House Rules

*Absolutely no smoking of cannabis* We hope you are thrilled by your stay here in the Maple Ridge Cabin at Panther’s Rest Farm. Please treat it like it is yours, and we will take care of the rest. The area immediately around the cabin “should” be mosquito and tick free, but no promises. Bring bug spray if you wish to do much exploring. We have lots of trails and direct access to the national forest.

Accessibility

Neighborhood

We are in the country! There is a small grocery store, a few small restaurants, and two gas stations 10 minutes away in Goreville. For all of the normal chain stores you will need to go to Marion or Anna, either is about 20-25 minutes.

Guest Access

You may visit around the 52 acre property, however, be mindful of other guests, the host family, and animals.

Keith is an excellent host, great communicator, and super friendly. We had a wind storm come up on our second night. Keith came by to make sure no major branches were down. He was really on it! We really appreciate him letting us know of a couple unavoidable things going on at the cabin as well. This is our second time here and I know we’ll be back!

We had a wonderful stay at Keith’s cabin. The cabin was clean and peaceful. Keith was responsive, provided excellent directions, and accommodated our needs. There was delicious locally brewed coffee for the morning. We were able to take a little hike close by and were so thankful for some time in nature before having to get back on the highway to our final destination. We will definitely try and stay here again next time we are traveling through.

A beautiful, cozy cabin in the woods! While the weather didn’t quite cooperate for us, we still had a lovely stay. The wood burning stove made it really nice since we couldn’t have an outdoor fire, so that was great. We still hiked with the pups in the rain (luckily we checked the weather ahead of time and brought rain gear) so we were able to get out a bit. We walked to the farm to get firewood and saw the super cute coffee house, smelled great! The farm pups walked us back home which was cute. Keith was super responsive and approachable and his kids were super sweet, too. Great time!

We love this cabin! Keith and Becky are fantastic hosts, and we enjoy their little getaway spot. The cabin is clean, comfortable, and close to many trails. We love that we can bring our pup without any issues.
