Deerhurst Resort

I still have no idea if this is a 3 star or 4 star hotel. I think it’s more of a 4 star hotel. Yes, the building is old, but the waterfront and everything is beautiful. How they managed everything is very cozy. I adored the location, very close to the town of Huntsville where there are many restaurants that are likely better than the ones in the hotel. Also considerably close to Algonquin. Algonquin was great, and we didn’t really stay around the resort much. Weren’t a lot of activities to do at the resort honestly, given the time of year. Kayaks and canoes are free to use, included in payment, so that was nice!

The room was clean, the view was stunning, looking over the lake. We had a room that had a lovely ||spacious balcony. Nice walking areas. The Lookout Trail that was located across the road was beautiful with a lot of rocks and worth the trek. ||The Elcipse Restaurant was buffet and we dined in for breakfast and dinner. Very clean and the food was really good. Also, provided a big selection.

Everything was great from the start to the end. We chose the romantic package, entered the room with prosecco and chocolate covered strawberries. The room was huge and the balcony was great to have and wake up to, seeing the lake every morning. Location is peaceful and gorgeous views. Although it was raining the trails were great, the lookout at the end of the trail was cool. Arcade was fun and the bars at the resort had a lively atmosphere with live singing. Breakfast was included in our package and the buffet had a wide selection of food. We did kayaking which was included and a lot of fun. The staff and customer service was great, everyone was extremely friendly. Truly a great weekend and highly recommended. I initially read the negative reviews and was hesitant, yes some of the rooms are little dated but for the price and amenities I really enjoyed my stay here and will def be coming back :)

A truly remarkable place in Northern Ontario to stay at. From the water sports to tie off on the golf course there’s always something for the family and yourself to do there. Attending a conference so I was able to enjoy some of the food that was offered. trying different dishes throughout my stay from ordering at the bar or the restaurant was good. Service was outstanding though.

Great customer service, Updated 1 bedroom rooms with Kitchenette are good for making a home made meal if you don't fancy eating out. Resteraunts in Deerhurst, we have never had a bad experience, tasty food! Swimming pool, Soccer-Golf, kayaks, canoes, and many other free things to do around the resort! Very nice resort!

Overall trip was amazing, kids loved it. Great place to come close to nature. The only sad part was the bloke at the boating area kept asking my friend and his wife for wrist bands and their room keys as if they weren't staying at the resort. It felt really disrespectful towards the guests that would stay there and be questions about their authenticity

Disappointing Experience at Deerhurst Resort – Not Worth the Hype We had high expectations for our stay at Deerhurst Resort, but unfortunately, it was marred by poor management and a lack of consideration for guests' comfort. Upon arrival, we faced an incredibly long check-in queue with about 30-35 people ahead of us. It took nearly 45 minutes just to get checked in, which set the tone for a frustrating stay. What was especially disappointing was the handling of breakfast. My wife is 7 months pregnant, and we had to wait an additional 40 minutes to be seated for breakfast due to overbookings. Despite explaining our situation, the front desk's only response was to offer a refund rather than trying to make any real effort to accommodate us. It felt dismissive and completely lacking in empathy. To make matters worse, on the second day, the much-promoted unlimited buffet breakfast was unavailable. Instead, we were redirected to a pub on-site where we were allowed just one item each from a limited menu, capped at $18.50 per person. The food was basic and certainly didn’t feel like a fair substitute, especially when Eclipse restaurant was fully booked for Easter Brunch — something the resort should have planned better for. Overall, it was a frustrating and disappointing experience, especially for what’s supposed to be a premium resort. I expected better service, better planning, and certainly more consideration for guests with special needs. Not returning anytime soon.

I had a great experience with the front desk. The manager for guest services (Nuble??) worked with me on arranging a room at a great price at the last minute. He was courteous and went out of his way to get this done. Room was clean and Eclipse restaurant just had the best buffet, though on the pricey side.
