take in finer dining at St. Nick's MDH brewery & restaurant on the airport runway in Murphysboro! And don't miss a visit to Rendleman's Orchards in Alto. A 150 yr old farmstand that is SO MUCH MORE! They are open seasonally also. Join us in the winter time for the quiet and beauty of the Shawnee National Forest, it's all yours on the off seasons!

Hosts communicated well and addressed our questions and concerns regarding our dog in the house. All the amenities were there. It was easy to come and go — no tricky parking nor obstacles into the house. We were visiting for a wedding and so it was a very convenient place for us. We enjoyed our stay!

The communication with Jenny was quick and accommodating. The most polite host my family and I could have ever asked for with such last minute plans! The decor of the property was adorable. The location was perfect to go visit the BaldKnob Cross of Peace. We absolutely fell inlove. Couldn't have asked for a better stay!!!!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2024
Quiet location and the views from the property were beautiful. Very clean and kitchen well stocked for one night. Stairs are tight and slippery, be careful. Be careful booking through VRBO, additional charges were added to our credit card and the owner would not honor the VRBO listing price. If we were made aware of the additional fees we would kit have stayed there. Booking was also non refundable due to last minute booking. Very disappointing situation.
