We invited all our guests to stay at the Deer Lodge, for our weekend wedding. We held the ceremony and reception off-site, but had a welcome BBQ on-site. We loved the Deerlodge! The views are stunning and the grounds are filled with flowers (in the summer). But the part that really sold it for us, was the exceptional customer service... More

My husband and I, who stayed here between July 9 - 12, 2012 and our two grown sons each had rooms at this lovely motel while we attended a wedding. It was clean, comfortable and very affordable. Best of all, the caretakers were extremely friendly and welcoming, as well as helpful. As one of the other guest so succinctly stated;... More

This review is to let other know that this is a sweet little place. Thr grounds are gorgeaous and we found it very friendly. We often would go away to the cabin for the weekend and that has this kind of feeling. If you are a mid range budget seeker with needs for a great view, quiet sleep, clean stay,... More

Just a few minutes North of Victoria's hustle and bustle is a relaxing way station along the way. That would be the Deer Lodge at Mill Bay. If you confuse Techno with nice forget it. If you confuse ostentatious with class go back to Victoria. But if you equate value with views and amenities then go for it. I had... More

This motel is a blast from the past. Our unit was a large one bedroom with a woodburning fireplace in the living room, and kitchen. The furnishings and decor were definitely 70's which impressed my 14 year old son - hey mom, RETRO!! We were very comfortable here, however the unit had not been used for quite some time because...

We talked to the receptionist and told her what kind of a room we were interested in. She showed us two rooms, and put us in a newly renovated suite with a full kitchen (including oven!), with a great view of the lake. Even though it was close to the Highway, we couldnt hear a thing. Very friendly and helpful... More

When I moved to Mill Bay, I stayed at the Deer Lodge Motel on a monthly basis, the rooms were clean, excellent prices, grounds are kept in impeccable shape, our rooms had a view of the motel which was like a postcard. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

I have been on lots of roadtrips, stayed at lots of cheap motels...this one takes the cake. From the outside, it looks like a nice place; peaceful, sweet view of the lake.... Then we saw the room. It was disgusting. It was less like a hotel room and more like a creepy mismatched grandma bedroom. The 2 inch shag carpet... More

We stayed at Deer Lodge Motel because of its distance to Brentwood College. It was less than a 10 minute walk to the school and a very convenient location during the Brentwood Regatta. We were given Room 4, which the website stated as "Original 1947-era wing with every room uniquely different." The beds were comfortable but the furnishing is very... More
