Luxury Living at Deerfoot Inn
Comfort and Home Systems
The finishes at Deerfoot Inn are where quiet luxury reveals itself. Brooklinen linens and towels, Lutron smart lighting that shifts each room from bright to warmly dimmed with a touch, and a whole-home generator that keeps the hot tub, steam room, and sauna running through any Catskills weather. The kind of details you only notice because everything feels effortlessly right.
Deerfoot Inn is stocked with Brooklinen throughout: the same 820 GSM Turkish cotton towels and hotel-grade linens that define the benchmark for quiet luxury in home bedding. Soft, absorbent, and generously sized, they are the kind of towels that make stepping out of the steam shower feel like a genuine spa moment in the Catskills.
Every bath at Deerfoot Inn is stocked with Kiehl's, alongside Brooklinen linens on every bed. Quiet-luxury details, chosen deliberately.
An award winning, cold pressed extra virgin olive oil from Tuscany, stocked in our kitchen.

Deerfoot Inn was completely rebuilt about four years ago to a premium standard. Behind the classic Catskills character, everything from the systems to the finishes is essentially new.
Deerfoot Inn's Lutron system shifts the atmosphere of every room with a single touch, from bright and energizing during the day to warm and deeply dimmed by evening.

Deerfoot Inn's whole-home generator keeps the hot tub, steam room, and sauna running seamlessly through any Catskills power outage. It activates automatically within seconds, meaning the wellness circuit and every appliance in the house stays fully operational no matter what the weather does outside along Bushnellsville Creek.
Spa and Wellness
The wellness circuit at Deerfoot Inn is Hamptons-quality in the Catskills: outdoor cedar hot tub, standalone cedar sauna, steam room, radiant heated bathroom floors, and a dual showerhead shower. Every element is designed to slow you down and restore you, set against the quiet beauty of Bushnellsville Creek.
Cedar is naturally insulating, which is why it feels so right in cold mountain air. Steam rises, the water stays perfectly warm, and the scent of the wood makes the experience feel elemental, the kind of soak along Bushnellsville Creek that stays with you long after you leave the Catskills. Quiet luxury at its most restorative.
Deerfoot Inn's standalone outdoor cedar sauna releases aromatic cedar compounds when heated, including cedrol, which has documented calming and sedative properties. The scent alone is actively restorative, and the heat completes the circuit, a Hamptons-quality wellness ritual set in the Catskills.
The steam shower at Deerfoot Inn operates at 100% humidity, and the benefits are well documented: reduced blood pressure, improved circulation, clearer skin, and a mental stillness that is hard to achieve anywhere else. Phones cannot survive the humidity, and that is entirely the point of a quiet luxury retreat in the Catskills.

The Kitchen
The chef's kitchen at Deerfoot Inn is appointed for serious cooking and refined entertaining.

Sub-Zero uses a dual refrigeration system that keeps the fridge and freezer at separate humidity levels, plus NASA-developed air purification technology that cleans the air every 20 minutes. Ingredients stay genuinely fresher for longer, which matters when you have stocked the chef's kitchen at Deerfoot Inn for a full weekend of considered cooking in the Catskills.

One handles prep and washing produce while the other handles cleanup, so the chef's kitchen at Deerfoot Inn flows without interruption and every cook can work with ease, making a long Catskills dinner worth every course.
Ground coffee begins losing its aromatic oils within minutes of being ground. The bean-to-cup machine at Deerfoot Inn grinds fresh for every single cup, which means your first morning coffee in the Catskills tastes the way coffee is actually supposed to taste, a small ritual that sets the right tone for the whole day.
Two dishwashers means the chef's kitchen at Deerfoot Inn turns over completely after a long dinner without anyone waiting around.
