The Hudson River Valley is world renowned for it's beauty. Often compared to the European Rhine Valley, the Hudson Valley offers something for everyone. The Catskill region of the Hudson Valley abounds with a pristine beauty and an enchantment that's drawn craftsman and artists alike to the region. Ulster County is in the heart of the Catskills and the Town of Olive and it' s surrounding areas are a tonic for the soul and nourishment for the spirit. The byways and country roads abound with adventure and mystery. The area resonates with the history of the many Indian Tribes that once populated the area. The region is now home to many artisans whose work is enjoyed throughout the world.

The area has the air of small town America that people yearn for. Friendly, neighborly and hospitable. Traveling through the area is a step back through time. A step back before crowded malls, snarling traffic and the hectic day to day pace that many are forced to endure. Those of us who live in the area are forever grateful for what we have. The majesty of the mountains, the crisp pine scented air act as an elixir of renewal. A trip through the area serves to put one back in touch with the beauty that life and mother nature's bounty offers."
