Deer Path Inn Could Open By End of Year

The Deer Path Inn in Lake Forest is expected to open three months ahead of schedule and possible before the year’s end.

General Manager Matt Barba made the announcement this week at a meeting of the Lake Forest Lake Bluff Chamber of Commerce and noted the work is expected to be completed less than a year before a massive renovation began, according to the Daily North Shore.

“I’ll have a specific date in the next 30 days but we’ll be open by the end of the year,” Barba said. “We want to do it right. We’re going to see where we’re at in the next 30 days,” he added, explaining why he could not give a precise date now.

Renovations at the longtime Lake Forest staple include improvements at all of the hotel’s 57 guest rooms, three restaurants and 8,500 square feet of meeting and event space.

The famous Lake Forest hotel that has housed guests such as Ray Charles, Bill Murray and the Beach Boys.
