Log Cabin Pickleball Oasis, Seating for Everyone, 2 Hot Tubs, Games, Deer, Pets

Arrive under the trees, soak in the quiet, and watch deer while you sip a hot beverage from the coffee bar. At Deer Run Lodge, you get two fully equipped homes connected by a sunroom—space to gather when you want, and privacy when you need. Spend the day playing pickleball on the regulation court, grill on the deck, soak in 2 hot tubs, then end by the fire pit beneath the stars. Though it feels secluded, you’re minutes from restaurants, the Fox River, and less than 15 minutes from Raging Waves.

Things to note:

*Age: Primary guest must be 25+.
*Reservation Requirement: Within 24 hours of booking, the reservation holder must complete our secure, app-free Happy Guest verification link. Through one simple link, you will provide a credit card for the security deposit, submit a government-issued photo ID, and sign the rental agreement. Completion is required to finalize and keep your reservation confirmed.
*Damage Waiver Protection: Your reservation includes accidental damage waiver protection for eligible, unintentional damage that may occur during your stay. This protection does not cover intentional damage, excessive cleaning, rule violations, or other excluded costs.
*Security deposit: $500.
*Stairs & kiddos: The cabin’s top stair tread is shallower; railings may not suit tiny explorers. Families often place those needing single-level living in the Guest Quarters.
*Cameras disclosed: Exterior security cameras face entry/yard areas (including hot-tub zones) for safety, maintenance timing, and guest privacy—so we don’t interrupt you.
*Road: Private unpaved access road; drive slowly (especially with low-clearance cars).
*Parking: Limited; typically up to 7 vehicles depending on size and parking order—see photos for layout.
*Any visitors you may have during your stay must be included in your guest count and cannot exceed max occupancy.
*The last 0.3 miles of the drive in is on a dirt road. Due to some sections of that road only being 1 lane wide and the pot holes that develop after a rain, you will want to drive slowly and be ready to yield to oncoming traffic. The circular driveway is paved.

Wood Burning Stove:

Available only when outdoor temps allow—please confirm with host.
Wood Burning Stove Package costs $99 per stover for lighting and cleaning. $45 per cart of wood.
Package must be ordered at least one day before arrival.

Why groups love it

Reviews highlight an immaculate, thoughtfully stocked, “luxury-level” space that’s perfect for weddings, reunions, and family trips—king beds for all, room to spread out, and hosts who are responsive and organized (house guide + quick answers). Many guests say the lodge is even better than the photos and that it’s hard to leave.
