The wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary in their Celebration room. The overall atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. Live music on Saturday night was a great surprise. The games available to play while sipping wine in the common areas are great and fun touches.
Breakfast was delicious, and so were the mimosas... the stuffed french toast is amazing. The daytime menu, at least this time of year, is very limited. The limited menu would be understandable due to it being what I assume is a very slow time of year. I'd suggest just a short drive to clarion to get some food if you're hungry for something other than pizza.
The room was very cozy, the jacuzzi tub was great, and the towel warmer and ambiance of the room was great. We found the couch and bed to be uncomfortable, but that could just be our personal preference.
The staff, was incredibly helpful, pleasant, and friendly. However, the main thing keeping this from being a 5-star review was the attitude of the manager, Debbie, as we were checking out. We had a question as to whether our room on Sunday night qualified for the sun-thurs advertised special, not necessarily expecting it, but curious if it qualified. She immediately seemed to get very defensive, short, and near combative as though she was preparing for an in-depth argument from us. This was a very disappointing way to end what was an amazing stay and overall great experience. I didn't mind not qualifying for the special price, I completely understood why it didn't, though the attitude, especially from a manager, was completely unnecessary and unwarranted.
Overall though, thank you for a great anniversary weekend to The Deer...
Read moreMy wife and I stayed here for two nights in early November 2024. Like other reviewers, there is too much to mention, but here are some of our highlights. After we checked in, we were given a personal tour of the B&B. We were shown where the coffee/tea station, pubic bathrooms, hot tub, etc. were. We felt very secure, codes are required for the exterior doors as well as our room. The attention to small details is amazing, for example: a handwritten welcome note in our room and our names on a small chalk board at the breakfast table made us feel very welcome. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The grounds and buildings are well kept, clean, and comfortable. We really appreciated the outdoor two person hot tub, which we used several times. There are many places, inside and outside, to hang out, read a book or just relax. We had a great lunch there with one of our nieces. We enjoyed the trail in the woods. We highly recommend...
Read moreStayed 2 nights at the winery in Shippenville. First night was good, it was a very nice room with hot tub. Second night we were in the hot tub around 10:30 or 11 and a very high pitch squealing started. We were forced to get out of the hot tub and actually had to leave the room because the squealing was so bad. Went down stairs and no one was around. So we called the emergency number that they gave us. Left 3 voice mails and finally on the 4th call we got an answer. So then it was another 15 minutes before someone arrived and shut it off. Ruined our valentine night for sure after sitting down in the lobby for 40 minutes. In the morning I ask what they would do for our troubles. They offered a bottle of wine. Mind you the room was $250 a night. They ended up with giving me $30 off which was a joke. I ask for $100 off but they said they can't. I wouldn't recommend the place for anyone if thats how they treat...
