The pictures of the cabin were not of our cabin. The one we stayed in was handmade. Pieced together and you have a hard time finding the light switches. Some are on the ceiling! The floors are sticky so we wore shoes the whole time. This cabin is about 150sf. The best thing about this place is that the bed slept very well.
Read everything about this cabin before booking. It is true to description, but I did not feel safe there. There was not an additional lock inside the cabin to prevent someone with a spare key coming in- and anyone could make a copy of that key. With the no service and the locks, we decided to go somewhere else for peace of mind. We did not receive any refund.

Very rustic quiet getaway. I love the creek so close to the cabin.
NO WIFI, NO PHONE CONNECTION, No Internet....
If you need seclusion then this place is so-so but not good.
The people are responsive but it's only worth about 30 or 40 bucks per night. I paid almost double that price & I WON'T be back.
Beautiful quiet cozy cabin on the side of a beautiful creek

Panther Creek Cabin Wwekend Stay
The location was awesome. Had a little trouble finding our cabin, but all worked out in the end. Great stay in the mountains. A little weird to have a jetted tub in the living room, but only a one room cabin

We loved this place. Although all cabins are on the road, we may have seen 5 cars a day drive by. The property is 3 miles up the mountain from the main drag in Cherokee. We felt secluded.
The fire pit in the front is fabulous. We could hear roaring Wright's Creek behind the cabin.
The cabin was clean and inviting. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen is supplied with a mini frig, a hot plate, coffee maker, blender, toaster, toaster oven, microwave.
It is definitely a place we would go back to.
I loved the place overall! I feel there should be another set of stairs at the other end of the cabin to make entering the 3rd cabin a lot less noisy for others staying.

We absolutely loved our little cabin.. hot tub on the back porch a total win! Nice and quite spot. Great for couples to disconnect from the world and reconnect with each other.. not far at all from anything but yet far enough away to have peace.. every time i come up from now on, im definitely staying here! Amazing price's too! I cant stop raving and talking about it..
Thank you!!
