About this property

Maple Ridge Cabin at Panther's Rest

  • Secluded, yet convenient, we’re within 5 min of two wineries, ziplining, trail heads, and I-57. This is your unforgettable romantic wine country retreat or comfortable rest after hiking or travel.

    There is no TV or Wi-Fi (good cell signal though) but that is not why you’re here! Explore the vineyards, walk the trails, buy some of our eggs, and drink complementary on-farm roasted coffee!

    Maple Ridge Cabin at Panther’s Rest Farm is your gateway to the Shawnee Wine Country!
    The space
    The cabin is nestled into the hillside 200 ft from a quiet country road, the kind that has no lines. It is small (16’x20’) but comfortably and well appointed, especially for the wine and coffee lover.
    Other things to note
    If you have guests who do not want to climb the ladder, we can set up an air mattresses downstairs.
