"The woman who checked us in was very rude. We love staying at your hotel and I requested a room with a balcony. This was the second time that my request was not acknowledged but after some heated exchanges the lady finally gave me a room with a balcony. The room had a leaking commode and I tried to report it but the clerk spoke such broken English that it was hard for her to understand what i was trying to tell her. This is not the first time we have stayed at this hotel because of its location...

"My husband and I spent our 29th wedding anniversary at panther cabins. We had the best time. The cabin was perfect for us and romantic. The communication with management was wonder. Before perps when we we’re coming and the follow up after. Infact so much to do in the area. We want to bring the whole family when we do a vacation. That’s how much we enjoyed it. "

"Would give 4 1/2 overall rating if could! Tiny house was clean, comfortable and great location right on the river. Kitchen well stocked with glasses, dishes, stove, fridge, coffee maker and microwave. Easy check in and check out and communication with owner easy. Only complaint was the water in shower and kitchen sink smelled of sulfur. Continued smelling even after running for 5 minutes so basically avoided showering. Amazing stay overall!"

"If you looked up “cozy” in the dictionary, you’d see a picture of this cabin. It’s perfect for one or two people looking to run away from the world for a couple of days. What you miss in the amenities of a hotel, you make up for in privacy and natural beauty. There are cabins on either side of you but your front yard and back yard are wooded mountainsides. We were there in July while the trees were green and I bet it’s even more beautiful in the fall. The cabin was spotless and well-maintained....

"This an old house that needs updating and up to code. They camouflaged portions over existing walls. Live wires were not covered with blank receptacles m(downstairs in closet to the left) There were holes in many places. Especially downstairs bathroom. Caulking were not done correctly. One Recliner chair broken. From down stairs at night you can’t sleep for hearing the water going thru pipes or walls. Oven was filthy and refrigerator smelled like shrimp. Deck was overdue for pressure cleaning....

"This cabin was exactly what we were looking for in a mountain stay. The listing description was spot-on, and the pictures did a great job capturing the feel of the space. It was clean, cozy, and well-maintained. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like complimentary toiletries and essentials such as shampoo, soap, dishwashing liquid, paper towels, and even laundry detergent! One of the biggest perks for us was the location. The cabin was easily accessible right off the main road,...
