Please NOTE: The heated Estate Pool (shared by all our guests) will remain open as long as weather permits.
Pine Manor Estates boasts 12 Guest Homes and the Van Zandt Guest House is one of our guest favorites. Clad in charming red brick and just steps away from Pine Manor Gazebo, this waterfront home features four bedrooms, three baths, and a powder room. This home is ideal for the family who wants to get away and experience seclusion while being close to everything!
Our first-floor master bedroom features a luxurious king bed and a large desk for working. A beautiful ensuite bathroom with a spacious shower and jacuzzi tub makes this room close to perfect. The view of the lake from the bedroom windows is an added benefit.
There are two additional bedrooms on the main floor that both boast queen beds with luxurious mattresses and bedding. These two bathrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom. The final queen bedroom is located 1/2 story upstairs and has an ensuite bathroom with shower.
Guests of Pine Manor Estates find the Van Zandt Guest House exceedingly comfortable and intriguingly familiar. Perhaps it's the charming red brick exterior, or the way the light at sunset meets the lakeside back porch that stirs the notion of a storybook retreat. Accommodations include four suites with king and queen beds, 3.5 baths, a living room, kitchen, formal dining room, and laundry to ensure the comfort of every guest.
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.
When staying at the Van Zandt 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 ecclectic 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!
