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!

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!

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.

I feel rested and renewed.

The quiet surroundings. The furnishings and decorations in the house. The close proximity to Alto Pass and Bald Knob Cross.
