Who we are

We're Genevieve and Derek, longtime lovers of upstate New York. We have been exploring the Catskills for over 15 years.

What started as weekend escapes from city life evolved into a much deeper love, leading us to purchase a second home in the region. Now we get to share this magical place with our children, watching them discover the same trails, swimming holes, and mountain views that first captured our hearts years ago.

The creativity and natural beauty of this area continues to inspire us daily—from the innovative chefs transforming local ingredients into extraordinary meals, to the artists and makers who call these mountains home.

Through The Upstate Edit, we're excited to share the discoveries and experiences that have become part of our family's story.
