This place is gorgeous. Everything has been perfectly remodeled and updated, but it still has a comfy, old fashioned look and feel. It's everything you look for in a weekend getaway! I haven't been here yet, but I've seen the pictures and can't wait to try it out hopefully this Spring or Fall!

Cache River State Natural Area is situated in southernmost Illinois within a floodplain carved long ago by glacial floodwater of the Ohio River. When the Ohio River adopted its present course, it left the Cache River to meander across rich and vast wetlands. Among the outstanding natural features are massive cypress trees whose.
If you want charm, history, modern luxury, uniqueness, beauty and class, you definitely want a Havisham wedding. We renovated our historic homes in 2016, and opened our doors as overnight rentals on the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, along the Shawnee National Forest in 2017. We began having weddings in our courtyard and in our main house, so we decided to build a 200 guest event pavilion in 2020.
If you have questions about our properties, local attractions, booking, or just want to leave feedback for our guest book, please don't hesitate to get in touch! Our staff is happy to help ensure your experience with Havisham is as charming and wonderful as our beautiful rental properties!

Both homes are private rentals. When you rent a bedroom in one house, you get the entire house! These charming vacation rentals are perfect for a couple's romantic getaway, a small group traveling the wine trail, hiking the Shawnee National Forest, visiting Bald Knob Cross, or any of the other wonderful attractions southern Illinois has to offer.

This place is beautiful! We stayed in the main house but they also have a carriage house right behind the main house that can be rented too. Each house will sleep 6 people. They also have a building that can be rented for weddings or family reunions and such. The house is decorated in beautiful antiques but has all the modern conveniences. There are 12 different wineries in the area and several orchards. Just make sure they will be open during the time you are planning to visit if that is what you are going for. Would highly recommend this property!!!

I highly recommend this venue for anybody getting married in the area! It really made our wedding weekend so special being able to have a suite large enough to accommodate our whole bridal party. Not to mention how sweet and helpful Jerri, her husband and staff were. They came by several times to make sure everything was running perfectly! The bar staff was also great! I had mentioned the week before about wanting to serve hot beverages to my guest during the ceremony and they were able to provide it and made it such a perfect touch for my ceremony. The venue is just absolutely beautiful! 10/10

It’s hard to find the words to describe how awesome this property is. We have stayed at both the carriage house and the main house. The work on the renovation is second to none. They left the look of the era from which these house came, but have the modern touch’s you need. We will stay again in the future .

This was a great choice for my wife and I to spend an anniversary weekend. The home featured many modern day amenities in a fantastic country style. There was great craftsmanship in every corner of the house. On top of that, it was perfectly located in the heart of the Shawnee wine trail for. We visited 6 vineyards during our short stay here. We were also able to visit Bald Knob Cross, which I would recommend. The host of the house was very polite and prompt in all of our communication regarding our stay. I would highly recommend the Havisham House to anyone looking to enjoy the area and we can

The home exceeded expectations in every way. The kitchen was modern in accommodations, but held on to the country heritage you would hope for. The bathroom!! The bathroom was ASTONISHING! We were constantly finding something we hadn't seen yet throughout the home. The home is perfectly located in the midst of the wine trail. We were able to visit many of the local vineyards and two orchards during our stay. Even better than the home, was the host. Exceptional communication from before the moment we booked. Never did a question go unanswered, and always polite. I would recommend the Havisham House
