Relaxing Stay: 2 Kitchens, 2 Hot Tubs, Ample Seating, Movie Night with Popcorn

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.

*Laundry in each side with detergent, iron & board

Outdoors you’ll love
*Two hot tubs: 7-person at the cabin deck + 5-person at the guest-quarters deck
*Regulation-size pickleball court (Sport Court surface)
*Fire pit with complimentary firewood & skewers
*Gazebo with fire table; multiple seating areas for wildlife watching
*Frequent sightings: deer, birds, squirrels, chipmunks, the occasional ground hog

Things to note:

*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.
*Age & verification: Primary guest 25+; Truvi (formerly Superhog) ID verification within 24 hours of booking.
*Booking guest must sign rental agreement and provide credit card for $500 security deposit within 24 hours of booking.
*Visitors: Must be pre-approved; fees may apply.
*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.
