We had a blast celebrating my 40th birthday! Time in this cabin with family was perfect. Everything we could think of was at the cabin. It was close to so many attractions and downtown.
The cabin layout was perfect with plenty of space to accommodate everyone. Also, it was very well stocked with random things we forgot to bring or need to cook, so we didn't have to leave the cabin the whole weekend
The property was sparkling clean, spacious, and had thoughtful touches. Loved the smores sticks, large number of cooking utensils and dishes, and the kids area was really great.
Everything was great! We had a fun time. Great location, views, and things to do at the cabin! Cabin was very clean and decorated nicely for Christmas, which was a great touch! The futons upstairs weren’t the best for sleeping and we also had some challenges getting hot showers but other than that, we had a really smooth experience. Alex is easy to work with!
Awesome for a big family get together Nice 3 level layout with plenty of roomOutside fire pit patio was super We had 11 people for four nights It was greatPlanning on coming back next yearOur Host is the best
Our family of 5 stayed here and had an amazing time. The cabin was super clean and in a quiet neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again. We found the roads a little lease scary if you come in through the Legion Road gate.

Rebecca,
I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay, and look forward to you're return visit. Thanks for staying at DeerWoodsLodge.com
We met up with family for an early Christmas celebration. This cabin was very well appointed and beautifully decorated for Christmas! Our whole family had a wonderful time. Our host was very responsive, we needed some extra firewood and more was delivered right away. We would highly recommend this listing.
The stay was very relaxing and the accommodations met the needs of our family from child, to teen, to adult. Favorite part was sitting outside by the fire, talking, listening to nature, and smiling as we caught sight of one of the many deer amongst the woods.
