We are in the heart of the southern Illinois wine trail and just a few miles from Bald Knob Cross, gorgeous hiking areas and bike trails. You will love Havisham House. This house holds historic charm and is tastefully decorated. Very clean, spacious and private. You don't just get one room, you have the entire home. This stately Main House offers two beautiful bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a full kitchen, parlor, living room, formal dining room, breakfast/sun room and a spacious and relaxing covered front porch. The living room has private doors, a gas fireplace and comfortable queen sleeper sofa. Main House sleeps up to 6 adults. Not a child-friendly home, only due to antiques, hardwood floors and staircase. But, we definitely allow children. Havisham Bourbon, Brew & Spirits is adjacent to this property. They serve food, wine, cocktails, beer & have over 300 whiskies in stock. See website: havishamhouse.com Why did we name it "Havisham House"? Have you read Great Expectations by Charles Dickens? Main character, Miss Havisham, lived in the Satis House, a ruined mansion. This property immediately reminded me of this classic novel when we found it in 2015… abandoned and heavily damaged from a severe tornado. (Please see "before" pictures at havishamhouse.com.) Even with its extensive damage, we fell in love with this property and had "great expectations" for its rescue. We think you will truly enjoy your stay as you make wonderful memories in southern Illinois. We know you will love Havisham House as much as we do. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the marina ### Things to do - Bicycles - Basketball nearby - Casino nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Bicycles - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/58000000/57130000/57120600/57120575/49a53649.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious 2 BR, 1 1/2 baths, hot tub, pool table, outside room, full kitchen Anna - Hot tub - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 162 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-08&endDate=2025-11-09&selected=57120575&PinnedHotelID=57120575&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Bar (on property)](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76280000/76272200/76272194/93751c77.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Havisham Bourbon Bar - Suite 18 - private, spacious, wine trail apartment Alto Pass - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Parking available - Fireplace 10 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-08&endDate=2025-11-09&selected=76272194&PinnedHotelID=76272194&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103090000/103080200/103080140/193ecf29.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful location in the secluded woods Pomona - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 54 reviews CA $138 CA $251 total includes taxes & fees Oct 28 - Oct 29 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-28&endDate=2025-10-29&selected=103080140&PinnedHotelID=103080140&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27140000/27131700/27131656/a9dcdc75.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wine/Bourbon Trail Carriage House, Cozy, Clean, Hiking, Shawnee Nat'l Forest, Alto Pass - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 43 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-08&endDate=2025-11-09&selected=27131656&PinnedHotelID=27131656&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32070000/32068400/32068377/725ec117.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Big Sky Cabin!
