About this property

The Deer Retreat at Venus

  • Escape to The Deer Retreat at Venus, a charming, secluded cottage nestled among the trees in beautiful Highlands County, Florida. Surrounded by nature, this peaceful getaway is perfect for relaxing, unwinding, and making lasting memories.

    Our cozy cottage features two bedrooms with queen-size beds, a queen sleeper sofa in the living room, one bathroom, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to feel at home. Each room features Roku and smart TVs for streaming your favorite shows, and Wi-Fi is provided.

    Step outside to enjoy the spacious back deck with comfortable seating, a barbecue grill, and charming string lights that create a warm evening atmosphere. Gather around the fire pit under the stars, with complimentary firewood when available.

    The guest shed includes a washer, dryer, and a quiet seating area for reading or working. Inside, you'll also find board games, books, and a VCR with classic movies for a nostalgic evening.

    You'll have the entire cottage and its outdoor spaces to yourselves. We're Carlos and Diana, your hosts, and we live nearby if you need assistance or recommendations. We value your privacy and want you to feel completely at home while enjoying our little slice of paradise.

    **A Few Things to Know**

    The property has a manually operated entrance gate. Guest parking is available beneath the shade trees, directly in front of the designated parking sign.

    As this is a rural, wooded setting, wildlife sightings are possible, including deer, turkeys, armadillos, rabbits, squirrels, owls, occasionally coyotes, bobcats, bears, snakes, or other native Florida wildlife. Friendly neighborhood dogs may also wander by.

    We look forward to welcoming you and hope you enjoy a peaceful, memorable stay surrounded by nature!

Quiet country setting. Enjoyed coffee on the deck with beautiful mornings! Evenings with a breeze. Our 2 dogs loved the freedom to roam around. Close enough to explore surrounding areas and attractions. The hosts were a wonderful couple and our needs were fully met!

The property suited our needs for our time in FL. The only drawback was there was no mention about pets not being allowed on furniture in the policies, even with a blanket/cover on it. Our pets are our kids, and we enjoy having them sit with us on the couch to watch a movie. We sat on the floor because they did not understand why they couldn't be on the couch. If you have pets that are used to sitting on the couch, this might not be the place for you, if they are not allowed on the couch at your house, then this place would be fine. One upside, the bed in the main bedroom, is extremely comfortable, slept better than I do at home. Owners were friendly and quick to respond to questions.

Very accommodating older park model. Clean. Bedrooms were comfortable. Everything worked as we needed. Hosts were very helpful. The driveway could use some updating with better gravel, but I had to find something to mention!
