This was one of the coolest properties we ever stayed at! The staff was awesome, the detail and creativity the owners put into the property is unreal. They curated a true upscale camp experience. The rooms are very clean with comfy beds. Multiple fire pits, yard games, great communal space/lounge. We ate dinner and breakfast onsite, both were excellent. Can’t wait to go back, bummed we only stayed for one night!

We loved staying at Camp DeForest. The attention to detail was really amazing and we loved the whole camp theme. You can tell that so much thought and consideration was put into the whole experience. The food was really good, staff was friendly and accommodating and our room was well appointed. The bed was a bit firm for me, but I understand everyone has their own preferences. Overall a great stay in a beautiful woodsy location.
