Overall the experience was good. But you will notice from my previous comments in the survey that there are issues to be handled. I am not going to repeat them again. We still enjoy coming up every year but the resort owner should not be satisfied with the status quo.

Instead of Lake View we received Pool View and nothing on rebate, terrible service and no one want to listen, except sorry for any inconvenience after paying tons of money for Lake View. I think they mean Pool to be lake.

This is a lovely resort, nice staff and grounds. The extras are FAR too pricey though and the bathrooms isn’t he building we stayed in are tired and outdated considering the very high price. No cleaning service throughout stay. The staff and friendly.

We really loved our room and the views around us. Staff were friendly and did all they could to make the experience great. like the fact we could use the shuttle instead of our car. We are looking forward to coming back again. My girls wanted to stay longer.

Generally speaking, the resort looks old fashioned and the carpets including in the buildings look dirty. Our room was mild clean and we saw some cleanliness flaws especially in the bathroom, such as hair, lint, faucet issues (the lift was saggy). Likewise, even paying the price that we have to pay per stay, resort offers only soap, hair/body products, not a body cream. Bed was quite good, however pillows were very high what made us sometimes, gave up on them. Moreover, when my husband needed to turn to the other side, I woke up many times because my side of the mattress was moved as well. The same took place with him. Again, the resort stay is very expensive comparably to what offers. The only activity that can be done without paying an extra dollar is in the indoor pool. Other than that, everything is paid and I should say is overpriced. And the breakfast at Eclipse restaurant? Good buffet, but per 2 people, we spent $70 while it could be well charged if the price per breakfast was 15 - 20 dollars. We went to different places afterwards to have breakfast, less money was spent and our experience was marvelous. Honestly, Deerhurst won’t be our next option of staying and relaxing when we’ll plan to come back to Huntsville. Perhaps, resort management should review some concepts and bring those up to the owners to see if something can be changed in the matter of enticing more clients, especially those who’re coming for the first time. …

Our stay was great and relaxing. Though the lake was cold and water sports weren’t available yet, there was lots to do with the little ones from hiking, indoor playground, and pool. The staff were very friendly. We stayed in the Summit Lodge. Loved it. The room was spacious and clean with an upgraded kitchenette.

Dear DonnaJay10 Thank you for your review! I'm glad to hear that your whole family had a great time with us. As of May 19th waterfront is now open - though I agree it's a bit chilly this early in the season. There is still lots to do indoors and outdoors. Be sure to check our website for the most up to date activities. We hope to welcome you again soon! Kindest regards, Heather Homeowner & Guest Experience Manager

We stayed in the Bayshore building and had an absolutely breathtaking view. However, it - like the majority of the resort - could use some updating. There were cracks along the ceiling by the patio door and the fan in the bathroom did not work. Absolute minor things that really didn’t effect our stay. The worst part about staying at Bayshore is the distance to the Pavillion. We had to drive to and from the Pavillion multiple times a day for meals and to use all the amenities. So plan ahead if you want to have a few drinks! Food at the resort is good, we purchased the breakfast vouchers and ate each morning at Eclipse. The menu features typical breakfast features such as Eggs Benedict, omelettes, French toast, and pancakes. We had the same server both days - Theresa - who made us feel welcomed and answered all of our questions about the area. She was fantastic! As for amenities - given the time of year - we spent the majority of the time inside. The indoor pool area is large and colorful. However, the pool itself was very cold so we didn’t spend much time in it. We attempted the hot tub, but the chemicals were so powerful it started to burn our eyes and the chemicals left large rashes all over my body. Overall, I would recommend this resort. We plan on hopefully returning next year during the later part of the summer so we are able to enjoy all of the outdoor amenities. …

Dear 27FoodieGirl27 Thank you for your review! I'm glad to hear you were able to enjoy that amazing view of the lake. It's so lovely no matter the season. We are pleased to provide resort shuttle throughout the property, which is convenient when the weather is poor or you're planning a couple drinks at the Pavillion. We're delighted you got to meat Theresa while you were here. We agree 100% that she is fantastic! Be sure to check out our activity page to see all the most up to date things to do per season. We look forward to welcoming you back. Kindest regards, Heather Homeowner & Guest Experience Manager

We stayed in the lakeside lodge, 1 bedroom + den. The building is newer, nicely decorated m, comfortable, and has a full kitchen with all the cooking needs. The resort grounds were tired & seemed poorly unkept. The main building is dated & due for a refresh. The worst aspect was dining, I would not recommend eating on resort. Service quality, ad food quality - for the price, is absurd! We dined at the Maple Pub & Patio & the Eclipse dinner buffet.
