Overall I was dissatisfied with the non cleanliness of the place. The linen smelt like it had never been washed and the pillows were even worse. Same with the towels and bathrooms. The stay was ok for what it was worth.

Annual Get-Away
The Mule Deer Lodge was great for our group of 4 old friends going on our 29th straight summer get-away. Four bedrooms plus a big, completed basement. Four bathrooms, with one in the basement. Nice kitchen. Excellent deck, tables and hot tub. Loved it and would definitely stay here again.

Perfect property
This cabin truly exceeded our expectations. It was so spacious and comfortable. The master bedroom was enormous. The 4 bathrooms made life so much easier, especially with 3 teens and 4 adults. The deck was amazing and we had deer coming up to the back deck all weekend. It was a perfect weekend!

All my kids and a son in law all have birthdays in the same week. We planned this adult only trip to celebrate all them. I had a medical emergency that could not be taken care of 8n your beautiful village and we had to leave early. But, we’d certainly consider returning at sometime, everything was lovely

Great relaxing vacation
Just wished all the doors and windows had mesh screens so we could have let the fresh air in without the mosquitoes, spiders, etc... the house got a bit hot, but the extra ventilation would have help that also. Also, the jacuzzi water was not fresh, we were unable to use. Everything else was great! Thank you

Great cabin/location with unique wildlife experiences
Really enjoyed our stay and the home is a treasure. Recommend fixing the minor blemishes of the home from hot tub cover, shower doors, patio door, to patches on walls. Detail the outside of home. We are really clean tenants and take care of properties. Definitively a place we recommend to others and a place we will stay again.

Holiday retreat
My family (9 total) stayed at this cabin from December 24-29th. The place was perfect for our big family. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing and watching all the deer. Location was nice and quiet and only a few minutes from downtown shopping and from the tubing facilities. Only issue we had was cooking Christmas dinner, kitchen wasn’t really properly stocked for extensive cooking. Regular family meals were fine though. We will definitely be back!

BIG amazing family cabin!
Excellent cabin for a family of 7! Spacious rooms, hot tub was hot apon arrival. Our children loved seeing the wild life deer, right outside the cabin. Our boys had their own downstairs TV, for their gaming council. Extremely clean! The kitchen had everything we needed, just had to bring the groceries. We look forward to making it our yearly spot. Thank you so much.

Good house for ladies group
For our group of 4 (60+ ) ladies this house was great for us. Each had their own room and 2 of us shared the master bath (2 sinks) with no problem. It has a large dining table and game table to play our card games, etc. Location was great in a quiet neighborhood but close to the Albertsons and short drive to shops. The kitchen was large and stocked with most of what we needed. It was lacking a cutting board and sponges to clean counters, both of which we purchased. We all agreed the property could use some updating, especially the carpet in the living/dining area. It had several explosive looking stains so we always had some type of shoes on. All in all, it was clean, but as you know, no amount of cleaning can change the “worn look”. One of the ladies is scheduled for knee replacement so once she got up to 2nd level that’s where she stayed so she only navigated stairs leaving or returning. If you have a major problem with stairs, that could be a deterrent. All in all, we had everything we needed and enjoyed our trip!
