Had been looking forward to staying here since our daughter started med school. Had breakfast there and it was delicious! So when the opportunity presented we took it. Unfortunately we were disappointed, the room we stayed in had just been updated...bamboo flooring..light fixtures that were less than keeping with the original antique building...the price of the room just didn't fit...

You're probably considering this because you have to be in the area for a specific reason. This isn't downtown Chicago where you have hundreds of options. If you're in the area for business or visiting family, this is probably your quaintest option. It's very quaint in the kind of grandma's house kind of way. Actual keys (no key cards) on... More

Stayed here a few years ago for 10 days and recalled a nice charming perfectly located little hotel. This time we came in March. The room was well proportioned and the decor very similar. But the carpets were worn and generally everything seemed worn and outdated. The toilet was not cleaned and the bell boy bringing our luggage up had... More

I booked this hotel due to its location close to Lake Forest College. We were coming for a visit with our daughter and arriving in the eve. so I wanted to be close. It is right in the "village" of Lake Forest. It was easy to find. When we pulled up in front there was no place to pull over... More

The Deer Path is my preferred hotel whenever I am out in Lake Forest for business. The staff is friendly, the hotel charming, the food is wonderful. The wifi is unpredictable, otherwise I've always had a very comfortable stay!

I think this is a fine place to stay in Lake Forest if you are going to a wedding in the area. The weddings AT the place are a little disuptive for other guests. Also, we could hear the people next to us through th eair vent clear as day...so no hanky panky in our room. It is a beutiful... More

I planned several meetings at this hotel during the past summer. While our company's guests stayed here, I did not stay overnight myself. This is a historic inn originally built in 1929. It maintains all the old world charm and details. It's located in Lake Forest, Illinois, an extremely affluent suburb north of Chicago. Our guests mentioned going for runs... More

Pros: free wifi, free breakfast, clean Cons: the building looks too old, always afraid that the elevator might break anytime
