Log Cabin Oasis: Pickleball, Hot Tub, Deer, Corn Hole, Board Games, Arcade, Pets

Wake up to sunlight filtering through the trees and deer grazing just beyond the porch swing. Deer Run Lodge Log Cabin offers that true “cabin-in-the-woods” feeling guests describe as peaceful, storybook quiet, yet only minutes from Yorkville’s restaurants, shops, and outdoor adventures.

Whether you’re soaking in the 7-person hot tub, sipping coffee from the over-the-top coffee bar, or playing a few games on the regulation size pickleball court (with Sport Court surface), this spotless, thoughtfully designed cabin makes it easy to relax and reconnect.

NOTE: Property is shared with other guests. A shared Sunroom connects the two buildings and is the only indoor shared space. Log Cabin has its own deck and hot tub that is not shared.

The Space
*Guests consistently call the cabin beautiful, clean, cozy, and modernized without losing its rustic charm. It comfortably hosts up to 6 guests across 3 king bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms.

Shared Sunroom
A climate-controlled sunroom connects the Log Cabin and Guest Quarters. Guests describe it as “peaceful and relaxing” with comfy seating, Roku TV, a game table, and windows that frame the woods. You’ll also find puzzles, books, classic arcade and outdoor games like corn hole, Flicken Chickens, Spike Ball and Ring Toss.

Outdoors
Step onto the deck to grill dinner, soak in the 7-person hot tub, or gather around the fire table beneath the trees. A nearby fire pit and gazebo (both shared) are waiting for you to get together to share your stories. Deer, chipmunks, foxes, and colorful birds are regular visitors—guests love how close to nature they feel.
On-site, enjoy a regulation-size pickleball court—a surprise hit with guests who say it makes it hard to leave the property! This court is shared with any guests who reserve the Guest Quarters.
