PRIME RIB IS ON THE SMOKER!

Highway 6 is limited access north of Co Rd 7, there are flaggers at Co Rd 7 and the edge of our north lot entrance. Tell the flaggers you’re trying to get to Deer Haven! They have to let you through.
Highway 6 from Outing is still closed south of 48. You have to take 136/155 to get north and south.

Excuse our mess! Have no fear, we are open normal hours during all the construction here and surrounding us!

If you’ve driven by in the last few days I’m sure you’ve noticed a lot of commotion in our parking lot… soon we will have even more space for guests to join us!

Please do no park on the dirt yet!!

It’s road construction time!! There will be a handful of days highway 6 will be closed in small spots while culverts will be replaced, meaning no one will be able to cross those spots. Deer Haven is between them and there are ways around those. These are the easiest ways to get to us during the actual closures. Once the culverts are replaced, the re-paving will begin and Highway 6 will be “open” but down to 1 lane with the use of pilot cars and flaggers for stretches at a time.

DEER HAVEN IS NOT FOR SALE!

Let’s squash this fast. If you search “Deer Haven” on social media, you will find lots of posts, most are from this account, but there are old pages that have not been removed, as well as old listings, like this one from 9 years ago when this beautiful property was for sale. Please be mindful of the date things are posted before jumping to conclusions.
