🌲🐾 Remember those signs I was making for Panthers Inn?

They're finished and finally in place!

I started with a couple of pieces of cedar and decided to make the signs myself. It took some time, a little patience, and a lot of wood burning, but I'm happy with how they turned out.

Now guests have a proper welcome when they arrive at Panthers Inn. ❤️

One more little project finished, and another piece of this place made by hand.

I decided to try something new and do a wood burning on one of the balcony posts at the treehouse.

This is my first attempt at shading, so I’ve definitely got plenty to learn. It’s not perfect, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out—and I really like that it’s something I made myself that will stay here at Panthers Inn.

I already ideas about what I want to do on the other side. 😉

🌲 A little Panthers Inn project I've been working on…
I picked up these cedar boards today, and I'm going to turn them into signs for Panthers Inn.
The signs will have PANTHERS INN and the address:
455 Panthers Den Rd.
I'm planning on wood-burning the lettering into the cedar. It's going to take some time, but I think the finished signs are going to look pretty cool when they're done.
I've got the template printed out and now comes the fun part… getting it all transferred to the wood. 😁🔥
I'll share the finished signs when they're done!

🥵 HOT ENOUGH FOR YOU YET?

Meanwhile, I’m over here thinking about this… 😂❄️

Winter at Panthers Inn. 🌲

There’s just something about a snowy treehouse, a warm fire, and being tucked away in the woods that makes me look forward to winter.

Who else is ready for cooler weather? 🙋‍♂️❄️

❤️ Some stays are about more than just getting away.
This review meant a lot to me. Knowing that Panthers Inn could be part of someone's journey during such an important time in her life is something I don't take for granted.
I’m grateful she chose to come, explore the wineries and hiking trails, and spend some time here.
Thank you for sharing your story and for trusting me with your stay. ❤️

🐿️ A little wildlife watching at Panthers Inn.
Buckley spotted a squirrel heading up the tree and wasn't about to let it out of his sight. 😂🌲
Sometimes the best parts of a stay are the little moments you don't plan for.
