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.

Great little cabin

We both loved the property and views from the porch. We saw deer everyday and enjoyed watching the wood stove in the evening. The cabin had everything we needed and was just what we were looking for.

Oasis in the Weeds

My husband and I had an absolutely lovely time at Maple Ridge Cabin. It has everything you need AND no WiFi or TV for distractions. Plus our dog was welcome and he really enjoyed getting to be out in nature and off leash. Thank you for a great getaway!

Perfect Escape!

We had a wonderful experience at the cabin. It was the perfect setup for two people and the dogs enjoyed it too! The cabin was clean and comfortable and the surrounding woods felt secluded and private. We enjoyed hiking in the nearby state parks and sipping wine just down the road at Blue Sky. Not having the distractions of WiFi and television were an added benefit. The hosts were kind and responsive to our requests. Overall a fantastic experience. Would love to escape there again!

This property is setup inthe country on some farm property. It is secluded, so there are a few neighbors a few acres away, and a paved road, gravel drive. The bedroom loft requires a ladder instead of stairs, so if you get up from bed often that could be inconvenient. I dislike the use of IoT and other data technology. While this is booked as a cabin, it has full bath and kitchen, A/C, and it was well furnished. You may need to bring extra linens, not sure how it works for a long stay. It is set up more like a small apartment than a rustic cabin. The amount of tech humming made this a displeasing stay, and I spent time sleeping in my car. I think individuals and property owners act like total creeps whether they are data hunting their customers, or if its part of the hospitality data pools, or that is society just hunting for data prey, being wrong and creepy, and reinforcing the stereotype of evil discriminating property owners. I will not book again because of the electrical components used in the building making me sick, and because of the antagonistic behavior of the property manager in regards to data stalking.
