The Deer Retreat at Venus

Escape to this charming, secluded cottage in beautiful Highlands County, where peace and nature await. Nestled among the trees, this cozy retreat offers the perfect getaway for relaxation and reconnecting with nature. Savor the fresh air as you unwind in the hammock beneath a canopy of shade, accompanied by the calming sounds of birdsong. Enjoy meals or a barbecue on the spacious back deck, surrounded by lush greenery and an expansive backyard.

As the sun sets, switch on the string lights adorning the porch and deck to create a magical ambiance. Spend your evenings gathered around the fire pit under a blanket of stars. Whether you’re here to unwind or explore, this delightful cottage offers a true retreat in Venus. And yes, we have WiFi for staying connected
