We passed a very comfortable night at the Inn on our way to Quebec. The historic charm of the snow-covered, old building drew us in immediately. Check in was a breeze. Our host was incredibly accommodating, and we settled right in. We put a classic jazz album on the Bluetooth turntable in our room, and rested up before having an absolutely delicious meal in the restaurant downstairs. The cocktail list was inventive, and the delicious, seasonal menu was locally sourced and well-executed. Plus, the friendly staff were so helpful, and the meal so satisfying, we “bought a round for the kitchen” to show our appreciation. Slept well in our cozy beds and were off on our way in the morning. I would definitely recommend the Deer’s Head Inn for weary travelers and epicureans alike.

We had a great stay here! The room was cozy and had everything we needed. It was in a convenient location not far from Lake Placid and very central in Elizabethtown being near a grocery store and convenience stores. It was very convenient being above the restaurant (the options were unique and flavorful and the cocktails were top tier). The owner was also very responsive. We would stay again.

Deer’s Head made us feel welcome from start to finish. Enough so we might consider relocating! The dining room is perfect in every way. Imagine the best food and great service without being pretentious. That’s it. Room was cozy and sweet and all we could need!!!

Owner is incredibly responsive, friendly and accommodating.
This place has a lot of history and is very well located for a hike in the ADK (very close to New Russia trailhead for RPR).
If you are looking for a fancy hotel with all the amenities, then go to the Crowne Plaza in Lake Placid, this is not the intent of this place. If you’re looking for a warm, cosy place where to stay in the heart of the High Peaks, then this place is for you.

There were no elevators, we have weak knees and had to walk up rickety stairs with our luggage. We had no disposable drink glasses, no coffee, no Kleenex, and NO T.V. The restaurant was very nice, but it’s down stairs, so all the talking, laughing, music, and the food smells were extremely annoying as we tried to sleep. I would not recommend this facility. When we asked why we did not have a television. We were told we could take a walk, read or listen to music.

We ordered 3 1808 burgers ,2 of them were burnt 3rd one was cooked to order . I ordered the Steak Fritz($36) , was over 1/2 grizzle and inedible. This steak was one of the top 5 worst steaks I've ever had . Only reason I have it 2 stars was our waitress did a decent job . I do not recommend this place for any meal .

We went there based on a friend's past experiences, the staff was nice but after that was where it went bad. The waitress asked us to order apps and entrees together ,so we did . We ordered 3 1808 burgers and a steak fritz ($36) , 2 of the burgers were burnt and tough , 3rd burgers was cooked to order , Steak had more inedible fat than edible meat . Also took over 1 hr for the food to come out . The place only had about 15-20 people in there while we were there .We had reservations for 5pm when they opened .Top 5 worst steaks I've ever had.

Cozy, homey room, accommodating, attentive staff, EXCELLENT dinner (Wed -- Sun) in the center of town.
Atmosphere was relaxed. Beautiful restraunt. The Owner and staff were all amazing !! Service was top notch ! The food was all fresh and made in house . We felt like regulars. DO NOT skip out on this place. We will be back. PS get the sorbet flight

We stayed the night en route from Quebec to NYC. Excellent food, fun cocktail, and really good friendly service in an historic building. Love the old photos and maps!
The room was perfect for the three of us (queen bed and fold-out couch). Love the old vinyl and record player. Easy check in and out.
VASTLY nicer and cheaper than the depressing chain place we stayed in on the way up. Recommend!
