My fiance went to SIU and lived in the area for a total of 8yrs, so he has been wanting to take me to Carbondale, Giant City, and many of the wineries in the area. The stay in Alto Pass is charming, I've never stayed in a 300 person town. We stayed in the front unit and it was comfortable, and extremely clean... no dust bunnies, left over food, or random unwanted hairs in sight lol. The town itself does have short trail right outside the front door, a small corner store, and a bourbon bar across the street. There is also a winery 3minutes driving. We will be back for SIU events and hopefully we'll be able to stay in alto pass again!

This was the cutest little place to stay. The entire town was so friendly. The little boutique down the sidewalk was adorable. So close to everything we needed. I will be back, for sure

What a neat little place! Great spot for a local wedding, wine tasting, and hiking. Southern Illinois has a lot to offer and this place was perfect for our stay. Very clean. Host was fantastic with great communication!

The location was great, the nearby park and walking trail were perfect for my family. Really close to two wineries and an orchard. Lots of amenities inside.

Everything was described accurately. We had everything we needed. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to cook a couple of meals. The place was clean comfortable. Check out the Bourbon bar across the street.

We went for our 29th Anniversary and stayed in the front unit of Alto Loft. We loved everything about it. It was absolutely spotless, well decorated, very comfortable, and in a great location with wineries just minutes away and a unique and beautiful Bourbon Bar across the road. We would recommend this place to anyone. It made for a fun, relaxing get away.

Great space, great location! Absolutely loved this place and would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay, everything about the place is just as described and presented in the listing. Prompt check in response and clear instructions from the host. Have stayed here in the past and plan to visit again in the future.

We stayed at the house for 4 nights. There is so much to do in the area, we wanted to stay longer. There is great hiking, great wineries and breweries. The Havisham Bourbon Bar is just across the street and a great place to relax and have a drink. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. It was easy to get into and parking was very easy. Hope to come back again someday.

We loved our visit to Alto Pass as we were meeting our great grandson. The area is very relaxed and quiet. The property is very well maintained and is extremely comfortable. Food storage is somewhat limited . Beds were comfortable . We will definitely stay here again when we return next year. Steve was very helpful with the one issue we had and it was resolved immediately.

My wife and I stayed here to do a simple getaway for our anniversary. The Loft is well equipped and was clean and comfortable. We felt at home there. Steve was quick to answer any questions we had. We enjoyed the trail which is just steps away from the rental. It was a nice quiet town. Not much in the town but the country store and a little clothing shop. But it’s a very cute town. And close to the wineries. Plenty of restaurants in towns close by. We highly recommend checking out The Iron Whisk in Cobden for breakfast or brunch.

Really nice place, clean and in a great location. Property manager was great and responded very quickly to any and all questions. Would definitely stay here again!

The house was great, just as it looked in the listing. We had one question for our host at arrival and he was got back in touch with us within mintues. Had a great stay. Would definitely come back!

Great for a 2 night stay. Close to all the wineries. Nothing to do in Alto Pass but wineries are close

We stayed in the front part of the building, and found it very nice. We appreciated the spices for cooking, and the basket of snack foods was a nice touch. It's within walking distance of an easy, level, shaded, nature trail, that used to be a railroad I think. We enjoyed our hikes on the trail. It was very secluded. There's a convenience store on the other end of the plaza, also within walking distance. We were glad for it as we needed a few small items. The only issue we had was that the wifi network was not functioning. They had provided a password but the network didn't show up. So service was spotty to nonexistent. (Not a big deal for us.) There were 3 wineries close by. We explored all three. We also enjoyed sitting out front on the bench and watching the world go by as the sunset and it cooled off.

This is a very cool and very beautiful property to stay at on the wine trail. It had everything we needed. It was comfortable, and close to everywhere we wanted to go.

Great property and were impressed with how well pictures on site accurate

We had a nice stay at the alto loft. Easy check in, great proximity to the wine trail and hiking, and nicely updated, clean space. Our only complaints was the bedrooms got a little warm at night. The owner did provide fans in each room though, which was a nice touch. And the connection for the tv wasn’t the best, as it kept cutting in and out. Since we didn’t watch much, it wasn’t a big deal, just something to be aware of. Overall a good stay and would most likely stay again when in the area!

Everything was as advertised and it was a nice treat to have snacks as well available. Easy to find and the check in process was easy. I would easily stay in this location again in the future.

Had a fantastic weekend at this VRBO in Alto Pass, IL. The place is darling with historic charm and modern amenities. We had the back unit which had a completely private patio, propane fire pit and a nice hot tub! You have everything you need. The location is really ideal, as it’s a few minute drive to 3 wineries (Alto Vinyards, Van Jakob and PeachBarn) and hiking places. Take a 10-mile drive into Cobden and eat at the Old Route 51 BBQ, but get there early as they sell out fast during the day (no dine-in service). We got the burnt ends and definitely get the Mac -n-cheese (holy hell it was delicious)! . There’s also a small cute winery in Cobden called Lincoln Heritage Winery. Definitely a great location if you’re looking for a fun weekend getaway!

Very clean, comfortable and quiet inside. Nice getaway spot within a few miles of several good wineries and hiking trails. The kitchen is well equipped, we should have brought more groceries

Very nice stay in a small town very private

Great cozy location that is centrally located in the heart of the Southern Illinois Wine Trail. Comfortable living space and bedrooms and includes everything you need for a nice weekend getaway!
