The Estate Villa

This place will take you to a luxurious getaway. Nothing bad to say. Only all positives. You just have to splurge and experience it yourself to understand the magic!

The entire experience with the New Tree Ranch was a bliss. We have stayed at so many rentals overall, and in particularly in Sonoma area, but none is even close to Ed's property. Attention to details is incredible; the level of hospitality is about any expectations. I wish we could have stayed much longer in this peaceful oasis. But we'll certainly be back!! Thank you again, Ed!

The property, home and experiences were perfect for our family vacation.

This house was incredibly cozy, modern and convenient! I love how every piece and corner was thoughtfully designed highlighting comfort and luxury inspired by nature. The hosts were beyond exceptional in making sure we had a great stay! We enjoyed the seasonal crops fresh from their garden and we had fun making our meals in its chef's kitchen complete with all the top-notch appliances, tools and a full stock pantry! The ranch location near downtown Healdsburg is a plus too! Spending time with the animals and enjoying the ranch facilities like paddle boarding in the lake, fruit picking, tree planting & hands-on learning about bio-dynamic farming & the walking trails were some of the highlights of our stay. But the stay in the house alone watching the green outdoors was truly relaxing! I will never forget the time I stopped by to watch the birds circling above the trees, suddenly a loud sound of the wind started to blow from the horizon, I watched the trees sway as the wind approached and passed through me and I took a long deep breath. It felt like I bathed in the scent of pine trees and fresh cool breeze! I immediately felt rejuvenated and inspired! It is nature's magical paradise in Sonoma, California. I didn't expect my stay to be truly life-changing! I hope everyone can see it for themselves! If you wish to experience an invigorating holiday in Sonoma with all the comfort and ease, then this ranch estate at NewTree Ranch is the best place to go!

My family and some friends headed here for a bday weekend and we were not disappointed. The ranch and the peacefulness it exudes can not be put into words. David was an exceptional and responsive host. We loved collecting farm fresh eggs each morning and the bounty of seasonal fresh vegetables from the garden. The property was so cozy that we canceled our dinner reservations and wine tastings to stay and enjoy everything it has to offer. By the way, the kitchen was amazing, any chef would appreciate the high end appliances, pots and pans and flow. Thanks for an incredible experience! We are already thinking about when we can come back and visit with Lambchop, Eddie and Cathy. (farm animals) :)

This was our 2nd stay at New Tree Ranch and I cannot say enough about how much of a relaxing and wonderful time we had communing with nature. The Ranch House fit our family perfectly and we loved walking out our front door to the gorgeous vista framed by the doorway. The accommodations were luxurious and we literally needed to bring NOTHING, as everything was provided – from toiletries to bedding. Who needs a television when you can just sit on the comfortable outdoor sofa and watch nature all day! (There is a television…but we didn’t turn it on). The kitchen and pantry was well-stocked with coffees, teas, cashew milk, herbs, spices, whole grains, and a fridge-full of fresh veggies from the garden. One of our favorite experiences was when our 7-year-old helped Ed and David pick beets, and then we cooked them up for dinner. If we wanted to work out, a well-equipped gym was at our disposal. After a day in nature, the beds were a dream to sleep on. There are numerous wineries within a short drive away and the adorable town of Healdsburg has some amazing restaurants. With that said, we live in Chicago, so it was a treat for us to just stay on the farm for most of the time, enjoy our times in the garden, go for hikes, hang out with the animals, and meditate by Lake Andreas. And just sit with our books and listen to the beautiful wind chimes in the breeze. We were only there for a few days, but it truly felt like we had left our hectic lifestyle for two weeks and were able to return to our lives refreshed, replenished, and re-energized. I know now that New Tree will need to be a yearly stop for our family so we can reconnect with each other and ourselves and take what we have learned from this beautiful biodynamic farm and lead more purposeful and meaningful lives.

What an absolutely amazing property! My family LOVED it and we will definitely be going back. It’s evident that every detail (from the photo-worthy stocked pantry to the fresh picked flowers) has been lovingly thought through and beautifully executed to ensure a comfortable and peaceful stay. My husband, son and I spent our days going for hikes on the property, hanging out with the animals (my son’s favorite part), visiting the farm and just enjoying the beauty of the place. The location can’t be beat. It’s a quick 7 minute drive to downtown Healdsburg, an hour and a half from SFO and a world away from day-to-day stress.

My group and I stayed in mid February for a birthday celebration, and everyone left New Tree Ranch feeling more connected: to each other, to the earth, to themselves. It was an incredibly restorative, inspiring, and relaxing weekend. We were greeted by David, who is the farm manager. He was incredibly generous, hospitable, and an inspirational, centered person to talk to. It was a treat to get to know the beautiful story of how he found his way to the ranch. His nut milk is a must try; we were all begging for more. And, the canned goods fermented directly from the farm were such an incredible accompaniment to our meals. We all left basking in his glow! The description, Forbes article and pictures don’t do the experience justice. It’s priced the way it is for a good reason; think a Ventana-like experience but personalized and private. So, here’s what I wish I knew: - Food. You don’t need to worry about menu planning. There is intensely fresh and delicious produce from the farm that you can create the most beautiful menu, whether it’s a salad or sauté or roast. There is a big John’s market nearby, where you can pick up some delicious proteins, if you wish to cook at home. It’s a 10 minute drive door to door. No need to stop by Costco or bring your own ingredients. - House. There is a full size sofa bed in the attached yes sweet. Everything in the house is room and board, so you know it will be comfortable, and high-quality. The entire house has state of the art technology: from an Apple TV with fast internet, to a full indoor, and outdoor, Bose surround sound system - Cooking. The kitchen has two dishwashers, three sinks, two ovens, and an indoor grill. There’s even a charcoal grill provided upon request. There is a fully stocked pantry of dried goods, like rice, popcorn, and legumes. There are plenty of fresh garden herbs, spices, and cooking oils. - Activities. Most of the activities advertised on the website are self guided, like farm animal therapy, or forest walks. The only guided activities we had were yoga, a farm tour with David, and an incredibly restorative sound bath, all of which were included in the price of the stay. Working with David was easy to adjust times. There’s no stress making activities. You can freely walk the farm, interact with animals, pick produce. - Amenities. There is an outdoor Glamping tent, and there is no longer a hot tub. It had been replaced bt two soaking tubs. There’s a gym and pool

Staying at this property is magical. Ed and his team could not be more attentive in ensuring that your stay meets your expectations and more. Whether wandering the property, enjoying the amazing cuisine, or just chilling with friends and family, you will feel renewed. A highly recommended experience, particularly in these challenging times when one is looking for an escape.

Our family just spent a week at New Tree Ranch and had the most wonderful time! The setting is beautiful, the house luxurious and comfortable. Both gardens were beautiful and we enjoyed eating from them every day. We took the plant based cooking class, enjoyed pizza night and Wim Hof class - great memories every one! It is a peaceful and relaxing place to be. And oh, did I mention the glorious starry night sky and the adorable animals? You will love this place.
