We had a lovely evening there last night, with some great music. I see that some reviewer have complained about being asked to be quiet during the sets. Au contraire, the only sour note for me was a loud couple next to be at the bar talking incessantly during the music, which was being recorded. If only the staff had... More

Good location for exploring Shawnee Mountain area attractions. It is a nice historic inn, no-frills but spacious rooms, clean, antique pieces here or there, walking distance to a couple of good restaurants. Ask for detailed instructions on how to operate the thermostats - we had a large party that occupied most of the rooms in the entire inn, and every... More

My husband and I had a great time here recently. It was our first time, and it was even more charming than we had expected. The room was furnished w/interesting vintage pieces, and the bathroom was new and sparkling. We took advantage of the room/food/music cover package. We had reserved a couple of weeks ahead, and a very nice table... More

Dear Deer Head Inn, I came in Friday night with a group of seven people celebrating a birthday with a family member. We were very excited to find a live music venue we could spend this special evening. However, our night became less than enjoyable when a staff member came up to me to announce that the piano player commented... More

As far as my wife and I are concerned, the Deer Head Inn couldn't have been better. Our room was stunning: huge and elegant with an extremely comfortable king-sized bed. The pine floors were beautiful. Yes, there are no televisions and internet connections but the view from our window of two weeping willow trees was better than any TV show.... More

My friend and I stumbled upon the Deer Head Inn after biking from Dover, NJ. We were lucky there was still room at the Inn, one to be exact. This is the only place in town but they don't fleece you like other places would. Our room was small, but comfortable and clean. There was no TV, but there was... More

Came through the town of Delaware Water Gap the night before setting out on a canoe trip on the Delaware River. Looking for a place to stay we stumbled right into this blissful place full of history and jazz with a great bar and big porch, with wonderful rooms and a positively great bunch of people. We ended up staying... More

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
