Found this place by luck as we didn't have a reservation anywhere and were just looking for a one night stay in the area. Couldn't feel luckier. Great room, awesome view, and the hospitality couldn't be better. Love the fact that they still use real room keys. Will definitely stay here again when in the area.

Spectacular! Maria couldn't have been any nicer! Goes above & beyond! View is amazing! The entire place is immaculate!
Absolutely perfect location, we visited Brasstown Bald and this was our overnight stay. We were made to feel so welcome, Maria gave us ideas on places to dine with our fur baby. The rooms are spotless, with a lovely seating area to look out over the lake. Plenty of space to walk our pooch ..and poop bags supplied. In room coffee, microwave & fridge! Will definitely be staying here again
Deerfield Inn saved our weekend getaway! We had a cabin on the river booked that turned out to have water damage and mold, so at the last minute we booked there because it was nearby and we will never rent a cabin in the area again after finding this gem! Clean rooms, the sweetest staff, cozy beds with a yummy breakfast, and a magnificent view, can't go wrong! Looking forward to our next visit already!
Lovely long weekend visit , such a treat to step back in time with immaculate grounds/common areas, homey furnishings and feel, attentive and friendly service from Laurel and Maria. Our Suggestion “wouldn’t change a thing” Chris and Carol Camp
This was a beautiful and well kept hotel. The room was clean and very well setup. The scenery from our room (11) was beautiful. You could look out and see the lake. The people working there was super friendly and helpful with all our needs. The morning coffee and snacks in the office hit the spot. I would definitely like to come back and visit longer.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
