About this property
Private Guest Suite by Wineries/Orchards/Cville
Welcome to Deer Hideout Retreat! We are located in Palmyra, Virginia on two acres of land. There is so much to do and see around here, and we hope you choose our home for your stay. We are surrounded by several vineyards, we are a 19-minute drive to Monticello, and 28 minutes away from the city center of historic Charlottesville. Our guests will be staying on the lower ground level of our home. This has its own private entrance leading to a walk-out patio area with a coffee table, love seat and two chairs. The private guest suite also includes your own bathroom with shower, mini refrigerator, and a bar area complete with a small sink. We have a Dreamcloud CA King size bed. If there are more than two guests, we will put out an additional queen size bed. (When booking, please select the number of guests so we can have the bed ready). We have provided a coffee machine (with coffee), tea, utensils, cutting board, plates, bowls, mugs, and glasses. Guests will have absolute privacy during their stay. If there is anything you might need, please let us know and we will do our best to make your stay more enjoyable. We live on the top two floors of our home with our dog, two cats, and child, so you may hear some noise and a few foot steps from time to time, but we always try to keep things quiet. You may also hear an occasional bark or meow. We do not allow our pets into the guest suite. Guests will have the entire lower ground level of our home with its own private entrance. Guests will also be free to roam the property (2 acres). Our property is family-friendly, and there is a large grass area to let your children run and play. We have provided a parking space just for our guests . There will be a mulched pathway that leads our guests down to the guest suite entrance. We do live on the property, however we give our guests their complete privacy. We are both more than happy to help out in any way and answer any questions you might have. We do welcome pets. There is a one time $40 pet fee. Please add pet while booking. Pets need to stay off furniture and please pick up after your pet goes potty. We have an automatic lock on the guest suite door, and the code will be given to you before your arrival. Please use this code when you are entering the code, and the door will unlock. Upon checkout, there will be a paper on the counter for instructions. Pet(s) live on property - We have a dog that lives on the property. She will bark during arrivals and departures, but she is always fenced in. Potential for noise - We live on the top two floors with our dog, two cats, and child, so there may be noise at times, (mainly from the dog). You may hear an occasional bark or meow. However, we will do our best to keep it to a minimum. Surveillance or recording devices on property - There are numerous cameras on the property (outdoors only), for your safety and ours.

The property was exactly as described, very clean and comfy. Beautiful location and the host Made us feel welcome with a little treat in the fridge. Will definitely make this location our go to place when in the area!
The space was beautiful and exactly as shown. Host were very nice and made it personal by leaving us a welcome letter and treats. Will definitely be using them again!!
We stayed one night to help break up our drive to the beach. This was the best little find for us! Big yard for our dog to sniff, quiet, extremely clean, comfortable bed and welcoming. Kevin and Desiree were easy to communicate with and gave plenty of information about everything you’d need. If we get the chance to book again we definitely will!
The hosts were very attentive, very available for anything we needed- which was NOTHING, because they thought of everything! Cozy and quaint, the little living area/bed was exactly what we needed :)
Our family had a great weekend stay at the Deer Hideout. The kitchette was perfect for morning breakfast and coffee before a long day exploring the area. The owners provided a great welcome board including some excellent homemade banana bread, which made us feel like we were home.
This is a very nice property. Lots of room for 2 people. The host provided many extras which was very nice. The bedding and linens were excellent. We would definitely recommend this place to others
Spent the weekend at this property and it was exactly what we needed. Comfy, charming accommodations. Set back in a beautiful wooded neighborhood. Very thoughtful hosts!

Quiet countryside location with excellent amenities both within the property and in the surrounding area. Wish we had longer to stay and enjoy the peace and tranquility this property provided. Would definitely recommend.
A very clean, comfortable, and cozy place. The owners made sure that we had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. It was perfect for 2 people. I would definitely recommend this place!
We stayed so we were close to my daughters wedding venue. The quiet serene of the location and the daily deer encounters made our downtime between functions very relaxing. Will definitely look to book with them again in the near future to check out some local attractions!
Excellent location. Very clean. Lots of extra goodies. We love our hosts communications.

Beautiful woods view with marked walking trail. Clean and comfortable. Almost handicap accessible, except for the mulch path was a little steep and slippery. But nice if you're looking for one level stay with no steps.
We went to Palmyra bc my son lives there. It was easy to meet up with him and his family. We ate at local restaurants and traveled to Scottsville. Cute town.
We needed to stay in the area for a few days. This was a perfect choice. Small but cozy and well equipped. The kitchen area is good for fixing a sándwich. The surroundings are beautiful.
My family loves Deer Hideout Retreat! This was our second stay. We love how well equipped the place is, it’s super clean, and the property (with trails!) is beautiful. The hosts have put a lot of thought into their guests’ comfort and have added so many nice touches. Check in and out is easy. If you need to get away, this is the place to go!
Beautiful, peaceful, very clean and private.
Went there because I had a conference for work in Charlottesville and it gave us a great chance for my husband and I to spend some alone time together. Could not have picked a better place and will definitely come back sometime in the near future.
This was the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. They have thought of everything. I hesitated to stay in a place that was part of someone’s home, but this was very private, beautiful setting and the owners were wonderful. Our pups loved the long windows they could look out of, the trails in the woods and the lovely walkable neighborhood. So close to lots of historic places and wineries. We will be back!
This was one of the cleanest places we’ve stayed at. The hosts had so many amazing little touches, we felt like we were staying at an 5 star hotel! Great communication as well. Would recommend, I wish I could give them more than just 5 stars!
