Thanks a million and a half to the incredibly kind and talented Emma Kruch for dropping our name in this awesome article in @ediblemarinwc

No one takes better photos than Emma. Literally every time a gorgeous hotel or restaurant or cocktail photo pops up on my feed, it’s always her! ❤️‍🔥🙏📸

This is Living. In what was the first post office in Philo, our Homestead living room is filled with salvaged materials and curiosities we’ve collected. And a couple hundred turn of the century bottles we found on the property. Come on over! taken in The Knotty Oak by @theknottyoak

We hosted the monthly Anderson Valley Winegrowers Association social on Monday night. 🥳 It was wonderful to have so many talented winemakers and hospitality staff over. There is such a great community here. The weather was crazy perfect and there were so many fantastic wines and great food to share.

We brought out our shiny balls…!

Thanks everyone for making it a smashing event!

The Knotty Oak is all about community.

Step into Philo’s history at the oldest house in town, where community is at the heart of everything we do. The Knotty Oak isn’t just a venue—it’s a place to cook together, hang out, and connect with friends old and new.

Groups love renting it to share meals, swap stories, and enjoy the warmth of this unique space. Whether you’re planning a casual gathering or a cozy celebration, The Knotty Oak is all about bringing people together. And the kitchens are purposefully built to be a great fit for wine dinners, chef demos, classes…!

Come for the history, stay for the community. ❤️

The insanely talented @emmakcreative captured so many of the good vibes. We love seeing everything through her magical eyes. We have many more gorgeous photos to share!

I don’t know if I’ve ever had more fun documenting a property before. A year ago my amazingly talented friend @zeeble invited me to stay at her museum of curiosities and artifacts doubling as an AirBnb, @theknottyoak — located in a charming Mendocino County town called Philo, whose population hovers just above 300.

The Knotty Oak is a 3-house property ideal for retreats and weddings, but most of what you’ll see in these slides is the the main house, where we stayed. Built in 1888, the home is a piece of history in itself, as the property was once Anderson Valley’s first post office and a stagecoach stop. Relics found throughout its long renovation can be seen creatively displayed throughout the buildings, expertly curated amongst hundreds of Mary’s salvage yard and antique finds. Only recently did I realize that I never did a proper post to my feed about this extraordinarily special project, so better late than never! taken in Philo, California by @theknottyoak
