Deer Run - Hidden Gem Where You Can Enjoy Woods, Wildlife, and Gardens

Very clean, had everything we needed. Perfect for the two of us. Coffee on the front porch. Peaceful and close to town. Ruth was an excellent host. She answered any questions and answered them with a quick response. Really enjoyed watching the sun rise each morning.

I needed a break from my life. A sabbatical! The peace and quiet was perfect. The house was comfortable with little added touches that made me feel like a guest. I’ll definitely be coming again!

When I found Deer Run online, I instantly fell in love. My husband and I are both nature lovers and this was the perfect little getaway we needed. The cottage is so cozy and inviting. It has everything you need and then some. It's tucked away, yet close and accessible to so much. Ruth and Simon were very kind and helpful. On Sunday, three does and a fawn came through the yard and one of our favorite mem

The place was adorable and very close to everything you'd need. I loved the concrete flooring and the tall open windows. Ruth did a great job trying to think of everything you'd need. The shower, refrigerator, and kitchen appliances could use some extra attention as far as cleanliness is concerned. The bathroom shower mat and shower curtain have seen better days. The fridge needed to be cleaned and there was old coffee in the pot. I'm being picky. The main reason I like using VRBO is the privacy you get compared to other platforms or hotels. There appeared to be construction/other work happening while we there, so there were alot of cars and foot traffic. As a result, I didnt take advantage of the porch (also insanely hot weather), leaving the window coverings open, or exploring the grounds. But that was my decision. I think it would be more accurate to say that the main house, just across the driveway from the cottage, overlooks the beautiful pond. The cottage overlooks another structure beside the main house (where much of the work was occurring), although the pond can be seen from the cottage itself. All just footsteps away. I didn't expect all of the structures to be situated so closely, so I was disappointed in the lack of "privacy" that I had expected as it felt like more of a shared space even though we had the cottage to ourselves. Ruth was very responsive and respectful of our privacy. Overall, we had great stay at the cottage.

It's hard to believe this tranquil property in the woods is just 5 minutes from restaurants and stores, but there it is. Wonderfully relaxed and comfortable, just perfect for a couple or a single traveller. Our favorite thing was watching fireflies in the evening. Kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to eat in as much as you like. We'll definitely return when we come to visit family in the area. Ruth is a very gracious and responsive host.
