What a blessing to have had the opportunity to experience the modern day utopia you are creating! NewTree Ranch is truly a paradise on earth. The peaceful atmosphere allowed for relaxation of mind & body beyond compare, and along with Maggie’s Yin Yoga classes, I feel like a new person. I could easily become vegan if Matteo was cooking all of my meals – they were delicious and so beautifully presented. All in all, we enjoyed 2 weeks that we will treasure. Many good wishes to you both as you continue making your utopia dream come true! Thank you so much!

Ed, David, Matteo and Team,

You have created a little bit of heaven on earth. The first impression is one of peace and beauty, and that impression becomes reality as we rest in this place. We have an increased appreciation for the produce of the earth, and Matteo taught us new ways to enjoy those. We loved our brunch, cooking class and dinner at the farm; yin yoga with Maggie was a total destressor (if we had any stress remaining). Thank you for also welcoming our elderly pets – Romeo and Chloe enjoyed their experience, too.

All our best wishes as you continue to build your dream.

In the current environment, due to COVID-19, we weren’t sure if a family vacation was even possible this summer. We were fortunate enough to discover NewTree, and not only had a real vacation, but had the best one our family has ever had. Ed and David are ahead of the curve, creating a curated experience that literally has something for everyone. Every minute and every detail was perfection – the house, the pool, the amazing food (it was all vegan, which was a change for us – and every meal was delicious). Ed and David have created an experience where they somehow manage to provide the ultimate escape with privacy and at the same time make you feel like you are family. They could not have been more welcoming and kind to us, our two young boys and our two dogs. The chance to ride horses, collect fresh eggs and vegetables, paddle board in a beautiful lake and swim in the pool was priceless. Our boys loved walking outside and visiting the animals – it is one of the most peaceful experiences we have had. We will never forget this trip, and we can’t wait to go back. If you are wondering if NewTree Ranch is worth it, the answer is yes. It will exceed your expectations by a mile.

NewTree Ranch was the most incredible place I ever stayed at. The people there were so kind and offered anything we wanted. From fresh vegetables in the fridge every time we needed them, to delicious meals. Everything you need was provided. The ranch is so beautiful and very comfortable. We loved the pool, the fireplace and interacting with the animals. It felt warm and peaceful. . It also was very safe, clean and sanitized. all over. The food seriously was heavenly and delicious. The ranch was peaceful, in tune with nature and health. The kindness of the owner and everyone there was radiating in every aspect they offered us. The ranch is perfect but the people there are even more than nice they were kind and we could tell they wanted us to have an amazing stay. I miss it so much and will definitely return.

Our Midwestern family of four (2 adults, 1 toddler, and 1 pre-teen) were looking for an experience that differed from our urban Chicago lifestyle and we found one at NewTree Ranch! The drive from San Francisco was easily navigated, stunning and upon arrival to NewTree Ranch, the calmness, comfort and simple elegance we were searching for was immediate. The hosts were so incredibly welcoming, the ranch itself has all the comforts you could ever want (even a crib for our toddler), and the grounds were amazing. Our children were able to interact with the animals, collect eggs in the morning, go on hikes, and truly commune with nature. My husband and I had some quiet moments drinking coffee or wine overlooking the gorgeous vista, and the outdoor fire pit was magical at nighttime. We HIGHLY recommend NewTree Ranch for couples, families, or just anyone wanting to experience Northern California in a cleansing and calming way.

We were a family of 6 plus a 11 month old cerebrating a 30th bday. This was such a great choice. So much to do and see leading in first with an immaculate property, much attention to details, the finest of everything and wonderful host. We loved the fridge filled with fresh produce from the ranch along with fresh daily eggs. The lighting, bedding, Sonos, several fireplaces and firepits, fresh flowers throughout the house, decor, anything you might want… It was all available! Besides the solar heated pool, there’s a lake you can swim, canoe and paddle board in. Also, there’s a Yurt (glamping) with a fireplace on property with a hot tub to experience something that is really special. Meeting the goats and cattle along with the chickens and adorable Dick the dog was a treat. We were so impressed with the plant based dinner they provided. The gardens you dine in are beautiful, the food delicious and experience memorable! You are only 15 minutes from Healdsburg if you want to eat out or explore. There are several wineries nearby as well. This is a fabulous property. Healdsburg in general has cell phone connection issues… Make sure you have the gate code and accurate directions from homeowner before you head out to property as you may not have cell coverage approaching that area until you are on premises.

The short version, you will not be sorry. Book and enjoy – everything! OK, the longer version. We booked very last minute as our prior plans fell through. Ed was so responsive and quickly got everything sorted fort the next day! Because we provided very little time, Ed outlined that the majority of staff wouldn’t be available as they were off. Not at all a problem for us as we wanted a pretty low profile stay. As you head through the quiet streets you are transported to another world. Heading up the driveway you are met with the large house on the left, a barn and chickens on the right. Kids already excited. You enter the house which is expansive and thoughtfully decorated. The owners have been very thoughtful about creating experiences throughout the house, from the piano playing to the various teas left for you to drink. We settle in and the next day we head to their farm area where they have so many types of plants growing, each with a story of their own. The owners took the time to explain how they planted each one, why they did it and what their vision of the property was. We head back to the main house area and for the next few days, the kids were in and out of the pool, by the patio with the fire on, checking in on the chickens or heading to the private lake for a canoe ride. We were so relaxed that we asked to extend another day and not head back to work 🙂 Again the owners accommodated immediately. This is a place for those who want to get away from it all, enjoy the peace and quiet of nature but still have all the mod cons you would want. It was certainly hard to leave and head back home. Thank you for an AMAZING stay that I would recommend to anyone wanting to relax, reconnect and enjoy life.

They put on a cooking class for us, and I would normally never dream of doing something like that. But it was fantastic, easy/no pressure and what we cooked actually tasted fantastic. I truly enjoyed it. Makes me feel I might even cook at home some day (if I can find the kitchen)!

When the world is closing in on you, and you feel it spinning out of control, it is time to head to NewTree Ranch!! What an amazingly beautiful location with so much to learn. From the luxurious residence, the fun of the lake and the deliciousness of the edible farm. You leave refreshed and with a new outlook on how to make sure we are doing the best for ourselves and our planet.

I came to NewTree Ranch in search of a higher connection to nature and myself. Two years into farming here, I realized it wasn’t just a higher connection I needed, but also a way to slow down and understand my surroundings. As I was taking care of the plants in the garden, I realized I was also taking care of myself. One day, I was holding a flower in the palm of my hand accompanied by a bee. Feeling the vibration and gentleness of the bee, I felt no worry of being stung. Instead I felt a part of this symbiotic relationship. And for the first time, I felt I was working with nature and the symmetry between the plant, the bee and myself. This is when time stopped and I was able to start living together in harmony with nature and my family at New Tree Ranch.
