Walls are being painted.  The bar that was upstairs is now in Terrace, and each day the Deerfield Inn gets closer and closer to re-opening after Hurricane Irene forced a year-long shut down of the inn. While rooms are still available in the Carriage House, the renovations and rebuilding of the main inn are in high gear.  They’re looking toward an early spring opening. Stay tuned for more soon and watch the Deerfield Inn’s Facebook page for photos of all the updates.
