This is a beautiful home that’s centrally located to all the wineries. We had a blast and the owners were wonderful! Highly recommend.

We had a great time at the Havisham House. Wonderful accommodations and a great place to stay for our group of gals!

Immense respect for those that save amazing properties such as this. Our stay at Havisham House was thoroughly comfortable and enjoyable! Would choose to stay again if ever in the area.

We loved our weekend in Alto Pass. The wineries were beautiful, the house was lovely and had so much character! I would visit again!

This was the perfect relaxing location for our girl’s trip. The house was absolutely beautiful. Pictures don’t do it justice.

Highly recommended

The house is a gorgeous mix of old and new, situated in a quaint town with really nice nature all around. Definitely a neat place to spend some time at or book your wedding at. Works best if you can fill up the sleeping spaces, so then you can take full advantage of the formal dining room. Gerri and Nick are very responsive!

What an amazing home and beautiful setting! Wonderful host, too! We had such a relaxing and enjoyable time. This has become one of favorite new places...we plan to return soon.

Lovely home from the late 19th century that has been beautifully restored. Had an issue with the HVAC upon arrival and the owners were very quick to respond and got the problem fixed. Enjoyed my stay and would stay again. Highly recommend the soaking tub!

The Havisham House is perfect for any occasion. It’s one of those houses that you see from the road and wonder about. The restoration is beautiful.

Smooth communication ahead of stay -- we appreciated the industrial about wine trail covid schedules! Nice little town with easy access to several wineries and a great little trail. Beautiful home with thoughtful amenities.

Jerri was amazing as always. The Havisham House was BEAUTIFUL and we cannot wait to come back!!

We have stayed at Havisham House twice and both times had a wonderful experience. The decor is breathtaking and charming. We enjoyed visiting the wineries and soaking up the beauty of Southern Illinois.

Excellent experience. Located near hiking and biking trails, amazing views.

Lovely home, and conveniently located by a variety of great hiking trails.

Wow! This house looked great online, but the pics don’t convey the “feeling” it provides. It had so much character that we truly can’t do it justice in words. Every room has been classicly decorated and planned out. The AC worked great and the place was immaculate! The owner is terrific to communicate with and she made us feel very welcome and valued as customers. We have been staying in the area for 20 years and this house is our new favorite!

Not enough words to describe how great the property is; but will try. Phenomenal, breathtaking, peaceful, historical, and full of character. There is so much to do in the area. Wineries, wineries, and more wineries. A trip to Cape Girardeau is only 45 minutes away. Thank you for the opportunity to stay here. We will be back.

Havisham House was the perfect spot for a relaxing, girls' weekend! And Southern Illinois, with its lush forests and rolling hills, was an ideal locale for a social distancing getaway! After busy days of driving to take in the scenery - with stops at the wineries for curbside delivery - this beautifully appointed, yet comfortable and cozy Victorian house felt like "home".

It was just what we were looking for — a few days of luxury — wine, soothing baths, evenings by the fireside and candlelight, and sunny morning breakfasts. And then an unexpected plus — the picturesque country, winding Shawnee Wine Trail

This property is stunning and in a fantastic location to enjoy the wine trail. You won’t be disappointed with the amount of space, amenities, and overall beauty of the Havisham House!

What an amazing house. We loved the bathroom, the porch, the kitchen, I could go on and on. The renovation is nothing short of amazing. The whole property is just comfortable and feels like home. And the location is great with easy access to plenty of activities.

What a great experience and a wonderful property. This is our 3rd time visiting Alto Pass and by far the best. Looking forward to next year.

This home is so beautiful and comfortable. No detail has been overlooked. The renovation is stunning, and the furnishings are luxe. The home is large and situated on a gorgeous, relaxing property. The owner was very friendly in emails and quite accommodating to our needs. I have high standards, and I would recommend this rental to anyone.

Jerri was the perfect hostess. The property is beautiful and the house renovations are amazing. Everything is provided for you- just bring your suitcase and enjoy Southern Illinois and all it has to offer. A perfect mini vacation. Thank you Jerri.

Great place, very clean!! Awesome house with awesome bathroom & kitchen!! Very quite and with lots of room! High end touches on a vintage home!

We were impressed with the pictures, we were blown away with the property. The house was stunning, displaying great craftsmanship in every corner. Beautiful stained glass, some antique furnishings, and a bathroom that was amazing. Modern amenities with a country style made for a fantastic weekend in the heart of the Shawnee wine trail. We went to 6 vineyards during our short stay, and 2 of them are less than a mile away. We choose to utilize the wonderful kitchen and cooked two fantastic meals that we paired with our local wine. The communication with the host was very fast and polite. I always received a response in a matter of minutes. Jerri is a great host with a magnificent house. I would recommend the Havisham House to anyone looking to enjoy the area and we can't wait to plan our next stay.

Really enjoyed our stay at this immaculately restored property, very conveniently located to visit the numerous vineyards in the area.

History meets elegance and luxury. This has truly been a wonderful experience. This home is set in such a peaceful and in a beautiful part of the country. The scenery of this town is breathtaking . It is ideal for someone just wanting to get away. The home itself is a treasure and has been restored with such style and elegance. The owner has provided every need both in necessity and luxury. I can't imagine a better home to rent or a better experience. I truly hope I can come back someday. I give the owner in the home 10 stars for accommodating all that we needed and going above and beyond. I left today beyond inspired. -Grace

This is by far one of the best house rentals I've ever hard. It is truly a one of a kind architectural gem in a beautiful small town. The house has recently been renovated but keeps all of it's turn of the century charm. The accommodations are top notch and Jerry is an incredibly welcoming host. The two bedrooms upstairs are very private and the living room downstairs has two sets of french doors and a couch bed. The bathroom and shower are really well appointed (rain shower is great) and the kitchen has everything you need if you chose to cook - but there is such great food all around. It is perfectly located to all the wineries and hiking, but in a very small quiet town to get a true country home experience. I'd recommend this house to anyone - can't wait to stay again!
