Deer Run- beautiful Western North Carolina
Leave the city behind and relax in a quiet mountain home where a family of deer often visit the front yard. Explore the quiet neighborhood by taking a morning walk. Hiking, rafting, shopping and lunch are all within short driving distance. Later in the day, put a meal on the charcoal grill and enjoy an evening around the fire pit. We have enjoyed this home with our family and friends for 22 years. Creating memories is the best part of spending time at Deer Run.

Cozy retreat in the forest
We loved enjoying the great outdoors with Deer Run as our home base. A deer family visited every morning as we had a stare contest with them from the front porch!! Lovely, well-appointed house.
