Our stay was wonderful. No phonecalls could come in or out but we enjoyed that extra quiet. The WiFi helped with maps and boredom. The Coe county store down the road was really nice. Great food and prices without having to go too far. We did Fasnacht this year and this place was close by which helped greatly! The steep incline to get to the cabin shocked us at first but we soon mastered it.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Cain

I inherited Big Run Respite’s land, and it is important to me to be able to me to carry on our family’s legacy of loving and living a simple life in the woods, so that's why we built The Deerling- to share the simple life off the beaten path.

Why they chose this property

Several locations were considered as the first build site, but we settled here on this knoll in the ferns and ground pine. When I initiated our goal by sawing down the first tree, I knew this was the perfect location to find peace and rest for restoration.

What makes this property unique

We built a small pond close to this cabin so guests could enjoy its peace and solitude and being able to catch critters and fish (and then release our fish back into our pond ;), and we ran saw mills to saw the lumber for the exterior, so this structure is solid!
It is so quiet in this location, and near a grove of majestic hemlock pines (my own source of restoration).
