    Drive up early and give yourself time to look. There are a ton of trees! Made sure you measure. We did not and had to cut off 3 feet. Any tree was $80

    I've been making a yearly pilgrimage to Four Winds every year for over fifty years, ever since my family moved to Saratoga in the seventies. Back in the day, our family would make it an event with a picnic lunch, lots of laughs and lots of fun. It's just me now (with my dogs). My parents passed a long time ago, and my siblings have moved to other parts of the country. I've been here in rain, snow, and drought. But each year is an experience I wouldn't trade for anything.

    This year, my boyfriend and I wanted to get a real tree. Be careful driving here because it is up a mountain and the road gets narrow and windy. Parts of the mountain are too narrow, where only one car would fit. Four Winds Ranch takes cash/ or check payments only. All trees were $70! Any size!! Also, the netting is free. Once you get to the ranch, someone will give you a saw and direct you where to go to park and how to cut down the tree. Once you park, you are free to roam around and look for the perfect tree! Once you cut down the tree, in the parking lot, there is a netting area. There is also a snack shack because it does take some time looking for that perfect tree. Overall, we had a good experience and thought that the pricing was fair.

    Many to choose from, super beautiful

    Great experience getting our tree today, very few Christmas tree locations that let you cut your own tree are open because of Covid so this is a gem! Couple of tips for those who have never been here: -Come early or late, trees are in high demand this year and anywhere open is warning people how crazy it's getting. -The road going up and down is very narrow, steep, with hairpin corners. Go up and down slowly and move over if you have room for others in the opposite lane. We drove our older 2003 4-cylinder today that is manual transmission and in a couple area had to go in 1st gear and was pretty crazy going up. -Trees are CASH only, don't come all the way up without the $65. Tamales are cash only and we didn't have enough to try them, they were 6 for $14. -There are two porta-potties on site near the parking lot. -You CAN bring your own chainsaw to make cutting easier and I also recommend a knife or scissors, the netting machine is on the right side of the parking lot and free and the knife or scissors will help with cutting the net. -If the tree iis going on your vehicle roof, load it with the base facing forward or the branches might snap off as you are driving on the freeway. If you are using ropes or straps to secure the tree go through your vehicle doors and not the windows.

    Tree we cut down

    We went here about a week ago to cut down a Christmas tree with our kids and friends. It was so much fun. There were many trees and the kids love going around hunting for the perfect tree. The staff are nice and helpful. Price was great. We saw some nice looking logs from the people cooking tamales and asked if we can take one to make Caga Tio (Catalan tradition) and they gave us one of their log. Highly recommend coming here

    This year, I decided to get a real Christmas tree and wanted to have the experience to going to a tree farm and picking out my own. After some light research, I ended up choosing to go to Four Winds. They opened up the day after Thanksgiving, though I visited that Saturday. The road up gets narrow, has some hairpin turns, and gets a bit windy - so be wary! Everyone driving up and down was friendly about making space though. Be sure to follow the signs up to Four Winds as there are other tree farms along the way. Once we arrived, someone greeted us and asked if we needed a saw. He also explained to us where to go and what to do, as it was our first time there. We drove up and parked, and there are several lots and spaces to park in. The ranch is huge! I definitely could've spend all day here trying to find the perfect tree. Luckily after browsing different areas, we found the tree for my space! There is a netting station for the trees, and someone was able to give us directions for that. At the main lot, there are snacks and drinks available to purchase, along with free hot chocolate and cider! Wreaths are available to purchase here too. There are also benches to sit, and we saw lots of people bring their own drinks and food to enjoy there. On the way down, where we met those who greeted us, we paid for our tree - cash or check, $70 any size. There was mistletoe available to purchase here. There was also someone selling tamales, salsa, and rice! There were chicken and pork tamales sold by half/full dozen, along with multiple sizes of the salsa and rice. We paid cash and made our way down! It was essentially a drive-through pay area, so it was super convenient. Really loved the experience here! I was glad to be able to bring my dog, as she loved roaming around. We had fun choosing and chopping our own tree. Also highly recommend picking up some tamales for a great meal (they were still warm and so good)!

    Our tree all dressed up

    Cut your own Christmas tree, family owned business, tons of trees in all varieties. Any tree for $65 (small or big ) when you first arrive you are greeted by their employees, they hand you a sanitized saw, no Christmas Vacation scenario here (lol) and off you go to hunt for your tree. Great place it was our first time a here. I came here with my family, my sisters fiance, my dog and we all had a great time cutting down our tree! The trees are not sectioned off by categories - instead they are all mixed together. We walked around the property before we found the tree we wanted, you can spend all day here. I recommend this place, it's worth the drive out for a great family experience. I'm not sure if I will be back next year. But overall I enjoyed my visit!

    Open on Thanksgiving day which was great as most places were closed. It was fun roaming around looking for a tree because it didn't feel like a perfectly farmed, grid layout. So we roamed around hunting for the perfect tree. Had a nice time and all trees were $65.

    This year we found the best tree we have ever had, we found it at Four Winds Ranch. Not the easiest place to get to but once you're there, it's gorgeous! We will be coming back, every year.

    This was my first year getting a tree here and I will 100% be back next year! The farm is beautiful, so many impressive trees to choose from. $65 for any tree and the saw was provided, free netting and twine and easy to Venmo if you don't have cash! I had so much fun just walking around this farm and picking my perfect tree!! I cannot recommend this place enough. Great experience.

    This one looks good

    Our family has been coming here for 30 years! We love everything about this place. Not only are the trees beautiful you can drive out with tamale lunch and all your fresh holiday decor. Looking forward to coming back this holiday!

    So many pretty trees!
    Angel A.

    I pretty much though all tree farms were the same. But after today I can say that this is our annual stop. There is a HUGE area to roam in with a variety of trees, and lots of parking in different areas so even though it's very popular it doesn't feel crowded. Choosing was so hard since we saw so many trees many we liked. We sawed our tree - TIMBER! - and hauled it to the main area to have it netted for free. We brought bungees but they had free twine which is nice. Families were picnicking at the many tables and enjoy goodies and tamales. Great holiday feel. Already I was impressed with Four Winds. But when it came time to pay - whoops! We had no cash and they don't take credit cards. We thought we'd have to unload the tree and drive into town to find an ATM. Nope! They handed us a business card and told us to mail a check. Unbelievable to find business people who value and trust their customers! The check is now sent, and I know where we'll be getting our tree next year and for years to come. The difference isn't the trees or the cider or even the tamales. It's the amazing service that makes this place special.

    Fifty dollars for a tree as tall as you want?! WOW. I thought this Christmas tree farm was too good to be true, but it isn't. This place is super. You get to roam the farm grounds looking high and low for the right tree, and you can really feel like you're a lumberjack in the wild woods with a hand saw in hand, ready to chop down a really big tree. Kids LOVE this place. Every kid I saw today was excited and happy to be treehunting. We didn't roam too far before finding a vibrant-colored Douglas Fir. And I loved how the different species of tree were all mixed together -- it made searching more interesting. The process was very easy, and checking out at the pay station exit was easy -- $50. Sure, Four Winds is higher up on Skyline than the other tree farms close to Highway 17 (we must have passed five or six farms on the way up), but the views from on high were *spectacular*, the trees and forest smelled fabulous, and the sky was beautiful. It's worth the wind up Gist to get to this farm! And it's worth the climb to pick your own tree on the mountaintop and cut it down for taking home. (I am sensitive to motion sickness but did not get it on the way up or down.) The day after Thanksgiving was moderately busy, I would say. There's no fee for parking. When we got there, the small lot was full, so we grabbed whatever spot was open. Dogs on leashes are welcome. Free drinks, too, although we did not partake in any. I would totally recommend this place to anyone looking to blend treehunting with spectacular vistas!

    Summerwinds is the absolute best place to buy a Christmas tree. They have beautiful Noble firs,…read moreFraser firs and Douglas firs at amazing prices. All the trees are kept in water so they stay fresh, and the staff will make a fresh cut, trim the lower branches, net the tree and tie it to your car. Much cheaper than a tree lot, and the place is decorated so it's still festive. We get our tree here every year, and before that at the Summerwinds in Campbell. I like to put my tree up Thanksgiving weekend and keep it up until after New Year's and our trees from here always last and last. This year we got a handsome 7-foot Douglas fir for $29.99. Christmas is in the air! I also come here for gardening supplies in the spring. Terrific service, friendly staff and good prices. Not quite as cheap as a garden center at a hardware store, but still very reasonable. The quality of the plants and the service is worth it.

I was looking for an indoor cute medium size plant that doesn't need much water but will still live. I know I know, I'm lazy but I want a plant to add life to my room. There is a whole section dedicated to indoor plants & flowers of all shapes, colors, & sizes. I had no idea what to get so I asked & 2 very nice ladies were able to help me out. Then I needed a pot & again they helped me pick one out that would fit my plant as it begins to grow. Fun day at the nursery & next time I need a plant or something I'm coming back here.
