The Knotty Oak 

5.0

Philo, CA
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $15,000

The oldest house in Philo (1888), it was Anderson Valley’s first post office and stagecoach stop that decades later was the Philo Pottery Inn. During the painstaking restoration we did using nearly all salvaged materials, its secrets and history began to resurface. We were constantly discovering little finds, over 200 1880's old glass bottles buried on the grounds to the headline clad 1915 newspaper lined walls in the main house. It’s been part remodel and archeological dig. Now it’s ready to host events & make fresh memories for decades to come. A few years ago we were lucky enough to add 20+ acres of open meadow lands & forest contiguous to TKO for events & glamping and built an amphitheater by Indian Creek in the woods. We can host up to 100 and have have 12 bedrooms in three fab houses, plus glamping tents. There are so many ways to utilize the property and also vintage trailers and wacky Japanese cars to get creative with. Come see for yourself and be part of its evolving history.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Rustic-chic setting
  • Both indoor and outdoor options
  • Multiple event spaces

My wife and I got married at this absolutely magical venue in July of 2024. We did a three day event, stayed on the property with friends and family, and got hitched in the magical forest Amphitheatre the owner built out with her own blood, sweat and tears. We can’t say enough good things about this special place. Jealous of those of you who get married here in the future! 12/10 would recommend!

The choice of WhisperTree as our wedding venue was the absolute best decision we made in planning our sacred ceremony. We could not have asked for a more ineffably perfect setting—the gorgeous land, the incredible staff, and the rustic chic decor created the perfect atmosphere for the conscious California retreat wedding of our dreams. The land and property is absolutely gorgeous. You have access to a beautiful historic mansion with a beautiful backyard and hot tub, a rustic-yet-upscale barn with glimmering string lights, a charming riverside cottage, a gorgeous yurt where we hosted a soundbath and yoga, absolutely stunning glamping tents, and breathtaking trails. The entire weekend, all our guests kept noting how beautiful the property is, and how carefully and thoughtfully maintained. You can tell love and intention was put into every single piece of furniture, and there are incredible amenities, including rain boots, umbrellas, blankets for chilly nights, and so much more. We felt help, taken care of, and very grateful for the opportunity to host our unforgettable event here. The staff is top notch, and always available to assist you with any needs you may have. Everything is perfectly organized, so it made wedding planning as breezy as possible. We also worked with local farmers to source our food, wine, and flowers, and we could not have asked for better options. Many of our friends expressed that they hoped to get married at WhisperTree too, or to host a retreat, because it truly is the most unforgettable property in Northern California. We cannot recommend it more highly!

We felt extra, extra grateful to have had the opportunity to stay onsite for our wedding and enjoyed the beautiful accommodations, kitchen, and access to our wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
When my soon-to-be husband had a table saw accident just days before our wedding, we didn’t know if we’d make it out of the hospital in time to celebrate, let alone how everything was going to come together. We need not have worried. Natalie and the folks at Kimwood Ranch took SUCH good care of us! From the moment we stepped onto the Ranch, we felt like family. Seriously, they helped turn one of the most overwhelming weeks in our lives, into the very best. From all the tiny details, to the big stuff, Natalie was on the ball. She was great with communication and she guided us throughout our planning process. When it came to the wedding, she understood our vision and made sure EVERYTHING was taken care of. And did I mention how beautiful the ranch is?!? Just being there made us and our guests so happy. It’s peaceful. It’s private. You feel like you're in your own little world. Our wedding couldn't have been more perfect! Thank you Kimwood Ranch!
