Great location!
So many good things about this house- great location, so cute, stocked with snacks. My two complaints are 1) the furniture. The couch and chairs are flaking leather, and it’s all over the floors. You can’t lay on the couch, the flakes get everywhere then. I found them in the bed, in my hair… I think that needs to be taken care of. 2) we found a dead mouse in a trap under the couch. Really wish that would have been checked and dealt with before we got there. All in all, I do recommend this house still. Location is solid, it’s so close to wineries and the bourbon bar, and there’s a hiking trail right outside. And the store front makes for a cute getaway house.

Perfect location!
My husband and I enjoyed our trip so much! It was the perfect location for the wine trail. There is the neatest bourbon bar across the street. I definitely recommend stopping by there, as it has the coolest atmosphere. The home was very clean and in a quiet area. It was definitely a place we would stay again. I’ve already recommended it to others.

Great location to visit the wine trail. Property was very clean & loved the lush towels. The mattress was softer than I prefer. The living room furniture was comfy but faux leather cracked. The snack basket was a nice touch.

Small town feel
This loft is a perfect location close to several wineries in the area. Little traffic moved on the Main Street and this cabin is across the street to the Havisham Bourbon bar. There is a "Duty" store at the end of the block to purchase ice, snacks, and soda. The only annoyance was several dogs that roamed the street barking every night.

Modern/rustic
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!

We Loved Alto Loft
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.

So much to do…
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.

Family visit
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.

Perfect little getaway
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.
