Deer Hill Camp

My dad, dogs and I had a wonderful stay at Deer Hill Camp. The dogs were in heaven and enjoyed the huge yard and short walk down to the lake. The surroundings were quiet and wooded, the kayaks on the lake were a great bonus, and there are both easy and rigorous hikes close by. I will be saving this listing for a future stay for sure.

My family had a wonderful weekend at Deer Hill Camp - it was exactly what we needed. The camp is well-stocked and the beds are comfortable, which is frankly rare in rental houses! This building is in fact a former camp, so it's not luxurious but it is very comfortable. The screened-in porch was esp enjoyable. You should be aware that the very last bit of the drive is a dirt track that's rather rutted but we found it navigable and we have a very small low-slung car.

Have you seen Dirty Dancing? Remember Johnny’s cabin? Welcome to Johnny’s cabin. What a wonderful camp with history. If you are looking to get back to the simple things in life, this is the camp for you. My husband and I loved disconnecting from the hustle of our every day and kicking back. There isn’t a TV and we did not miss it. The internet is available is you just have to connect. The camp has a wonderful screened in porch which was my favorite room. There was a window unit AC that I was happy to see. The queen bed was very comfortable. The kitchen is new and has everything you need. There are a couple downsides that I believe anyone with a disability must know. The last part of the driveway to get in the home is quite steep. The camp has a claw foot tub which might be difficult for some individuals to enter and exit. The walk down to the lake is not bad but you can drive almost all the way down as well. The lake is beautiful with chairs, picnic tables, kayaks and dock. It’s a great place to spend the day swimming and making memories. The bottom line, especially after reading other reviews, this was a girls camp. It’s rustic and simple. Everything a person could “need” is available. The water pressure is not like home but there is water. Just done flush or use water when someone is showering. Yes you will see webs, an ant or two, it’s a camp. Do you see where I’m going with this? The camp is not off grid but it’s a great place to get you mind, body and soul off grid. I can’t wait to come back.

This camp had many issues…. No blanket on the bed after repeated requests to have one sent over…57 degrees at night… had to go buy our own. Space heater not sufficient since there was no insulation in walls. Dirty coffee pot Stained and dirty sinks Soap dispenser corroded Cobwebs on walls Dirty & Ripped screens Dirty fireplace Stained so-called bathroom curtains Stained furniture No kitchen towels, drainboard or mats to put dishes we washed on. Water ran down the fireplace stone when it rained. Not inviting at all. Requested a refund.

My sister and I enjoyed our vacation. We were able to cook our own healthy meals, enjoy outdoor exercise, and indoor games. It was relaxing in a tranquil setting.
