Crossview Cottage - Direct view of Bald Knob Cross

Escape the pace of everyday life and experience the beauty of Southern Illinois wine country at Crossview Cottage, a cozy retreat nestled on the grounds of The Peachbark Winery in Alto Pass.

Wake each morning to peaceful views of the surrounding vineyards and the iconic Bald Knob Cross. Spend your days exploring the Shawnee National Forest, visiting nearby wineries, breweries, hiking trails, and local attractions before returning to relax on your private screened-in porch with a glass of wine and a breathtaking sunset.

Inside, the cottage comfortably accommodates up to four guests. The upper level features a queen bedroom with a private bathroom and beautiful, direct views of Bald Knob Cross.

Downstairs you'll find a private bedroom with a full-size bed, a fully stocked kitchen, a full bathroom, a comfortable sitting area, and a dining space, everything you need for a relaxing stay.

One of the things our guests love most is the chance to unplug. Crossview Cottage does not offer Wi-Fi, giving you the perfect excuse to disconnect from emails and endless scrolling and reconnect with nature, meaningful conversation, and a slower pace of life. Cell service is available for most major carriers if you need to stay connected.

Best of all, you're just steps from the winery. Stroll over for a wine tasting, enjoy seasonal events and live music, or simply unwind with a bottle of your favorite wine while overlooking the vineyards. With three wineries, a brewery, hiking, cycling, local artisans, and the scenic beauty of Shawnee Hills all nearby, Crossview Cottage is more than a place to stay, it's your home base for experiencing everything Alto Pass has to offer.

Whether you're planning a romantic weekend, a girls' getaway, a hiking adventure, or a relaxing wine country escape, Crossview Cottage invites you to slow down, savor the moment, and make lasting memories.
