As the days get shorter and the air gets crisper, the Catskill Mountains become a tapestry of Red, Orange, Yellow and Gold
Autumn is a special time in the Catskills, whether apple picking at a nearby orchard, running through a corn maze or pumpkin patch, or simply admiring the breath taking fall colors while on a hike to Kaaterskill Falls you will find a plethora of activities while here at Catskill Maison. Festivals, Foliage and Farmers Markets
Here in the Catskills we treat autumn as an “Experience” a celebration of harvest with festivals surrounded by the most picturesque landscape that you could ever imagine. From hay rides to horseback riding you are always surrounded by bright, bold color. The local farmers markets and farm stands in the area are fully stocked with all kinds of goodies; pumpkins, squashes, apples and donuts that make you reminiscent of when you were a child and bit into that juicy apple on those first few weeks of school, or carved that pumpkin in anticipation of Halloween. The festivals are never ending at this time of year, from the annual Microbrew and Wine festival and Oktoberfest in Hunter to Windham's Autumn A Fair you will never run out of things to do and see.

We received a request from a guest to put our recipes to paper…so we thought that we would start a tradition of sharing a recipe of the season on our newsletter.

1 Stick of Butter (melted)
1 Cup of sugar (white and brown mixed)
