The home was as described. It was comfortable, quiet and well maintained. The living area and each of the two bedrooms have separate AC/heating so that everyone can be comfortable. The location is excellent for visiting wineries along the wine trail. We would return!

Amazing Location in Southern Illinois
This is the best location to stay in Southern Illinois, the Shawnee National Forest, and the Southern Illinois Wine Trail. The house is literally ON a vineyard! Close to 2 other wineries, Rendelman and Flamm Orchards, and great hiking (Pomona Natural Bridge, Giant City, and Little Grand Canyon). The place was spotless, had tons of kitchen amenities, and the beds were comfy. Host was super responsive. We will be staying here EVERY time we come to Southern Illinois.

Excellent Rental, Everything was Perfect
Great location, right off the main road. 5-10 minutes to anything you need. The home is behind the Vinyard so it is private. The place was spottless and had recently been renovated. The furnishings were great quality and the beds were comfy. Adding in all of the little extras, makes this a 5☆+!

We loved Betty's Vineyard House
We had a great stay here. It was quiet, peaceful and in a perfect location for us. The kitchen was fully stocked (she even provided coffee, tea and creamer!) for cooking, the beds were the most comfy I've ever slept on, the linens were high quality and the place was spotless. The host was very responsive to our needs and communication was easy. We'd definitely stay here again.

Absolutely wonderful stay!
My husband and I travel a lot, and this was by far the cleanest vrbo and kindest host we have ever experienced! The air conditioning worked great, and the location of the house was tucked away in a quiet area behind a vineyard. The home is very well kept, and has everything you need. Beth is a wonderful and kind host, they let us arrive a bit early and check out a bit late too! The beds were very comfortable, and the wifi worked great. Highly recommend this place!

Seven months already!
This is our second stay at Betty’s Vineyard. Our first grandson lives nearby and although this trip was just the two of us we still wanted the space and comfort of home. As we were in town for a week, we were both able to work remotely without any issues. Everything is well stocked, clean and comfortable. The house sits off the road for privacy, peace and quiet. We will be returning!

Lovely! The house was everything we hoped for. Plenty of room inside and outside. Great setting for sitting outside, sipping some wine and relaxing at the end of the day, or sitting inside wayching movies when it stormed outside. Extremely clean, big bedrooms and bathrooms.

New Grandparents
We loved our stay at Betty’s Vineyard. We were expecting our first grandson the week of the 9/19 - 23; he decided to arrive 11 days early. Beth was amazing at accommodating our rescheduled dates. Morning coffee while watching the sunrise is the best way to start the day. The rooms were comfortable and large. The master is large and can fit the pak n play comfortably as well. The internet has been updated and we were able to work in between baby snuggles. As a mom of 5 (only one was with us; in addition to the one we were visiting) laundry has become a soothing chore. Being able to come home with no dirty clothes is a major bonus too! I love that some cleaning supplies were left accessible as we had the kids over for dinner and you want to be able to clean up after yourselves. They used the fire pit, while we snuggled with our grandson on the couch. We will definitely be returning soon and can’t thank Beth enough for accommodating our needs.
