The Deer Head Inn exceeded all our expectations especially after reading some of the old reviews, The building is over 150 years old, of course it's not the Plaza but you are in Delaware Water Gap and it has character. We had no problems with our telephone reservation or check in. The room was so nice, great bed and bedding,... More

The Motto at the Dear head Inn seems to be "well, if we HAVE to..." but despite this, we had a great time there. This eccentric place has been around for many years (with different owners), and its main claim to fame is the great lineup of jazz acts that they are able to book. They are about one and... More

We stayed here As a part of a hiking vacation. The location is fantastic! The app trail literally borders the inn heading towards mt Minsi. As other reviewers stated, check in and check out was a bit odd trying to find someone, but we expected that and it didn't bother us too much. We weren't given checkout instructions and so... More

My boyfriend and I spent a Saturday night at Deerhead -- he is a big jazz fan and the Deerhead has a reputation for showcasing great jazz musicians. When we first arrived, I was not impressed by the outside of the Inn -- it's rather run down. However, the rooms were recently renovated and we had a nicely decorated and... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Deer Head over Memorial Day weekend and had a low-key, relaxing time. The hotel itself was built in the 1850s and has an old-fashioned, lived in charm. The staff was accommodating, even with our late arrival. The room on the top floor was clean and comfortable enough (no AC, but 4 windows). The... More

I stayed overnight recently. As soon as I went to bed, a dog in the next room started to bark! This went on for awhile with no one quieting it so I went to the room. The door was ajar so I didn't go in but I could hear the dog sniffing around at me. It was quiet after that... More

We loved this place! From the moment we walked in the door to the day we had to leave. For those persons wanting all the trimmings of a four star resort, you should have ponied up and paid the price to stay elsewhere. We got everything we paid for and totally enjoyed our stay. The Deerhead Inn is a bed... More

I went to the Deer Head Inn with my husband and three children. We went on an overnight inPensylvania in order to meet up with my brother and his wife, and to do some snow tubing. When we arrived, all carrying multiple bags, the woman at the bar didn't look up, but turned her back to us, tapped on the... More

I had booked this inn with high expectations. When we arrived we walked all around the building (which is badly dilapidated on the outside) trying to find an open door. After about 10 minutes we had decided to leave and tried one door one more time. This time the door opened and we were in the bar. A man and... More

We had a very pleasant night in this hotel. The building is full of character, the staff friendly & helpful, the food good quality & reasonably priced and the jazz superb. The owners are currently renovating the property to a high standard. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay somewhere different, but if you like the... More
