Beautiful Views from Every Direction

Please NOTE: The heated Estate Pool (shared by all our guests) will be open as long as weather permits. The private hot tub located at your house is available year round.

Pine Manor Estates features 12 Guest Houses and the Gibson is a family-favorite! One look at the sunrise from the vantage of the Gibson Guest House, and you'll understand why this is the original guest home of Pine Manor Estates. With stunning views across the lake and abundant natural light, a stay here is always in tune with the beauty of the surroundings.

Relax and sit on one of the two decks with a water view on each side of the sun room. Or simply enjoy the privacy of the large front raised patio with seating for up to 20 guests.

Let the sound of the fountain take all your cares away.

The exceptional Grand Floridian Master Suite welcomes guests with a four-poster king bed and a private sun room with wet bar overlooking Pine Lake. The attached master bath includes a spacious dressing area and Jacuzzi tub. The Master Suite is located on the main floor.

The softly lit Orange Blossom bedroom is furnished with a queen bed dressed in luxury linens for the height of relaxation. Guests will find a shared bath with combination tub and shower just steps away. This bedroom is located on the lower level.

On the lower level of the Gibson House, Seminole Orange combines furnishings and fabrics that infuse the room with a sense of exotic adventure. A shared bath with combination tub and shower lies just outside.

St. Lucie is found just off the lower level family room for an easy bedtime retreat. It offers two twin beds and access to a shared bath with heated floors, soaking tub and separate shower.

Guests are free to take a stroll through the Estate or rent a golf cart to buzz around. Walkers and runners enjoy the privacy and the local-traffic only streets. The Pine Manor Estates staff is available when needed, but never intrude on guest privacy. Our goal is to make your stay relaxing, refreshing, and memorable.

The Estate offers recreational opportunities within steps of your home. Take a paddle around the lake in our 4-person paddle boats. Or try your hand at catching crappie or bass with our rod and reels. Or if the family wants to enjoy some good old fashioned fun, just use one of our yard games like croquet, badmitton, or volleyball. And don't forget about the basketball courts and tennis courts. All equipment is provided at no additional charge to guests.

When staying at the Gibson Guest House, you will want to be sure to see all that Southern Illinois and the Shawnee National Forest have to offer. Whether you want to visit one or several of our 12 local wineries or be more adventurous and try the Shawnee Zip Line through the forest, there's something for everyone while staying here.

Giant City State Park and the eclectic town of Makanda are just minutes away. Drive through the park and experience the breath-taking beauty of the Southernmost Illinois rock formations or grab a picnic table and enjoy lunch by the creek. For the more adventurous, try your hand at rock climbing or walking the paths of the rocky terrain. And don't forget to stop in the shops of Makanda where local artisans never fail to disappoint.

Some other must-see locations include Cedar Lake, Garden of the Gods, Kentucky Lake, Burden Falls and so much more. Whether you love hiking, fishing, hunting, bicycling, horseback riding, or simply relaxing, Southernmost Illinois has something for everyone!

Multigenerational stay
We had a wonderful stay. Only thing to note for planning purposes is that the bathroom connected to the only bedroom on the main floor requires steps up and down from the shower. My mom is highly mobile (uses a cane and handrails) so she could stay downstairs with a direct walk in shower. There are 3 full (tub and shower) plus two 1/2 baths. The outdoor spaces were beautifully designed and furnished. The house is tucked into a corner with the lake behind. You will forget its in a neighboorhood. Fresh coffee every morning in the sunroom or on the porch was lovely. If I had known I'd stay an extra day and not leave the house. Bring groceries and staycation in this lovely home. (Wineries are close and evening performances at the fantastic SIU McCloud theatre.)

Took the family to southern Illinois for a quick getaway. The property was great. Really loved the pool and hot tub! The view from the back of the house of the lake was great! The kids and myself enjoyed the paddle boats! The entertaining area was quite large. Would be great for weddings, family reunions, etc.

Family Visit
The house was beautiful and very clean and had everything we needed and more. I came from Wisconsin with my family and my niece came from England to visit our family, who all live near Carbondale and surrounding areas. The thing we all liked about the house the most was the outdoor seating. There were so many places to sit outside with plenty of room for everyone.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Gibson House. It was perfect for our family visit, very clean and well stocked. It’s large and open common rooms are engaging yet has quiet, private bedrooms. The weather was perfect for lounging on the covered porches and we even caught a few bass from the lake.

Family Gathering
We rented houses in Pine Lake in order to have a place for everyone to gather as our family attended my mother’s funeral. We celebrated her life by showing old photos on the smart TV. We prepared meals in the beautiful kitchen which was fully equipped. We woke Sat. to a dusting of snow which just added to the quiet and serene setting. The enclosed sun porch provided a great spot to enjoy the rays despite the cold. Betsy was great to work with and responsive, communicating prior to the rental and during. It would also be a great location in the summer for outdoor activities.

Awesome place!
This place is very nice and is perfect for a family getaway or a guys golf trip since it’s so close to golf courses. The pond is great for fishing and the pool is so close you won’t ever have to leave the property if you don’t want to. I honestly never even talked to the property owner….which I don’t count as a bad thing….communication received was everything I needed so I never had to ask any questions. Property and everything about it was in great working order when we showed up and throughout so there was never a need for me to reach out. This place is awesome and I will definitely be staying there again!

We needed a sizable home to rent for two families with children and this was a great fit! The kitchen overlooked a pond/fountain and there was fantastic natural light throughout the house. We loved it! The house was kept very clean, everything was in working order, Wi-Fi and cable worked great. We want to come back during the summer.
