could you give me an idea of price to stay at Deer hurt Inn for the Elvis weekend in Oct?Thanks
Hi Theresa,
The room rates vary depending on which type of accommodation you are interested in. There are still some Pavillion rooms left which are hotel style rooms in the main building where the venue is. I believe that the Pavillion room are $189 per night double occupancy. There are also a number of bachelor and multi-bedroom suites in the buildings surrounding Deerhurst which are also booked through Deerhurst.
Here is a link to our accommodations page which will tell you more about Deerhurst rooms with a link to book directly and also a phone number if you would prefer to call:
