“Reluctant Panther's Vermont retreat”
The Reluctant Panther Inn & Restaurant is a cut-above Southern Vermont inn — a beautiful well-kept property a short drive from town with walkable restaurants, spacious clean comfortable rooms with fireplaces, seating areas and jacuzzi tubs plus pond-and-mountain views, an excellent in-house restaurant whose chef aimed purely at guest happiness, and breakfast delivered to the door in a picnic basket. Staff escorted arrivals and handled easy check-ins; repeat guests call it their favorite. One severe dissent though reported a dirty run-down property with ants along a dining-area window seal.
