Located in Greenville, the Belmont Plantation is touted as the *last antebellum mansion standing in the Mississippi Delta*.

Exuding history, the majestic mansion was constructed back in 1857.

The epitome of grandeur, it’s no surprise that the historic structure is now a popular B&B and wedding venue.

However, many are unaware that the rooms inside the mansion aren’t the only accommodations available for rent. The grounds also include a cabin, Panther Burn Cottage, which is available for rent by overnight guests.

Aptly named, the cabin was originally part of the Panther Burn Plantation, which wasn’t located far from the Belmont Plantation.

The cabin was constructed back in the 1830s. Originally inhabited by slaves who worked at Panther Burn Plantation, it went on to be used as a medical office for local farmers.

After being meticulously restored, it’s now a cozy abode that’s perfect for couples.

And while great care has been taken to retain the structure’s antiquated charm, it’s been outfitted with all the modern-day amenities you could want, including AC, heat, wi-fi, and a smart TV. Guests of the cottage aren’t confined to its cozy quarters, though.

Those staying at Panther Burn Cottage are welcome to explore the Belmont Plantation and take advantage of common areas, such as the home’s huge screened porches. And don’t forget – a stay at the cottage includes breakfast in the mansion.

Boasting history, ambiance, vintage charm, and peace and quiet, Panther Burn Cottage has got it all!
