We had a great stay and the property exceeded our expectations! The hot tub and fire pit are great, beds are comfortable, little extras like a snack basket and toiletries were a nice surprise, plus the location is ideal. Easy to get to hiking, wineries and restaurants! So relaxing and the perfect weekend getaway!
The host was easy to contact. The location worked great, right in the middle of most wineries. We really enjoyed our small trip!

Thank you for your hospitality and quick assistance to any need. The apartment was cozy, clean and comfortable. We enjoy very much our stay and would love to be back for sure.
Great rental! Clean, well stocked, the kind of place that is even nicer than the pictures. If you want to visit the Shawnee Forest for hiking, wine tasting, or need a place near SIU, this is a great choice
Great location and place to stay on the wine trail!
2 of if stayed here on an extended stay. Comfortable and clean place to stay! and easy access to hiking, wineries, etc. was able to work from here with the wifi available. Enjoyed having the private patio with gas grill and gas fireplace.and hot tub! Would stay here again when back in the area if we can!
We were visiting family. Enjoyed the stay. It was clean and kitchen was well stocked. Beds were just ok. We are in our 60ies and would have like higher, softer beds. All around a nice place to stay.
Property manager was very communicative when we had something come up last minute. Excellent customer service! Property was very clean, and well decorated. Several locations for food are very close, at least 1-2 in walking distance with good food.
My husband and I have stayed here twice now. Love the location and love the loft! It’s so cute, beds are comfy, hot tub and fire pit are great! Steve is quick to respond if we contact him. We will definitely be back.
Centrally located to all the wineries and was a great place to stay. Steve was super responsive to the few questions and we couldn’t ask for a better trip. The gas grill and fully stocked kitchen allowed us to cook dinner in and enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub each night. The beds were comfortable, AC was cold and furnishings were well appointed.
The property was perfect ,with the highlight being the hot tub....what a lovely way to reconnect with my best friends for my birthday! We adored the boutique Karma...TERRIFIC
This place, #5, has everything you need! A stocked kitchen and a patio with hot tub and propane fire pit are bonuses! 2 bedrooms (to note that the french doors don't seal off completely or lock). There are fluffy towels and a lovely shower head in the bathroom. This is a great place to enjoy your down
So cute, and perfect location! We enjoyed the wine trail during the day and walked to Bourbon Bar across the street in evening. Quiet and relaxing stay with everything we could possibly need. We will be back!
Nice property. We stayed in the back section with the hot tub which was nice. The Burbon Bar across the street was the high point. The trails and meals at Giant City State Park where also high pointa.
This property was more impressive than we imagined. It was so quaint and romantic. We absolutely loved it, and it had everything we needed! We will definitely be coming back!
Loved our stay at the Loft! Was so easy to travel the wine trail. The Loft itself was perfect for us. We were looking for a weekend of R & R, this was the perfect spot! Hot tub was a perfect spot to relax before hitting the wine trail and then a perfect spot to relax after a busy day to relax with a nice bottle from the wine trail.
We will definitely be back!
In the area for a wedding. Close to The Venue, several surrounding vineyards, fruit farms, trails, and outdoor activities. 7 minutes to Cobden, 17 Anna/ Jonesboro, 20 to Murphysboro or Carbondale. Beautiful area and perfect amenities. Comfy
Alto Pass Loft is a great property located perfectly close to wineries and other amenities, yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle we were looking to get away from. From booking to check-in, through our stay and check-out, was convenient and hassle free. The property is ADORABLE and exactly as shown in the pictures. Everything we needed was already there (kitchen items/spices/coffee, extra towels/toiletries). The hot tub was such an added perk and made our stay even more relaxing and enjoyable. Our host, Steve, was amazing with communication from booking to check-out and the welcome basket of snacks was super thoughtful!I would absolutely recommend Alto Pass Loft and being hosted by Steve.
My sister and I planned our trip and wanted to stay in Alto Pass (years ago I visited here with my mom). Rental was clean and had everything we needed. We did some hiking in Pomona - and there is a big trail right by the VRBO. Saw the Bald Knob Cross, which had family Christmas activities. We went to Murphysboro for shopping and dinner (Cummare's is sensational Italian!) and went to Carbondale Saturday night for the Lights Fantastic parade. Slight hiccup with wifi upon arrival quickly resolved by Steve our host. LOVELY WEEKEND!!!
This place has two nice-sized bedrooms, comfy leather furniture in the living space, and ample space throughout. The hot tub was the perfect temperature and just a few steps out the sliding door on the secluded deck. The water pressure is good in the shower. The four of us had plenty of fluffy towels for the hot tub and the shower. The floors are a little creaky but expected in an old building. The location is great - just down the street from the bourbon bar (serves more than bourbon), and right on the wine trail. There is also a fairly flat trail nearby that is an easy walk. My husband and two teens had a good time and plan to stay here again.
