Summer in the Hudson Valley and Catskills will make you a joiner as Ulster, Greene, Columbia, Dutchess, and Orange counties offer up the experiences you never knew you needed – like perfecting your downward dog while llamas “judge” your form (fear not - they’re not really all that judgy), or letting goats lead your hiking expedition (heads up - they have questionable navigation skills). July and August bring an eclectic mix of adventures, from channeling your inner lumberjack at amateur axe throwing events to witnessing the first fully staged American production of Smetana's opera "Dalibor" at Bard College – because, for the right person, nothing says "summer fun" quite like a sung-through 19th-century Czech drama! Whether you're seeking barnyard

Let's embrace the chill of the Catskills and Hudson Valley this winter season with enthusiasm! Yes, January and February might have the chilliest temperatures of the year, temperatures that on occasion might make your phone shut down in protest, but that's ok! Why? Because the region offers up so many cozy doom-scroll alternatives that you could blithely drop that phone in the Hudson River and not miss it until March. While the rest of the world complains about winter, let’s put on our layers and puffy coats and treat the single-digit degree days as a communal challenge. Sure, you could stay home under a blanket, people do it – or you could join us for two months of concerts, walks, learning opportunities, and other events that will have you fighting

The most beautiful season in the Catskills and the mid-Hudson Valley is the autumn – we feel ok about making that pronouncement.

It’s sweater weather Upstate, here are our picks for the best place to wear your favorite this October 2024.

Autumn approaches! September is the in-between month in the Catskills and Hudson Valley regions. With school in session and August vacations in the rearview mirror there are less people about; peak leaf peeping time, we're told, will be firmly seated in October this year, so the traffic is just a bit lighter this month. What September is is the month for smaller local events that are 100% worth your time: attend a boutique festival, immerse yourself in a new skill (basket weaving anyone?), spend some much needed time in the woods foraging for 'shrooms. In September, the events of the Catskills and Hudson Valley are flavored with the region's rich culture, history and culinary traditions. Here are the recommendations for local events from our many

Welcome, fellow adventurers, culture connoisseurs, and accidental tourists who took a right turn while searching Upstate Real Estate on our website and ended up on our Hudson Valley and Catskills events blog! As we round out the end of February and catapult ourselves into March 2024 - the air is snow-filled, culture is happening, songs are being sung, artwork hung, sap is starting to flow, and we're finding our way through this season of not quite knowing how many layers we'll need with our Upstate NY fashion sense intact, on point even! (As real estate agents we know how to pick a pair of snow boots that will work in a casual dining situation!) If you're looking for something to do this weekend, great - you've stumbled upon the right spot! 

The Hudson Valley Cheese Shop Crawl

There are very few universal truths in this world. Water is wet, the sky is blue, and nobody dislikes cheese. Think about it. Is there anyone you know that actively dislikes cheese? We're not talking about people who say they can’t eat it because it gives them the tummy rumbles. Those people deserve our pity and compassion. We're talking about someone who says they don’t care for cheese in general. They admit this in public! They just wander around, missing out on the world’s favorite food group, telling people about how they don’t like the smell of it, or the texture or the obvious joy it brings to a person’s life. Also, they prefer cloudy days to sunny ones and their favorite color M&M’s are brown. It sounds

The Catskills and Hudson Valley Region have become somewhat synonymous with small business growth. As the region has grown in popularity as a place to live and work, telecommute from, or call a second home; entrepreneurs, artists, and craftspeople are finding new ways and new spaces to serve the communities we share. From cozy restaurants to chic boutiques, fresh businesses are adding colorful strokes to the canvases of our villages and towns. We're here for it! As The Local Experts in Upstate Real Estate we're excited to see storefronts full and to have shopping options that allow us to meet our neighbors. Sometimes we're privileged to have a small involvement in getting the businesses started by helping the same entrepreneurs find or build their
