About this property
Southern Charm in the Heart of the Midwest!
Step back in time, but leave no modern amenity behind. This Charleston style Southern mansion, located just one mile from Pine Manor, has five bedrooms, an old fashioned 5 bed attic bedroom, and 4.5 baths, the 10,000 square foot Oak Manor is the second largest guest house at Pine Manor Estates. It sits on over 10 acres with two private stocked lakes, private movie room, library and man cave with poker table. Enjoy warm Southern Illinois afternoons and cool southern cocktails on the grand porch, time seems to have a way of just slowing down to the perfect pace at Oak Manor.

About the host
Hosted by Betsy Modglin
The Gibson family has had their roots long planted in Southern Illinois. When thinking back to their favorite memories they were filled with family and the simple pleasures that live just steps off the beaten path. Their love for the area and Southern heritage that comes with it turned from a lifestyle into a dream when they acquired Pine Manor in 1998.
The Gibsons realized their desire to share the culture and luxury of the South and so opened the doors to the Pine Manor Estate. For more than twenty years, the Gibson family has furnished, remodeled, and restored Pine Manor. With the success and warmth the main house brought, the family went on to acquire several more houses, 125 acres of land, a farmhouse, and budding orchards.
This expansive, growing retreat is maintained with care and kept up in timeless elegance. The Estate has upheld the Gibson dream and has provided the perfect setting to reconnect with those around you- all while experiencing classic Southern country culture.
Betsy Modglin, Property Manager, has 10 years of experience with Vacation Rentals and has Premier Host status with all of the many properties she manages. Betsy has over 20 years of creating guest experiences that go above and beyond expectations.

Why they chose this property
Why we chose Carbondale:
The Gibson Family found so many people were enjoying the original Pine Manor Mansion that they bought the Gibson Guest House to be able to accommodate more guests. Soon they found themselves buying more and more homes in the Pine Lake subdivision and creating a resort-like feel throughout the entire Estate.

What makes this property unique
Oak Manor is spacious and full of charm. This sprawling estate gives everyone room to share but also room to spread out and have privacy. The double front porches are a guest favorite.
