Deer Crossing Lodge

Worth knowing

• Six bedrooms and four full baths sleep 24 on two private acres.
• A covered pavilion on site is used for weddings and group meals.
• The kitchen has two ovens, two dishwashers and two refrigerators.
• A neighboring home within walking distance raises the total to 32.
• Weddings and reunions need the owner's approval at booking.

At full capacity that's about 6 people per bathroom. That's our math from the operator's numbers.

Ask before you book

Built from what the operator's page left open when we checked.

1. Is your stated capacity the permitted occupancy, or a count of every bed and sofa?
2. Which rooms and bathrooms work for a wheelchair or walker?
3. Is alcohol allowed on the property?
4. What is the minimum stay?
5. What is the full price, with cleaning fees and taxes?
