About Deerfield Spa
Deerfield Spa specializes in seasonal (April through October) fitness programs for adults. The day kicks off with yoga and a walk at 7:15 a.m., followed by as many as 10 fitness classes. (Participation in all activities is voluntary.) Among the offerings are aerobics, yoga, Pilates, boxercise, tai chi, and qigong. Because the property admits a maximum of 33 guests at a time, classes are usually small. The property also caters to groups or girlfriend getaways, and highlights include a seasonal life coach and advanced skincare.

My new annual vacation.

What a great place. I was looking for a trip for my birthday and I wanted to go to a spa but not just to lounge around. I came across Deerfield and it was just what I was looking for. I wanted something with nice scenery, comfortable and that would be great for me health and pocket wise. Deerfield was perfect. I choose the 10-day special and I am so glad I did. The food, the exercise and the staff totally met and exceeded my expectations. You have the choice to totally relax and do nothing or you can really make this place work for you. I took advantage of the exercise classes while I was there and came home 13.5 lbs lighter! NO JOKE! and enjoyed every minute of it. I felt good and slept well the whole time I was there.
The guests and the staff are a hoot. Everyone is so welcoming. Some of the guests have been coming for years and some, like me, were first timers. My mother met me there and we had a ball. We were so comfortable that when we were sitting in either of our rooms we felt like we were upstairs at a family member or friend's house. One guest played the piano and I ran and grabbed my flute and we had great time singing and playing. I even had leisurely evenings in the lounge working on a puzzle. My mother booked her return trip before she left. We traded a lot of numbers and e-mails and have already been in touch with a lot of folks we met there.
I had 3 massages, Swedish, Hot Stone and Lomi Lomi, while I was there and with all the exercise they were welcomed and did the job. Cynthia was so nice, gives a great massage and also did my eyebrows. It has been so hard for me to find someone to do them correctly and she is a real pro. I did most of my exercise classes with Cyndi and she is a real gem and super encouraging. The chef did a great job and the wait staff, Adam and Keith, are the best! I got a kick out of making them laugh. Deerfield in not in the least pretentious but their wait staff is super professional, very polished and highly accommodating and they learn your name very quickly.
The only thing I missed while I was there was not being able to get a manicure on site. I did stop and get one just a short distance from Deerfield. That is the only thing I can think of that I would change. If there was something else, it wasn't a big deal since I can't seem to remember anything else now. I really liked my room, housekeeping respects how you have things arranged and I honestly was never distracted or really aware of the road noise others write about. I was a happy camper all around and even went antiquing one day in town.
I would travel here alone and I would be totally comfortable, they really look out for you. Joan is great and when she hugs you at the end of your stay you know it is genuine. I will return for my birthday next year as well and I am really looking forward to it.

Could not be a better description. I went for 10 days and I loved it. I think what makes it so special is that the staff is just fabulous. I did many classes and then sat by the pool and slept and then a few times did the pool class at 3PM. The outdoor pool is heated so it's easy to get in when it's chilly. I really enjoyed the food. I went alone and I am hoping a few will show up next year...we certainly talked about it. This isn't Canyon Ranch....how they describe it is really right on. It is clean, comfortable and friendly. Please keep in mind when you read these reviews that some people are just not happy unless they are complaining.

This is not a spa

This is purely a weight loss "camp" with a focus on portion control. It is not a spa. There's no spa-like atmosphere and the massages my friend and I had were average, at best. The website is very misleading in terms of how it reflects the food, it's grounds and facilities, and the activities offered.
Worst of all, the owner checked us out and didn't even care to ask the simple question, "how was your stay".
We cut our stay short and it was still too long.

We visited with a group of friends and were disappointed. Had to choose our meals in advance, portions were controlled, spa was in the basement, fitness in a separate building and the rooms were cozy but dated. Felt like we made a wrong turn back to the 50's. for the price it should have been wonderful, not average.

Very accommondating and responsive staff who offer personalized service without being asked; they get to know you. Great variety of classes with instructors who take the time to explain and demonstrate and gear the class to the participants needs. Classes are held if even one or two people show up which offers even more personal attention.
Wonderful food and interesting guests. Heated pool was a treat and the heated treatment tables/beds are luxurious. Nice lounge areas and very comfortable bedding. Had a great time.

In-experienced staff. I have never had a cold water facial before, paper towels were used instead of cotton towels. She never used the steam to open pours. I had to take a hot shower and do extraction at home. I left feeling cold and my skin did not look better.

Pamper yourself in "Cozy" Comfort

5.00 out of 5 stars
I just returned from Deerfield Spa and had the time of my life and will being going every year!
The owner Joan and the ENTIRE staff are amazing! I felt as though I had known them all my life from day one. The fitness classes were wonderful for all fitness levels. The food was not only good for you but was also delicious. You are never hungry! The Spa "Treatments" were unbelievable.....I highly reccomemd a Lomi Lomi massage but EVERY treatment was a wonderful experience. You can keep yourself busy from morning until evening or you can relax and pamper yourself all day. I was there for one week and paticipated in many classes that were offered, Yoga, Pool Aerobics, Chair Aerobics and Diva Dancing were not only FUN but a great workout too! That is just a few of the classes offered. I adored all the instructors. Rooms are quaint and in a 'homey" atmosphere. I will be there at least once each year. I can not rave enough about Deerfiield Spa and staff....you must go and experience it yourseelf!!! Beyond having a wonderful week with the staff....I was fortunate to meet some delightful "guests" and will no doubt be enjoying them for years to come.................Laurie

Warm, Wonderful Spa Experience

I recently returned from spending several weeks at Deerfield Spa. My main goal was to quit smoking but I managed to not only stay off the cigarettes but also lose weight. I even had fun while doing it. If you are looking for a casual, friendly but well run destination spa, I can definitely recommend a trip to Deerfield.
Deerfield Spa excels at customer service. The staff really makes you feel welcome and as if they care that your stay is a positive experience. The spa services staff is friendly and happy to chat or answer questions whenever they are around. The fitness instructors are friendly and very knowledgeable.
I took 4 or 5 different fitness classes or went on hikes every day. I picked up new skills and came away feeling healthier than I have in years. I even learned to love some new forms of fitness I never would have tried on my own – like boxing. The instructors really made me want to push myself and I have even stuck with it at home so far!
The food is excellent and healthy. The chefs managed to prepare different but interesting meals every day that I was there. The salmon in particular is wonderful and the turkey burger for lunch is excellent. In addition, the dining room staff always was willing to go out of their way to ensure I had anything I needed.
I received an excellent facial, a very informative reflexology massage and a Lomi Lomi massage that was simply one of the best massages I ever had. Other patrons raved about the spa services they received while there are well.
Finally, the wonderful atmosphere among the guests and the chance to get to meet and know so many new people was a very positive aspect of my stay at Deerfield. I made several friends that I remain in touch with and met a variety of interesting people I hope to see at Deerfield again.
Although Deerfield is casual, the service is top notch. I highly recommend Deerfield Spa.

Superb Quality Service

My expectation from Deerfield was to relax, re-learn healthy eating habits, kick-start an exercise routine, reward myself, escape in nature and surround myself with positivity. Deerfield exceeded my expectations.
I stayed at the annex, which is a flower-lined quick walk from the main house. My very clean large room faced the perfectly heated pool, had a dresser, chest of drawers, 2 night tables, rocking chair, flat screen TV, enough hangers in the closet to accommodate all of my shirts, a soft robe, and the biggest bed I have ever slept in. I slept with the windows open, ceiling fan on low and really slept. Fresh air and night nature noises...ahhh.
Deerfield is the gold-standard in customer service. The experts at Deerfield take the time to remember your name, share stories and laughs, and still maintain their professionalism - that delicate balance in customer service impresses me greatly.
I cannot express enough accolades to the exercise trainers, hiking guide, chefs, spa therapists and guest lecturers. Joan, the owner, must have hand-picked them from the Best of the Best or Who's Who. All are committed to their respective professions and really enjoy what they do. I took every exercise class my body would allow me to take; and, by the end of my stay, I had muscle definition again! The trainers are highly skilled and make working out so much fun. I went on a 3-mile hike and a sunrise hike and learned about history and nature while relishing in the great outdoors. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. I had a facial, reflexology, salt scrub and lomi lomi massage...I'm worth it! I can honestly say that they were the best spa services I have ever experienced. They certainly surpassed any spa service I had in Vegas or high-end salons. The chefs are outstanding. They create a variety of low-cal dishes that are delicious and filling. The soups and desserts should be mass produced and sold in stores. I also attended 2 lectures: (1) health and wellness and (2) nutrition. The lecturers provided up-to-date practical information and presented it so I can retain it and practice it in the future.
Clientele: The guests that I met were sincere and genuine. Conversations were easy. Most guests are return visitors; some have been returning for over 10 years. People returning to the same place year after year after year speaks volumes about the quality of the place...Deerfield Spa offers something special - something people cannot get anywhere else.
I have nothing negative to say about Deerfield Spa. I have traveled for over 20 years, and I have never taken the time to write a review about a vacation prior to this one. I felt compelled to share my experience because it was that great. If you do not visit Deerfield Spa and take advantage of all they have to offer, you are short-changing yourself.
My only tip is that you check out the website or call the office a few days before going. There is no hype on the website - it's all true and provides all the information you need to know, and the office personnel will fill you in on the rest.

This is a very simple spa experience that is not in any way pretentious. It's small, cozy and basic. Services are good and there are a variety of activities that are not too demanding. While young twenty somethings may not find the classes not challenging enough, the older crowd will appreciate the opportunity to get moving. Only an outdoor pool is available. Food is not the most appetizing,but will help most lose a few pounds. Friendly staff and guests. Good value for the money.
