Autumn / Fall

Autumn / Fall is a great time in this area - so much to see & do; just one example - you can enjoy the magnificient fall colours & studio tours without the maddening crowds found elsewhere while taking advantage of the much lower fall rates & discounts.
To be added next - ATV (4 wheeler) tours and Horseback riding.
