Burnt Knob Mountain Escape

About this property

Burnt Knob Mountain Escape sits on a mountain property in South Durham, New York, with a private ground floor apartment. Guests raise the views most often, describing wide mountain and valley scenes, sunrises from the windows, and clear night skies for stargazing. The setting includes a meadow and pond that several guests walked around during their stay.

Host warmth and responsiveness come up almost as often. Guests describe quick replies to questions, thoughtful touches like bath salts or garden vegetables, and a host who respects privacy while staying easy to reach. The host's dog appears in many reviews as a friendly presence guests looked forward to seeing.

The hot tub is one of the most named features, used by guests after skiing, hiking, or simply to watch the sunset over the mountains. Inside, the bathroom draws its own following: several guests call out the soaking tub and describe the bathroom as spa-like, with candles and salts adding to the effect.

Guests repeatedly note how clean and well kept the apartment is, along with a kitchen stocked enough to cook full meals without leaving. A few mention hearing footsteps from the floor above, consistent with the shared building layout, but most describe the space as quiet and private for a couples getaway.

Outside, a fire pit and grill see steady use, and the property's trails and nearby ski areas come up as a bonus for guests exploring the wider Catskills region.
