The Old South Comes To Carbondale with this Southern Mansion

An amazing home! The perfect secluded area, but still so close to civilization!! The two lakes right by the house were amazing. The movie room was so nice and we loved the pool area that was just a 1 minute drive away! The massive fridge, deep freezer, and ice maker were huge perks. Also every person had an actual SUPER comfy bed to sleep on. 10/10 super luxurious and resort feels for southern Illinois.

Very roomy. Everything was great! Betsy was very responsive.

Wonderful place to stay and enjoy yourself. It was calming and provided many places to gather and be together.

HUGE home. Very nice, very clean. Big bedrooms and living areas. We watched a movie in the theater room. Had a blast.

We are a group of ladies who have been friends for many years and have stayed many places. We loved it!!!

This is our second time staying at Pine Manor, but our first time in this home. What an awesome home and location! The home is classically decorated but still comfortable for our large family gathering. We Loved having the ice machine to load the cooler for the pool (which is also awesome!).

I cannot say enough how wonderful our stay was at Oak Manor. We stayed here for our daughter’s law school graduation and we had 15 family and friends join us. The house was exceptional. So clean and comfortable. We cooked all of our meals together and grilled out on the terrace. The property grounds are wonderful and we spent many hours on the terrace enjoying the views and comfy patio furniture. I loved having my morning coffee on the front porch swing listening to the birds sing. Betsy the property manager was very responsive and very kind in her communication. We all enjoyed the fancy coffee machine and comfortable beds. This property is outstanding and perfect for family get togethers. Every comfort is thoughtfully curated. We could not have had a more wonderful get away in this beautiful home.

This property was perfect for a group of college friends and our kids to reconnect. Plenty of space and luxury, not to mention close to the wine trail. We would love to stay again in the future!

I have nothing but nice things to say about this house and our experience. It was amazing, there were 10 friends staying for a weekend and we had plenty of space and privacy. We planned to cook and hang out and always worry about rental house kitchens not being well stocked with cooking essentials or place settings but it was the opposite, I’ve never been to a vacation property that was this well equipped. The kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, serving dishes, place settings, flatware, wine glasses and refrigerator space (there’s an extra in the garage!). The spaces in the house were comfortable and clean and gave us lots of opportunities to change scenery (coffee on the porch, breakfast in the breakfast nook, dinner in the dining room, dessert on the veranda). We did have an issue with the lower oven not staying on and I emailed the host, someone was knocking on the door to check on it within the hour. It couldn’t be fixed while we were there, which wasn’t an issue, but the response time was impressive and appreciated. We would definitely return, everything was clean, lovely, and high end. The bathrooms had toiletries, and there was a basket in the entry with extras like big spray and sunscreen to use if you forgot it. The extra touches were thoughtful.

We spent three wonderful days at this beautiful house. It was very comfortable, with plenty of room for our entire family, 12 adults and 6 children. There was plenty to do at the location, swimming, fishing, relaxing, as well around the area, horseback riding, parks, wine tasting. The hostess was very friendly and helpful, easy to reach and responding immediately to our needs. We give this location the best rating possible!!
