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:
*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.

*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.
*Wood-burning stoves: High-efficiency units can over-heat the home when temps are above freezing; use is by host approval and when weather allows.

*Booking guest must sign rental agreement and provide security deposit.
*Visitors: Must be pre-approved; fees may apply.
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.
