GUEST COMMENTS

LODGE RETREATS
"Our entire experience was extremely positive; the setting and the accommodations were perfect and the staff could not have been more hospitable and gracious. Chris and his team did a fabulous job with the food and went above and beyond in accommodating our vegetarians within the group."—Carol L. Arrowood, Chief Human Resources Officer, Foundations Recovery Network

"We had a wonderful time at Deer Run. I have already suggested to our FCA State Director that he use your facility for such events as ours. The service was great and I really appreciate your Bible Study [class] stepping up to volunteer during meals. The place was beautiful and really plugged into our meeting all week as God was blessing us each step of the way. I was a little nervous, having never visited, but you all over delivered. It was an awesome experience."—Donita Povolny, FCA National Motocross Director

"Much more than just being a beautiful, comfortable, and functional location (which it is!), the people at Deer Run are what make our times there so special. The accommodations, the food, and the atmosphere are exactly what we need to create productive and meaningful times away from the pressures of the day-to-day."—Fellowship Bible Church, Brentwood, TN

"The Lodge at Deer Run was a home run for our student ministry girls weekend camp! The facility is immaculate, the setting is beautiful, and the service we received was phenomenal. The communication before, during, and after the event was easy and uncomplicated which made for a smooth event. Your staff met and exceeded every one of our expectations and gave us the confidence we needed to focus on the ministry to our students. The close proximity to the Nashville area was another plus for our group as well. I highly recommend Deer Run Retreat!"—Emily Tardy, Women's Director Fellowship Student Ministries, Fellowship Bible Church, Brentwood, TN

YOUTH & LEADERSHIP RETREATS
"This past weekend our young adult ministry from Northridge stayed with you on Friday and Saturday nights. What an awesome experience we had! Your staff's servant leadership was unbelievable. Everyone was so encouraging to our group. This group has been on several events in the past but Deer Run allowed our group to experience a completely new level of spiritual growth and leadership from the staff. The food was delicious, John built a picture perfect campfire each night, and the ropes courses bring a new meaning to overcoming fear. Deer Run's commitment to God's incredible vision has made an impact on this group that will never be forgotten. I thank God for what Deer Run has done for this group and I know it will continue to be an experience in other people's lives that will last forever."—Lee Preston, Northridge Church

"Thank all of you once again for a very successful retreat. Even though the weather didn’t provide us with the most ideal conditions, the cabins were perfect and the kids really seemed to enjoy themselves and said that they wanted to come back so they could “check out” the campgrounds a little more. …[Your staff] treated us like royalty this past weekend and provided us with everything that we needed, and were a crucial part in making this retreat as successful as it was. I have never seen anyone provide us with the level of service that David, Fred, and John provided us. You guys truly set the standard in providing superior customer service and I just cannot express enough how pleased we were with all of you and your facilities! ! ! We are looking forward to planning a return trip in the near future!"—Priest Lake Presbyterian Leadership Team, Antioch, TN

"Deer Run was an all-around fantastic experience for our youth group! The location was close by and the facilities were very accommodating. We planned our weekend around a desire to see our youth become more unified and the ropes course definitely brought our group together! The facilitators were really knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend Deer Run to any group looking for a place to get away, get connected, and have a lot of fun!"—J.P. Robinson, Youth Minister, Harpeth Community Church, Franklin, TN

"Thanks so much for your warm hospitality this past weekend during our retreat. Our guys raved about the facility and the environment you created for us. Everything was perfect! I'll recommend Deer Run Retreat Center to everyone I know."—Mike Smith, President, Michael Smith & Associates, Brentwood, TN
