The stay was absolutely wonderful.

Accommodations were perfect. Very clean. Any and everything you need is available. The scenic area was amazing. A very peaceful setting; but plenty of action at winery (s) and places to visit not far. Perfect!

Tiny House Too

The cabin is a great place to decompress from a hectic life. The Peach Barn has a lovely menu of light fare. I'd recommend.

A much needed respite from the rat race.

The cabin looked just like the pictures. The beds were amazing. I was able to see the stars and that's getting harder to do in Southern Illinois. The Peach Barn has a lovely selection of light fare and wines.

Bitty House 2

So pleased I opted to stay here when I was in town for a wedding. The property is beautiful and was near the wedding I was attending. House was very clean and comfortable. I had a chance to meet one of the owners, Jennifer when I was at Peachbarn Winery and she was delightful. If you’re like looking for a place to stay in Alto Pass, I’d highly recommend staying here!

Perfect accommodations with a view

We can't wait to come back. Check in was easy, the place was very clean, the bed was comfortable and thoughtfully furnished. We had our dog with us, so we enjoyed sitting outside with our wine, but once the night time bugs came out, we moved to the comfortable screened in porch to settle in for the night. Being able to see the Bald Knob Cross was a bonus. Jenny and Scott made us feel very welcome.

New Christmas Traditions

We absolutely had a blast! Probably one of the best Christmases I had in over 20 years. The Bitty House Too was comfortable. The property was beautiful. Tons of hiking was available and of course there was wine. The winery is adorable. We will definitely be going back next spring and Christmas!

Such a beautiful, peaceful place to stay

Pictures do not do The Bitty House Two justice! The house was roomier than pictures show, it was very clean, very well furnished, the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed the view of the vineyard and even saw a bobcat passing through the vineyard. My elderly parents came over to grill out so the screened in porch work out perfectly! We enjoyed lunch, sangria and music at the PeachBarn! We’ve stayed at several cabins in the area and this one’s now our favorite! We’ll be back soon!
