The Deer's Head Inn

We stayed and dined at the Deer’s Head Inn for three days. The inn had character and charm. Cozy bedding, clean rooms and conveniently right beside a tops and drug store. We enjoyed having our complimentary coffee on the patio in the morning.

The Restaurant had delicious plates, great cocktails and wonderful, warm service. Also great size portions. The fries, pasta, and caramel apple bread pudding were the highlight!

We had a blast on our trip and can’t wait to come back!

If you would like an eclectic and fun place to stop this is it! We enjoyed our overnight stay: perused the bookshelf and played a couple of old records. Four rooms have been remodeled over the restaurant, and ours was very comfortable. This 1808 inn has character!

Stopped here for dinner on the way home. Food was fantastic; I like pulled pork so when I heard it was a special I had to get what turned out to be the most delicious pulled pork sandwich I’ve ever had, hands down. People were great too, efficient and very friendly. We’ll be back soon.

Yessss!!
Go here!!

Weary travelers found a heavenly stay here with a delicious restaurant and friendly atmosphere.

If you have time come for longer, but if you are driving home and need a bed for the night.. Stop here.. Sooo much better than a road side hotel and now we want to return and stay longer.. Check out the area as well.

Rooms are great.. Food is prepared with fine attention to detail catering to all dietery needs.. Yes even gluten free and vegan choices.. By and far though the thing that stands out the most is the warmth of the place. From that first phone call to inquire about a room to sitting in the restaurant to the exchanges between customers we witnessed... Bravo!! and thank you!! 😁❤We will be back.

Added bonus we woke to snow!!

Nice to have a record player serenading me to sleep and then turning off when it's done. Close to a nice ice cream shop that's open till midnight. Good vibe in Elizabethtown.

Had a lovely meal at the Deer's Head Inn restaurant this past weekend. Delicious cocktails and appetizers. We enjoyed the tomato and burrata salad as well as the halibut special - both fantastic. Will definitely be back!

Stayed there last year on a road trip to Boston. I was upgraded to the library room, and had a fantastic stay. I loved the turntable, and had fun playing music. The restaurant downstairs also has fantastic locally-prepared food. It is also really close to the High Peaks for a quick hike. 15/10 recommend.

What a great place to slow down and relax. Almost like being home. Best amenity - no T.V. in room, just a turntable, with some great vintage albums to select from and an extensive library. Very comfortable and quiet.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay at the Deer's Head Inn. The Inn is charming and quaint, and very clean and comfortable. Our room was nicely furnished and had everything we needed for our night's stay (mini fridge, clean bathroom, comfortable bed, etc.).
The owner was extremely generous when I accidentally booked the wrong dates! They were kind and allowed us to stay the night we intended with no extra charge or hassle.
Highly recommend this sweet place!

This was my first time coming to Elizabethtown and I was here for business. The Deer's Head Inn was such a nice place to spend the night. The Inn is so cute and I absolutely love the book selection and the area to sit and read. The bed was comfortable and it was nice and quiet. Not like staying at large hotels with the constant noise of people walking up and down hallways and slamming doors. Rob also let me check out an hour later with no issues. That was very helpful as my meeting got rescheduled. If I come back to Elizabethtown, whether for business or pleasure, I will definitely stay here again. Thank you!
Edit - I changed to 5 stars because my stay was fantastic. Now I know what days to stay so I can try the food :)

My wife and I enjoyed drinks at the bar in the restaurant. The bartender was incredibly knowledgeable about the spirits and had excellent drink recommendations from her custom menu. Would definitely go there again when in the area.

The Deer's Head, beyond it's status as an historic place, is just a wonderful place to have a superb meal. The menus are imaginative and seasonal, the ingredients sparklingly fresh, the preparation and presentation flawless, and the owners and staff members universally professional, personable, and helpful. We feel very fortunate to have this gem right here in Elizabethtown.

I’ve stayed at Deer’s Head Inn four years in a row over Labor Day Weekend and every time it has been amazing. So peaceful, clean, and the restaurant is absolutely delicious. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Service was great, food was amazing. The corn starter was to die for with the feta cheese. Fries and feta dip are the best I’ve ever had. Will be back!

Awesome upgrades to a place I remember well from my youth. Everything was fantastic, including the service and ambiance.
Update: Returned to stay at the inn after enjoying our meal on last year's visit. Lovely, modern, comfortable and quirky. Didn't realize the restaurant was closed both days we booked, but the self check-in was easy and convenient. Would definitely recommend!

This was our first time visiting the Adirondacks from New York City. From the tasty burgers and homemade italian sausage to the fantastic service from check in to checkout me and my fiance had a wonderful time. Definitely worth the price and will definitely be returning. The staff suggested great activities and other restaurants around town and you could tell they love showcasing the best of the Adirondacks and Elizabeth town and it really enhanced our experience of our first time to upper New York. Thank you Deer’s Head Inn!

can't go wrong with the restaurant here! its always very delicious 😋 staff and service is always friendly and welcoming... can't go wrong with their choice of drafts on tap..good selections and have a good wine and cocktails menu. the steak Frites, briskets, 1808 burger, scallop's (when they have them) are a must order!👍 on a cold day the soup of a day is a good go to and if you're not overly hungry the salads hit the spot! pretty popular place!!! so make reservations before going!!! and don't forget to tip well!! the staff there are always hard working and running around to meet the needs!!! so please don't forget to tip these fine locals!! enjoy your experience at the deers head inn!👍

We are regulars at this amazing farm to table restaurant. It dawned on me I have not done a review. I have never had a meal where I said, “ it was ok” whenever we eat there, we are amazed at how delicious everything is. It’s a place you just want to sit & relax & enjoy each morsel you are served. It is actually the only place I have ever eaten alone-It was always out of my comfort zone, but soon realized after sitting at the bar that it no longer would be out of my comfort zone! Make a reservation as this place is 🔥tables fill up fast.

The staff was great ! The food fantastic! and it had a great vibe.
Spent 3 nights there.. would do it again.

A hidden treasure! We stayed overnight in one of their dog friendly rooms. It was clean, spacious and decorated with love.. I am a huge music lover and appreciated the vinyl collection and record player. The check in process was super easy and the staff is so kind and friendly. If you visit don't miss the food. It is unbelievably delicious with something for everyone. Very high quality food and drink!!! We will absolutely be back.
