“We stayed at Deerview Lodge for the recent long weekend and it worked well for us. Three generations of my family shared three cottages, all of which were nicely appointed, comfortable and clean. Deerview is an older place. It isn’t fancy but it represents good value, and is run by a friendly husband and wife team who were happy to accommodate our needs. I would certainly come back!”
“We had an impromptu drive into the interior and realized we didn't wanna drive the steep winding roads back home at night with all the fallen rocks we saw. Good call too, as our car started to act up too! Called Raymond, and he was easily able to accommodate us even though our credit card had just expired. It's a humble place, with at-home features including full kitchenettes, gas stove, residential fridge, pots and pans for cooking, and clean bathrooms with AMAZING water pressure. No, it's not the Ritz-Carlton, it's a honest humble small business with a guest first approach! I definitely recommend Deerview to anyone, and we will for sure be staying again! Thank you, Raymond, for giving us a warm welcome and stay for our first time in your little mountain town! Give the deer a treat for us!”
“We really enjoyed our stay here! We stayed for a week while we were waiting to close on our house. Unfortunately, it wasn't a vacation as we both had to work during that week, but the place was quiet enough to allow us both to work all day and the internet was reliable - important because I'm an online professor and my wife is online tech support. The room itself was large and well-appointed. A nice full kitchen with a few dishes. (If you're staying long term, bring your own.) Raymond and Andrea were super-nice and friendly. Most of the neighbors were really nice. A couple not so much, but you can't blame the lodge owners for that - a lot of different personalities in a small space - that will happen anywhere you go. Literally the only thing I would change would be to add screens to the window and fix the front window in the room we were staying in so it could open. There were some amazing mountain breezes in the mornings and we would love to have taken advantage of them. Overall, if you're looking for a large room with a kitchen and really friendly owners for a good price, check them out. We will definitely have friends and family stay here when they come to visit.”
“Deerview Lodge was the best spot we could have hoped for. Travelling through town on bikes, we needed a place to stay at the last minute. With everything in town fully booked, we rang Deerview Lodge where Raymond and Andrea assured us we would have a place to stay. We were met with the kindest couple who opened a space for us, and their hospitality was so generous after a long few days of pedalling and tenting. Would highly recommend staying here.”
“I was working in Princeton for what was only supposed to be the day but things changed and found myself either having to drive 2.5 hrs home and back in the morning or stay overnight. Well I started phoning around and driving around and all I found was no vacancy! But when I was just about ready to make the drive home my boss reached out to the most kind people you will ever meet at deerview. Raymond and Andrea took me into their own home that they had set up as a B&B; I had nothing so they set me up with toothbrush, soap, the works! Raymond and Andrea were so kind and helpful to someone they had never met , opened their home to a complete stranger suck a great experience!!True kind people and I will never forget this! Thank you so much Raymond and Andrea!!!”
