Cozy Cabin in the Woods

Well appointed cabin that sleeps plenty of people for its modest size. Lots to do from hot tub to pool table to air hockey to arcade game. A great place to get away from it all!

The area was the only concern

Deer to my Heart was as it was described in being secluded! We loved that part! It was hard to get up the hill at night, so just keep that in mind! However, this cabin is in a secluded area in the woods, there are a lot of stink bugs! Elk Spring Resort fixed the issue without hesitation though. If you don’t mind them, then this is a great stay. If you do, I still recommend Elk Springs Resort, just not in this area. Other than the stink bugs, dishes were clean as well as the bathrooms!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Daisha. We are sorry for the stink bug problem you experienced. Upon reporting this, we were able to relocate you to a different cabin. Please be aware, this is not a sign of lack of cleanliness. The recent fluctuating temperatures caused them to come out of hibernation. Each of our cabins are professionally treated by our local pest control company. We care about the quality of your stay and provide this to ensure our guests are comfortable. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced and hope you will consider staying with us again in the future.

Secluded Thanksgiving in the Woods

We had a great time! This was by no means the fanciest cabin we have used. If you are comparing it to something like Poolin Around which is a solid 5 stars then this would be more of a 3 star, but if you are just grading this cabin on location, amenities, and cleanliness it’s more a 4. The cabin is more of a rustic feel of an old school cabin, but it’s extremely clean and not all dusty and dirty. There’s a nice play area for the kids off the lower level and plenty of games to keep them busy. There is not a large kitchen bar or table but there’s a sort of patio table inside that spins and extends to use for family. We had 9 and made it work, but it was a little tight eating and sleeping. The kitchen and living areas are small, but they worked. I’d say if you care more about an old fashioned secluded cabin stay this is your place. If you are looking for an extremely high end cabin this isn’t it and if you need ample space for dinner or a large group you can make it work but may want more space. I’m picky and I still enjoyed it. It’s secluded and the backyard is level enough for kids to play while adults watch from the hot tub. Yard access, hot tub, pool table, air hockey, and 2 seater bar are all in the basement but not a creepy one. It’s clean and has a sleeper sofa and chair. The main level has two love seats short people can push together into a bed, a queen bed, and the bunks. Upstairs is the loft with bed and futon. If you want everyone on the same level it is definitely 3 and has spiral stairs up and down but someone with mobility issues can easily get into and stay on the main level. We needed way more towels, toilet paper, and trash bags, and bedding for the improvised sleeping areas. Otherwise we had what we needed. WARNING: You can use a gps or directions until you get to the actual road Hunter Hills. It is horrible at night. You turn off a busy highway into a driveway that immediatel

We certainly appreciate your business and your kind review, Gina. Deer To My Heart is definitely the perfect cabin to rent if you want that secluded mountain feeling. It is designed for a small family to relax and simply create lasting memories together. We are delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your overall visit. We appreciate your feedback regarding your stay. It's because of your feedback that we have been so successful in this business. The email we sent with the address for your GPS also includes some turn-by-turn directions which are great to reference in the mountain area. Often times, GPS is not as accurate on these secluded mountain roads. We also send out several emails prior to arrival stating for our guests what items we provide and what we do not provide. We do include a starter supply of items such as toilet tissue, paper towels and trash bags. Unlike hotels, we do not provide daily housekeeping services as you may have assumed. We certainly apologize for any confusion. We hope that you will choose to visit with us again in the near future, and don't forget to mention you are a repeat customer to enjoy 10% off your next visit.

Very secluded, plumbing issues, cob webs.

Cabin is very secluded. Which is what we were going for. This cabin has plumbing issues that need to be resolved before it is rented again. We had issues with Jacuzzi tub in basement human feces and sewage coming up through drain. Other than that cabin was good! Just be sure plumbing is fixed and you like seclusion. This cabin also needs a good deep cleaning-- there were visible cob webs in several places.

Thank you for your honest review, Adrisa. It is delightful to hear you enjoyed your overall cabin stay. Deer To My Heart is definitely a nice, quite cabin to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We are very sorry to hear you experienced this issue during your visit. It appears as thought the septic tank had to be drained and this has since been taken care of. Although we do have our cabins sprayed monthly for common household insects, it is almost impossible to completely eradicate all cobwebs, as they can literally pop up overnight. Our housekeeping staff performed a deep clean of this cabin recently, and we hope you will make plans to visit here again in the future. Please keep in mind, as repeat visitors you will enjoy 10% off all future bookings.

Overall very pleased with our stay. Wish the master bedroom tv would work beyond 20min before the satellite would go out. Also wish it wasn't so far up the mountain, but we still appreciated the privacy. Management was willing to send us an item left behind which was a very nice gesture.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Hemant. I believe you meant to say we have bad bugs, not bed bugs? We did find where some bees had gotten inside and had the cabin treated right away. We do routine canine inspections for evidence of bed bugs and this cabin had no positive findings upon your departure. We care about the quality of your stay and take matters such as this seriously. We appreciate you bringing these items to our attention now, but please do not hesitate to contact us when you discover items such as this.
