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.

We do welcome pets. There is a one time $35 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.

Cozy Retreat
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!

Best place in Palmyra
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!

Quiet getaway
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!

Great for a weekend trip
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.

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.

Home away from home!
Our host Kevin and Desiree bring their A-game to hosting with Vrbo! Our guest suite was clean inside and out, and lavishly equipped with the basics as well as the extra’s such as samples of coffee and other goodies from local merchants. The backyard and outdoor scape was serene, private and inviting for rest, relaxation which the deer also enjoyed a visit. Not only was the suite and outdoor Pet friendly and welcoming, so are Kevin and Desiree! We brought our “boy” Beau a 15 month old 100 lb Rhodesian Ridgeback with us as he is family. Kevin and Desiree were very welcoming and accepting of Beau and the guest suite and backyard were very accommodating to him as well. So, if you have a Pet-family member, bring him/her with you there is plenty of room and welcoming host! Kevin and Desiree were open to a brief meet and greet and this was important to us as guest to have a brief moment to meet our host. If we had more time to visited, sharing a cup of coffee and chat would have been welcomed. All in all, our guest suite, and our host was like a home away from home, and our host like good neighbors!

The location was easy to access and had a nice yard for my son and dog to enjoy. The adults also enjoyed the outside patio. Inside, the setup was perfect for our small family and we felt very welcomed with warming gifts. The kitchenette had just what we needed for the overnight trip.
