Jesse and Amy have created a paradise and refuge from the hustle and bustle of every day life. Our group enjoyed the opportunity to disconnect and enjoy nature. From the private lake, to hiking trails, fishing, and boating; our hosts have created the ideal get away. Accommodations were clean and tidy, with every convenience at your finger tips. Even better than described and the pictures do not do it justice. Best of all, the stay supports a free getaway for missionaries which was an honor to contribute toward. We look forward to staying again in the near future!
This was our second time at Deer Run Cabin at Stillwater Refuge! The first time was amazing and this time they had completely replaced the back deck, stairs on front and back and the pier. Fishing was awesome as always and the new lighting on the back deck really made the outdoors so inviting after the sun went down. We will be back! Highly recommend this place if you totally want to unplug from phone calls, text messages and just enjoy life!
We booked 3 nights and had a wonderful long weekend. We fished, kayaked, napped, and just relaxed. Highly recommend this cabin on the lake to anyone seeking a quiet getaway.
Beautiful cabin. Beautiful views. The swimming area was a lot fun. We all enjoyed the fishing. The cabin is beautifully remodeled. Can't wait to go back.

About the host
Hosted by Jesse Amy Easley
My wife and I met while attending Baylor University in Waco, Texas. She was a native East Tennesseean that feel in love with Texas and me. Not long after being married, we realized how similar East Texas was to East Tennessee, so we moved. We have been at the ranch for almost 15 years; raising kids and livestock side by side.
Why they chose this property
Our original and current vision in building Deer Run was to provide a place that nourished the soul and brought healing to family, friends, and visitors alike. Year after year, we continue to fall in love with the beauty around us- abundant wildlife, excellent bird watching, open pasture land, rolling hills to numerous creeks and springs to explore. This peaceful, natural setting has made great family memories for us, especially picking the wild dewberries in late Spring.
What makes this property unique
Over the years, we have had many customers that repeatedly tell us how restful and quiet our place is. Many have said that it is like coming home; a place where they feel welcome. The cabin on the lake really is the best place on the ranch. You can sit in the rocking chair on the front porch and watch the sunrise while drinking coffee or end the day on the back porch with the sunset. Many kids have spent their days running and jumping off the little pier into the lake or catching perch the size of a dinner plate.
For all you hunters out there: Deer Run is located at Stillwater Refuge which is a hunting ranch and retreat center. Ask about hunts we have available during your stay!!
