The Deerstand

Posted by: Joel F.

Wow! What a great opportunity to be able to buy an established restaurant on Scenic Highway 6 in Deerwood. The staff is ready to go and put their talents to work for you. The head chef had clients coming from Brainerd, and the Mille Lacs lake area. Even the late Kirby Puckett loved this place. Only a slowing economy forced the closing of this restaurant over the summer.

First off a brief history of the restaurant. Back in 2005 an abandoned church sat here on the corner of Mn 6 and MN 210. A family had an idea to convert it to one of the finer eating establishments in the Lakes area. I grew up heading to our families cabin on Lake Roosevelt in Outing MN. So I know this route is well traveled year round by those heading up north to the cabin. This family saw potential in this run down building. The open beam cathedral ceiling made for a very appealing eating area. They started by saving those beams and by cleaning them and putting on a fresh coat of stain.

They also added knotty pine for a true "Up North" feel. The bar was then hand made from 3" thick slabs of pine all one piece. This makes for a very unique bar top as the tree edges face out to the customers. There are several seating areas including the deck which is where Kirby liked to keep a low profile when eating. The stage is up a step from the dance floor which is up a step from the main area. This gives an awesome character to the place not found in other establisments. Just look at the natural lighting during the day, power was off and no flash was needed for the above photo. There is also a loft area for additional private dining and or office.

Downstairs also has a full bar and another eating area which was used extensively for private banquets. All of the coolers, freezers, bar equipment are still on site and ready to go. The chef personally designed the kitchen layout for his use so the set up is just the way it should be. All the fryers, grills, and pressure cookers are in place as well. Don't miss this great opportunity to own "The Deerstand" and take advantage of todays lower price and fabulous reputation. The owners will even work with you the first few months to get you up and running smoothly.
