They say the grass is always greener on the other side, but if you ask us, the grass is pretty green right here. This must be "the other side". Beautiful & peaceful. You'll have to stay at Panther Cabin to see & experience for yourself. Like none other... Surrounded by verdant trees, hearing your own heart beat. Be at Peace and One with the Universe. Nothing but nature’s undisturbed, unmistakable hidden beauty surrounds you here in the Ozark National Forest, Ozone Arkansas. Top 'O the Mountain. The space Escape to one of the the most Magical Destinations on the Planet, what people here call Panther Cabin. A place where your Mind, Body and Soul will Relax and Become One with the Universe. Panther Cabin is the perfect retreat for lovers, animal lovers and hunters alike, plant enthusiasts, bird watchers, and entomologists. Here at Panther Cabin in the middle of the Ozark National Forest on Top of the Mountains in Arkansas, the wildlife is flourishing, and the forest provides a home for over 1,000 wild animals. Stay at Panther Cabin to enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience with Mother Nature. And the latest addition… I have purchased seven single and three tandem kayaks with oars and life preservers for my guests at a very nominal fee. Lake Ludwig is the perfect spot and only about 10 miles down the mountain from the cabin. Also perfect for the Buffalo River and the Mulberry River but that depends on the season and water levels. Lake Ludwig however is available pretty much all year round. Guest access The cabin itself is on 5 acres nestled in the middle of the Ozark National forest. It is off of a Forest Service road which is usually fine but depending on the weather can have some muddy spots. I would recommend some sort of SUV or 4 Wheel drive during the rainy season but not necessary. No one has gotten stuck yet. I also have an extra four-wheel-drive Expedition in case anyone needs it to access the cabin but no one has needed it yet. You might also want to have an SUV or four-wheel-drive to explore all of the many County and Forest Service roads up here on the mountain but not necessary. They are usually just beautiful and a little bumpy dirt roads. Other things to note To make your stay at Panther Cabin the best... most enjoyable & memorable ever... we've supplied Panther Cabin with not only you in mind but ourselves as well. Our family & friends stay there too. We want it just right... juuust... puuurfect. There are also some of the most special socialized cats who have taken residence outside the cabin. A very sweet addition. Great with dogs and people and will walk with you out on your property hikes and even lead the way. :-) I myself am usually allergic to cats but not these. :-). They are actually outdoor cats and kittens but Panther Cabin is there home. “Your own” vacation getaway home-away-from- home. Just how YOU want it too. Yes, of course we want you to come back over & over again. Join the family.
