About this property
The Bitty House Too!- Next to a winery!
Prime location in the heart of the Shawnee National Forest and wine country! Located on winery property with the best view of the Bald Knob Cross and 'mountain' in the area, this property has all the comforts you need to truly enjoy the best of what Southern Illinois has to offer. From hiking to cycling to bouldering to wine, bourbon, and beer tasting you'll have it all just minutes away from your cozy stay at The Bitty Houses. Enjoy a complimentary tasting at the Peachbarn Winery & Café just steps away from your door as you take in the impressive views of the surrounding vineyards and nature. No need to even leave Alto Pass as there is so much packed into this tiny town! Three wineries, a brewery, a bourbon bar, an award-winning farmer's market, two clay pottery artists, a high end resale store, a highly revered monument and beautiful hiking trails give you plenty to see, do, eat, drink, and enjoy during your stay here in beautiful Alto Pass. Come see us!
The Bitty Houses are an ideal location and setting to make your home away from home with fully stocked kitchens, comfortable beds, and powerful views.
