House holiday rentals in Southern Precinct

This house is amazing. Breakfast while overlooking the horse pasture, dinner out on the back deck. Everything in the house was spotless! The shower was so great. It had good water pressure! The beds were so comfy, I got the best sleep here. Better than I've gotten in a long time! The pool was clean. My kids enjoyed it, even though it was chilly out! They also enjoyed the games in the garage. My kids loved the popcorn machine, what a fun touch! The location is perfect. It's out in the country, but close enough to other towns that a run to the store doesn't take all day. It's very close to several Rend Lake Day Use Areas, which makes going out fun and easy! 10/10 Will stay again.

Indoor pool was great! Travel size shampoo and conditioner were provided in all bathrooms, as well as plenty of towels. Nice house right on the lake!

Four of us stayed in Lisa's place for the weekend and we had more than enough space. The outdoor area was definitely our favorite amenity. Sitting outside anytime of the day with a beautiful view of the bluffs was special. I highly recommend staying here if you're in the area. It was a wonderful time.

Loved staying at this location. So close to restaurants and shops and outdoor adventures. Very quiet. Amazing views of stars. Plenty of sleeping spaces. Very responsive and helpful host!

As we were making our way north from Alabama, this momma was getting sleepy! I seen this, that was already saved in my favorites, and messaged Kenn! He responded within the same minute! He was so sweet and making sure to wait up on us! Then during the stay he made us feel like we had known him for years! He was sweet to my daughter and my pup! And just when we thought we was a wonderful as it gets, sir Kenn came to our rescue getting the keys out of my locked car! I will always think of Kenn as a friend and he will always have a special place in my heart!

This quaint and cozy place was a perfect stay for our road trip. The patio was a great spot to enjoy dinner! The weather wasn’t the best but we made the best of it and did enjoy the pool for a bit.

Beautiful home - we felt very comfortable and enjoyed our time there.

We absolutely recommend! A beautiful location and a beautiful home! It was so relaxing and peaceful! The host went out of their way to make us feel at home. The home has a beautiful location and plenty of privacy. It was very clean and comfortable! Would absolutely book again.

This was our second visit to Alto Cabin and we love it! It was pretty new when we first went, and now they’ve added a lot more touches that make it great like yard games and more kitchen supplies. We enjoyed lots of day trips for hiking and lounging in the hot tub at night. This is a place to go relax, not a place to go if you want the big city. Carbondale & Marion are both pretty close by and there are stores and a good butcher in Marion. The cabin is well equipped for cooking and has good WiFi for all your screening needs. We needed to contact the host one time for a question and she answered immediately. We are lucky to have found Alto cabin!

I went to SIUC many many years ago and never visited Giant City. We came down to visit the campus and Giant City and Theresa’s place allowed us to bring our pet and was a great location. It was clean and nicely decorated at a good price.

This place is such a sweet retreat from busy highways and from the world! Our stay was short as we were en route but it was a wonderful respite and all of our needs were met. We would definitely stay there again!

Our stay at this lake house was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the thoughtful touches and attention to detail. The living room’s large windows, provided breathtaking views of the lake. It had every appliance and utensil we needed, along with thoughtful extras like spices, oil, and coffee filters. The bathrooms were equipped with ample towels and toiletries. We enjoyed peaceful mornings on the deck, sipping coffee, cruising the lake, and watching the wildlife. The quiet surroundings made it easy to relax and unwind. We can’t wait to come back and stay again!!

My kids and I were HUGE fans of this cool house. It will meet or exceed all your expectations as such a highly-rated home. For me, it was little things that elevated it even further: great bedding and towels, outlets everywhere, cool lamps and lighting. That might sound silly, but if you travel a lot you begin to notice it’s the little things that separate deservedly-great homes from truly special getaways. Kris’ home earns its place among with truly special.

Our stay was wonderful! With in driving distance of the things we wanted to do but so quiet and peaceful when we got back!

Loved the place, nice and clean. The bed was comfy too, and the neighborhood felt safe. The only thing I would add to the place is a fan or a white noise machine because you can hear traffic driving by at night and in the morning. If you are sensitive to this, you may want to consider bringing your own white noise machine.

This home is so beautiful, clean, spacious and the location is great! We loved that we were able to bring our boat and use the dock. We had the best time! Would highly recommend. :)

We booked this house for a bachelor/bachelorette trip with 13 people, and we had the best time. The house is amazing and big enough for all of us to have our own space. It stormed our first night and the power went out. Generator kicked right in, and Marcie messaged me to check on us. Could not recommend more!!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Andrew’s place. The home is set in a serene area and was the perfect place for us to stop and unwind after a long day road tripping. The house was super clean and beds comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. We actually wished we could stay longer! Highly recommend!

Our group had a wonderful time! Great location with approximately 15-30 minutes to most nearby attractions including Little Grand Canyon Trail and Alto Pass Vineyard. The house appeared well kept and accommodated our group perfectly. The back deck was peaceful. Ashley responded promptly to all of my messages and was very nice and professional. We hope to return in the future!

My husband & I enjoyed our stay at Kennedy’s Place. The hosts are super nice & friendly! Rooms are large & appliances are updated! The house is decorated with historic & cute pictures, along with a beautiful picture of Garden of the Gods. Antiques decorate the home, which I love! The backyard is huge & my husband & our dog spent many hours sitting outside & relaxing next to a fire pit. I highly recommend staying at Kennedy’s place! And if you are looking for restaurant recommendations, Morello’s has scrumptious lunch & dinner entries & Mackie’s Pizza has been a favorite of locals. You can even get apples on your pizza! It is delicious!

Lovely place, I would absolutely consider staying there again. My friends and I all enjoyed our stay.

JR was quick to respond and friendly. We went there for a fishing trip and it did not disappoint. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of space for the 4 of us. Could easily do 6 people. The porch swing was really comfortable sitting on at night enjoying lake life. The covered pier was awesome! Electric to plug in our boats, lighted and a nice little fish cleaning station. It was a great deal and we hope to go back again soon!!

We had a great weekend at Lena’s house. It was very clean. A very nice place to stay out of the way and secluded in a very quiet setting. We highly recommend staying here!

We loved our stay at Perkins Place. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The grounds are beautiful aand tranquil.
