Unique Country Cabin Meets Farmhouse Modern!!!

Our goal was to create a space for the entire family. The History of our Cabin started as Hoss's Country Store where we provided a general store for our community and the guests visiting our beautiful area next to the National Forest. We have always felt that taking care of our family and friends were the top priority. We carried that mindset over when we created this special place for families all over to get together and create memories. Come on over and stay with us at Deer Ridge Resort!
