Panther's Rest Farm and Coffee Roasters

this place was so cute and comfortable! we came to the area for a family reunion and rather than board our dog we really wanted to bring him with and still have the comfort of air conditioning and plumbing. This place was great for that and better. The ac was cold, the shower was warm, the bed was comfy and the coffee was delicious. If you are a bird watcher I highly recommend bring binoculars, updating your merlin app, and bringing a bird guide. There were so many birds around, it was so fun to listen and try to ID them.

It’s a tiny cabin in the woods with a nice little campfire spot and two nice Adirondack chairs. Despite being very hot outside the AC worked great and the memory foam mattress topper on the bed was soft and relaxing. Complimentary coffee too!

We had a fantastic stay at this cozy little cabin in the woods. This was our second time staying at Keith’s cabin because we just love it so much! It’s peaceful, beautifully maintained, and perfect for a quiet escape. The fire pit was a great touch—ideal for relaxing evenings under the stars. Keith is a great host! Highly recommend!

Keith’s cabin was fantastic. It was a perfect place to come back to after a days hiking in the area. It is very private in a beautiful woodsy setting. We would definitely stay here again.

The beautiful location in Shawnee national Forest was five out of five stars in my book. The helpful recommendations from not only the host and the previous people that have stayed there, really helped and set the pace for what we did highly recommend the canoe and kayak rentals not too far down the road. Overall, the place was beautiful and so was the location.

My husband and I had the best time at the barn bunkie! It was exactly what we were looking for - Quiet, relaxing and cute. We pulled up and were greeted by the world’s sweetest pets! 2 fluffy, friendly dogs and a very chatty cat. It didn’t stop there. Goats and horses galore! My husband works with horses so he loved that. I gravitated towards the goats as they are one of my favorite animals. The bunkie was cozy and had everything you need for a (somewhat) off-the-grid vacation (we recommend bringing a few board games as there is no tv). There is a ladder to get up to the bedroom, but it added to the fun! The bed is very comfortable. Keith and Becky were great hosts! Both very friendly and had great recommendations for food, vineyards and shopping. We will definitely be back!

Such a quiet and peaceful spot, looks brand new and very clean. It was really nice to make a cup of coffee and sit on the front porch watching the farm animals, great place to unwind. Would recommend to a friend passing through the area for sure!

This is a wonderful spot! Peaceful, relaxing, and beautiful surroundings. There’s tons of amazing hiking trails and parks within close distance! The delicious coffee roasted on the farm is also a major plus. Overall, Keith was a great host and very accommodating. Not related to the listing specifically, but make sure you bring bug spray. There are lots of ticks in this part of Illinois. I appreciated Keith’s warning on this as well. I would definitely stay here again!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay with Keith in the cabin—quiet, peaceful, restful. The bed upstairs was comfortable and clean, the kitchen was fully equipped, the cabin itself spacious and cozy. We spent a lot of time on the porch watching the woods or sitting out back with the fire pit. They kindly left skewers for us and we made some s’mores. Our fur baby loved all the outdoor space to roam. We went for many hikes and drives around the area. Keith was such a thoughtful host that there was nothing we lacked. We would love to return in the fall!

Absolute GEM! My favorite part was the barnyard melodies ✨️ I loved being surrounded by the beauty of nature and the variety of animal friends! The bunkie was perfect for a good night's rest after a long day of travel! The coffee was delicious! I purchased a bag to bring back to Minnesota and share the love! Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven!!
