Detailed Reviews
My family had an AMAZING stay at Deer Meadows. This was our second visit. Stayed once in the motel and recently stayed in one of the cottages. The cottages are clean and spacious. There is a sand beach for guests as well as grills, firepit, swimming area, kayaks, row boats, water slide for kids, waffle Wednesday on the beach, lawn games, and much more. Best of all is the amazing view of 7th Lake. The property is very well maintained and clean. Minutes from the main stretch in Inlet. A short drive to Old Forge and Water Safari. We also loved that the cottages were spaced out nicely. Very relaxing inside and outside. We didn't want to leave. Highly recommended!!

A good place to rest. About 2 miles outside of inlet which keeps you away from the crowds. Nice setting, well maintained. Very friendly. Easy access to many sights. Right on 7th lake. Has cabins as well as rooms. This is a unique old motor lodge that’s been updated. A wonderful environment. Across the road you’ll find access to the lake, a place to swim and canoes and kayaked you may make use of.

Myself and my extended family have been coming to Deer Meadows since 02. We have stayed there for both summer and winter vacations every year. We are avid jet-skiers, boaters and snowmobilers. Deer Meadows has always provided us with a beautiful vacation experience. The cottages with their georgous stone fireplaces nestled in the pines allow you to step back in time and enjoy natures real beauty. Building our own fire at night in the cottages was always a hit with the kids. We've made many lifelong friends over the years as there is a high return customer rate.... usually seeing the same familys year after year summer and winter. They have a great beach facility with plenty of room for swimming, boating, and all types of water sports. Boat dock space is available and have brought our boat almost every year. The nightly bon-fire during the summer is a great melting pot for all the guests to reminise the days activites and unwind. The facilities are older but clean as a whistle, and absolutely fit in with the Adirondack way of life. Brings us all back to the "good old days". The service is second to none with the owner normally on site 24-7. Just simply good people there.
i can't believe some of the lame reviews posted earlier - which prompted me to post the real story about Deer Meadows. After staying there once or twice you feel like family, and are treated as such. Once you experience it , you'll be back again and again.....

The motel and cottages have their own private beach with free canoe and paddleboat rentals. The motel is basic, as the rooms are of average size and somewhat dated. However, the rooms are extremely clean and the price is reasonable. While this may not be the fanciest motel, the service is friendly and the beach nearby makes it worthwhile. I didn't stay at the cottages, but they looked pretty nice and they're closer to the water.

My husband and I have been staying at Deer Meadows for 12 years. At least twice in winter, occasionally summer and fall. Rates are extremely reasonable, rooms are spotless, more than adequate in size , perfectly comfortable in any weather. Cheri is constantly renovating and up-dating the rooms and cottages. She manages to improve but keep things in the Adirondack ambience that we love and expect..
Cheri has gone out of her way to help us when our snowmobile trailer broke down.. She is one of the most reasonable, accommodating, understanding, people I know. A problem? Just talk to her and Cheri will do everything she can to make your visit perfect and memorable. You can enjoy the sandy beach, free boats, nightly campfires and the amazing view of the lake and mountains. A perfect Adirondack experience! Isn't this why we spend our vacation time here?!!

We needed a room for one more night and the only place with any vacancy was Deer Meadows. The room was over priced, dingy with wet carpeting, and horribly small. This motel was in need of major renovations. Amazing that the motel we stayed in the 2 nights before (Country Club in Thendara) had far more amenities, a more spacoius and reasonably priced compared to Deer Meadows.

Responded 2 Aug 2010
I was shocked,and disappointed by this large family's review. All accommodations aty Deer Meadows are exceedingly clean, comfortable and charming. Granted, our rooms are not the super-sized overly spacious rooms you'd find in brand new hotels, but I pride myself and my business practices on customer satisfaction and doing whatever is necessary to meet that goal. I was never informed during this family's stay that there ever was an issue with the accommodation - I hope they took advantage of the free use of the boats and perhaps even joined us at the private beach for our nightly bonfire. Had I know there was an issue, I would have addressed it immediately to their satisfaction. This businss is built on customer service, customer satisfaction, family, and fun - and I invite this family back to reserve the accommodation that will comfortably fit their family's size, and let them see what we're all about. Customers returning over 30, 40 and even 50 yearsconsecutively will attet to this. Come join us at Deer Meadows - it's a great family property!

We've just come back from a long (not long enough!) weekend at Deer Meadows, there were two couples, myself & my husband Charlie & Janelle & Andy, two dear friends. We went to celebrate my birthday. This was Andys' first time in the Adks. & he loved it! Our only complaint was the rainy weather. If Cherie can figure out how to improve THAT it'd be perfect!! We were very pleasantly surprised at the size of our cottage (#12) HUGE, clean, LOTS of hot water, plus everything you'd need for an extended stay...plates, pots, pans cups, glasses you name it! The beds were nice & firm, lots of blankets to stay cozy. Peaceful & quiet, you could hear the loons calling on the lake, deer & turkey close by...just about perfect! We would stay with Cherie again in a heartbeat! Thanks for the great time! Now...about that weather....

If you are looking for a a quiet getaway retreat with a family friendly atmosphere and beautiful surroundings this is the place to go.During the day you can take out a paddle boat,rowboat or canoe..In the evening you can sit on one of the two small docks and gaze at the stars or sit by the campfire and visit with the other guests.Cherie,the owner is always around to help with anything you may need or want. It is located a few minutes from Inlet..It is a place where a solo traveler would feel at home or where parents can sit and watch their children swim. I visit Deer Meadows as often as I can.
