During your stay, the home is all yours. Our check-in process is easy and keyless. Make yourself at home! Please only park in the driveway. Do NOT park in the lower lot area since that is where the septic is located.

Welcome to The Velvet Antler where you can escape the noise and unwind in this serene forest retreat. The home is tucked in a peaceful neighborhood surrounded by nature—perfect for morning coffee on the deck, watching elk mosey by, stargazing at nigh, and slowing down.
