Deer Mountain Inn

Catskills


There are only six rooms and two cottages (sleeping up to nine guests) at this gorgeous arts-and-crafts-style property hidden within a vast mountainside estate. It's all been interior designed to the max.

Go for walks that open up onto grand views of the Catskills, and return to the inn to dine in the atmospheric restaurant and bar (open to the public for dinner only).
