About this property

Please NOTE: The heated Estate Pool (shared by all our guests) will remain open as long as weather permits.

Pine Manor Estates boasts 12 Guest Homes and the Van Zandt Guest House is one of our guest favorites. Clad in charming red brick and just steps away from Pine Manor Gazebo, this waterfront home features four bedrooms, three baths, and a powder room. This home is ideal for the family who wants to get away and experience seclusion while being close to everything!

Our first-floor master bedroom features a luxurious king bed and a large desk for working. A beautiful ensuite bathroom with a spacious shower and jacuzzi tub makes this room close to perfect. The view of the lake from the bedroom windows is an added benefit.

There are two additional bedrooms on the main floor that both boast queen beds with luxurious mattresses and bedding. These two bathrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom. The final queen bedroom is located 1/2 story upstairs and has an ensuite bathroom with shower.

Guests of Pine Manor Estates find the Van Zandt Guest House exceedingly comfortable and intriguingly familiar. Perhaps it's the charming red brick exterior, or the way the light at sunset meets the lakeside back porch that stirs the notion of a storybook retreat. Accommodations include four suites with king and queen beds, 3.5 baths, a living room, kitchen, formal dining room, and laundry to ensure the comfort of every guest.

Guests are free to take a stroll through the Estate or rent a golf cart to buzz around. Walkers and runners enjoy the privacy and the local-traffic only streets. The Pine Manor Estates staff is available when needed, but never intrude on guest privacy. Our goal is to make your stay relaxing, refreshing, and memorable.

When staying at the Van Zandt Guest House, you will want to be sure to see all that Southern Illinois and the Shawnee National Forest have to offer. Whether you want to visit one or several of our 12 local wineries or be more adventurous and try the Shawnee Zip Line through the forest, there's something for everyone while staying here.

Giant City State Park and the ecclectic town of Makanda are just minutes away. Drive through the park and experience the breath-taking beauty of the Southernmost Illinois rock formations or grab a picnic table and enjoy lunch by the creek. For the more adventurous, try your hand at rock climbing or walking the paths of the rocky terrain. And don't forget to stop in the shops of Makanda where local artisans never fail to disappoint.

Some other must-see locations include Cedar Lake, Garden of the Gods, Kentucky Lake, Burden Falls and so much more. Whether you love hiking, fishing, hunting, bicycling, horseback riding, or simply relaxing, Southernmost Illinois has something for everyone!

About the host

Hosted by Betsy Modglin

Betsy Modglin, Property Manager, has 9 years of experience with Vacation Rentals and has Premier Host status with several properties. Betsy has over 20 years of creating guest experiences that go above and beyond expectations.

The Gibson family has had their roots long planted in Southern Illinois. When thinking back to their favorite memories they were filled with family and the simple pleasures that live just steps off the beaten path. Their love for the area and Southern heritage that comes with it turned from a lifestyle into a dream when they acquired Pine Manor in 1998.

The Gibsons realized their desire to share the culture and luxury of the South and so opened the doors to the Pine Manor Estate. For more than twenty years, the Gibson family has furnished, remodeled, and restored Pine Manor. With the success and warmth the main house brought, the family went on to acquire several more houses, 125 acres of land, a farmhouse, and budding orchards.

This expansive, growing retreat is maintained with care and kept up in timeless elegance. The Estate has upheld the Gibson dream and has provided the perfect setting to reconnect with those around you- all while experiencing classic Southern country culture.

Why they chose this property

The Gibson Family found so many people were enjoying the original Pine Manor Mansion that they bought the Van Zandt Guest House to be able to accommodate more guests. Soon they found themselves buying more and more homes in the Pine Lake subdivision and creating a resort-like feel throughout the entire Estates.

What makes this property unique

There's absolutely nothing like Pine Manor Estates in Southernmost Illinois or the Tri-State Area. Guests always leave saying they "can't wait to come back". It's one of those places that you just have to "see it to believe it."
