For almost two decades, this 800 acre property was a family's private retreat. In the early 2000s, they decided to open it to others and have created a resort. There are 15 lakeside and ranch-side cabins and cottages on Double S Ranch, accommodating between 2 and 16 people.

On the property, there are two lakes, several smaller ponds and streams, stocked with bass, perch, brim, catfish and crappie. There has been no hunting on the land for more than 30 years and it has become a haven for wildlife. Deer Lake Cabins Ranch Resort offers farm tours, boat trips, horse riding and a variety of other activities.
