Loved the coziness and comfort. A few minutes walk to a nice trail and in the center of a quiet and quaint small town. Mr. Young is one of the best hosts that I have had the pleasure of working with and we are repeat customers. Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic stay
I enjoyed my stay at the Alto Pass property. The house was very clean and comfortable. The location was perfect for visiting my family in Anna and Cobden and also a great spot for doing the winery tours. The owner was very easy to work with and contact. Thank you and we will be back.

Perfect location
We love Alto Pass and the nearby hiking and wine trail. Steve’s home can’t be beat. Thanks for hosting us in a clean, comfortable and all-around great place. And, if you stay here, grab breakfast (if you don’t want to cook or open a box of cereal) at Duty’s Grocery, just a quick walk away. And don’t miss the fish/chicken dinner on Friday’s at Giant City Lodge.

Relaxing and Peaceful
If you are looking for a place outside of Carbondale that is close to some winery's this is the location. This property is located in a small town but it is very quiet and neighbors are not an issue. It is very nicely decorated and Steve was very quick and easy to work with. We would definitely look to stay here again and would recommend it to others.
