With the purchase of Deer Lake Lodge in June 2021 I entered an exciting new chapter when I became a glampground proprietor (a.k.a. Deer Lake Lodge has hosted guests since the 1920's when it was built as a hunting lodge, it has been through many reinventions since then and was even abandoned for a couple of decades. I've rebranded it as Deer Lake Wilderness Retreat, and my vision is to create a community where my guests can relax in nature, reflect on life, and restore their soul. Phase A is well underway with the establishment of a glampground, and phase B will be to introduce workshops with a focus on wellness.

Did you know that Deer Lake Glamping has a lodge built for bigger groups? 🌲✨

Whether you’re planning the ultimate girls’ getaway, hosting a bridal shower or bachelorette, or gathering the whole crew for a long-overdue family reunion, we have space for everyone. It’s also the perfect, inspiring backdrop to get your team out of the city for a refreshing work retreat!

Our lodge is a beautiful, peaceful space designed to help you completely disconnect from the daily grind and reconnect with the people who matter most. Put the phones down, breathe in the fresh air, and make some unforgettable memories. 🪵🪵Who are you bringing with you to the lake? Tag your getaway crew below! 👇

Did you know that here at Deer Lake, we have a real pizza oven?

When you’re escaping the city hustle for a weekend getaway, the last thing you want is fast food pizza showing up in a cardboard box. Instead, you get to slow down and create an authentic, handmade pie from scratch from the perfect dough stretch to wood-fired char, it’s a total vibe.

Tag the person you want to make pizza with at our escape! 🥂
