What guests think

Across recent reviews of Deerhurst Resort, guests consistently praise the scenic lakeside setting and plentiful on-site activities for families, while noting dated buildings (especially Bayshore), limited or costly dining, and reduced or inconsistent housekeeping.

Staff are frequently described as friendly and accommodating, but check-in lines, slow responses, and uneven maintenance leave a mixed impression. Rooms vary from spacious with lake views to dated and noisy, with hard or sagging mattresses and older fixtures; Bayshore in particular draws complaints about age, odors, and thin walls. Food quality earns both praise and criticism, with several reports of restaurant closures or limited hours and breakfast pricing felt high. Expect a family-focused resort stay with great nature access and activities, but variable rooms and services.

August 2025 stay: Some of the staff were very kind and helpful. There was an associate working the front desk who we unfortunately got every time. She was difficult to hear and seemed annoyed at everything. The pool is small for the amount of guests with not nearly enough chairs. The “beach” is the same. The dining options are limited with kids in my opinion. But Huntsville is close. We had pets with us (love how pet friendly it is) and could only stay in a certain building which impacted our visit as there wasn’t a lake view. The balcony was in rough shape. The room itself was comfortable and clean. Overall if you can get a good rate it is a decent place to take kids ages 6 and over. The pavilion needs to be renovated. Broken window treatments, peeling wall coverings, etc.

The lake is beautiful. The room was clean. The buffet dinner was very nice. The beach area is very small. Too many people and kids. Not enough chairs. Not enough kayaks. The beach area was not kept clean. Geese poop everywhere. The outdoor pools are very small and again very overcrowded with kids. Staff do not check the rooms. Items I forgot were taken from my room. Never go again.

It is a great place to stay, but not enough staff. We didn’t have enough towels, no bath mat available so we had to use our towels to dry the floor. There weren’t enough staff at the pool area, pple were coming with outdoor shoes around the pool, pool towels were so small. It was an average facility. We won’t try this place anymore, it was expensive compared to the service.

I was very disappointed with my stay. The room was dirty, with dog toys left on the floor, and the so-called balloon room was extremely unclean. The washroom had not been properly cleaned, and one of the towels even had blood and hair on it. A pillow was also in poor condition. When I went downstairs to speak with the reception staff, their response was unprofessional—they simply said they could clean the room but nothing more could be done. Because of this experience, I will never return to this hotel and would not recommend it to anyone.

The balcony was covered in mould and cobwebs, the room was very dated. Pillows are also super thick and not comfortable. The pool was nice though.

Overall the resort was very nice. Lots of amenities for the kids. Rock climbing, arcade, indoor playground, outdoor activities and pool. We stayed at the bayshore, waterfront room but the hotel was very outdated and dusty. The screen door to the balcony lookout looked like it had not been cleaned for months. Cobwebs were all over the screen and a ton of spider eggs were in the awning. When you entered the hotel room, it spelt musty like an old attic. The bayshore is an older building. The other building on the resort looked much nicer.

Checking in took longer than normal as their were only 2 people working Saturday. Shuttle service was questionable, weather was bad but should have been told it wasn't working instead of making me wait more than an hour outside. Called them multiple times and they had several opportunities to let me know but made me wait. Staff Sunday were not friendly especially the lady working Sunday night. Gave me the attitude that they were annoyed with my questions. Food prices overpriced noticed increase in price from the menu than what's on the restaurant websites.

Found it quite odd that we left room for the day and ...room service didn't clean or make beds or gave us towels or emptied our trash......was told we should have told front desk when we left to clean our room......this is a big resort first time I have run into this situation.....Television in room was something that would have been good for viewing 15-20 years ago...old and around 27 inches.....movies on demand 24.99 rip off get them at home free.....breakfast for four of us ran 150.00...30.00 per person plus tax and of course tip.....dining they had a buffet starting at 49.95 per person family of 4 easily 300.00 dollars for a meal....of course have too throw in a tip....Little tiny fridge can fit comfortably 4 bottles of water lol.....4 of us we drink a lot more water than that on a hot day. If you decide to use a vending machine have a credit card ready...3.00 for a small bag of chips.....4 bucks for a water....and have to keep using credit card for each purchase.....before leaving ask if there is an ice machine in the building anywhere ....was told there was one on our floor....I walked many times up and down the floor hallways.....it was in a small room with a tiny table reading ice on the door....of course I missed it there's only a 100 doors in the hallway. I found a lot of people wandering around especially if you have young adults....resort should plan activities....or lol....I guess I should have asked......didn't sleep well pillows to small....tried to watch tv

Went for a girls weekend and had a great time. The front desk staff were extremely friendly and made us feel welcomed and answered any questions that we had. The room was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed the dining options too! Our only concern was that there was a hockey tournament, so the pool and hot tub were full of kids, so we didn’t get to enjoy that amenity, no fault of the resort. Definitely going back next year to make this an annual tradition.

The front staff was not quite friendly on the day we arrived but on the other days they'd appeared friendly and helpful. There was no place to get a coffee in the hotel and the outside coffee place was not open on Tuesday and the quality of the coffee was poor. The front outdoor pool was okay but the area around it needed a facelift. The eclipse restaurant was not a restaurant but a buffet. Overly priced and not worth the money. The rooms, the bed, the carpet, the curtains, and the bathroom all needed a renovation. Very outdated and not clean. I could not even sleep one night because of the entire ambiance!
