I recently stayed here while traveling on business in the Lake Forest area. Because of the convenience of the location, I'd probably stay here again. It wouldn't be a vacation destination for me though, that's for sure. Pros: The hotel is right in town, so everything is walkable and there are a lot of cute, charming businesses in the area... More

Just returned from a 2 night stay at the deer path inn. I was to be in Lake Forest with a colleague for a training, so booked our hotel room in advance, Dec, 2012. This is the only hotel near the conference center and appeared to be the only hotel in the area. In Dec, '12, I requested a room... More

Subsequent to a terrible experience at the Deer Path Inn some months back, I subsequently was compelled by my employer to return to the hotel for a business trip. My employer, aware of my past dissatisfaction, asked the Deer Path Inn to take this into consideration. I am happy to report that I had a night day experience and could... More

Amazing place you'd think you were in the uk. It has everything. Twisty corridors where you need a guide to find your room, massive rooms (actually that's where it differs from uk), pub with great draft beer, fish and chips, sushi (ok you get the point - it's not oxfordshire). Anyway a very cool place with friendly people and a... More

We stayed two days here for a family destination wedding. Our room was traditional old English Tutor charm. The beds and linens were comfortable and high end. The common areas are pleasing, and the basement Pub a superb place to relax in the evening. The only reason I did not give this inn a five star rating fo excellence, is... More

I stayed at the Deerpath many times over the past six years, when visiting my father monthly at his Lake Forest Place residence. I had known of this charming Inn through a number of wonderful dinners here over the years with both my parents. First of all, the Deerpath is an old and historic Inn, built originally in the 1860's... More

I travel for business with some regularity, and while I have stayed at some nice hotels for work (Biltmore in Phoenix), I mostly stay at lower/mid-level hotels like Day’s Inn, Double Tree, Hampton Inn, etc. And the truth is, for business, my needs are simple; I don’t care where I stay – as long as the bed is comfortable, and...

This is a charming location and property. My room however had the feel of a college dorm. Furniture sparse and overall not a cozy feel, which you would expect from the exterior of inn, lobby and other public areas. The staff, however were exemplary. Welcoming and helpful. So because of them I give three stars instead of 2.

I had dinner with my friend two nights ago. The menu choice, the food, the staff and the service are excellent!!! I have stayed in many up market hotels around the world and I have to say the quality of food and the service are really top notch!!! Everyone was so friendly and made me feel really comfortable. The steaks... More
