The Ranch Hudson Valley

Incredible week at The Ranch! The grounds and accommodations were breathtaking, the rooms were spacious and thoughtfully designed/clean. The staff were incredibly accommodating and genuinely kind, which took the overall experience to the next level. The food was delicious, the hikes were amazing, the extra activities were fun.... I really honestly have no notes! An incredible experience that I would 10/10 recommend to anyone, at any fitness level, they are accommodating to any age!

I had the best stay at The Ranch Hudson Valley! The guides and entire team were absolutely amazing. Everything exceeded my expectations—from the delicious food, to the thoughtfully planned activities, to the beautiful accommodations. I’ve never come back from a trip feeling so refreshed, but this experience truly left me feeling incredible. I’m so happy I decided to book my stay and I can’t wait to return again soon. Huge thank you to the amazing Ranch team!

The Ranch was truly transformative. I arrived greatly in need of a serious reset and received that beyond any expectations—I departed feeling happily exhausted, deeply restored and very well cared for. The mental and physical effects have stuck with me even a week out! The property is gorgeous. The staff is incredibly positive and supportive and authentically enthusiastic about providing the best possible guest experience. Days are filled with long hikes, fitness classes, massages, yoga, and more. There is a communal aspect to your stay, given the small group sizes, and getting to know the other guests was a pleasant surprise. All you have to do is show up!

There are really no appropriate words to describe how special The Ranch Hudson Valley is. From the moment you walk in the door, it feels like home and suddenly you are completely taken care of for the duration of the program. Between the staff, the beautiful and cozy accommodations, the inspiration to hike, rest and rejuvenate, the delicious cleansing food, the wide array of healthful classes and of course, the massages, pool and sauna -the experience is a reset, and profoundly grounding. I left with an open heart and excitement for life. I wanted to give a shout out to Melissa Newman and Gina McAlpin, both of whom were so integral to my transformative experience. Thank you ALL! Cannot wait to return…

I honestly did not know what to expect going into my stay at Hudson Valley ranch; it turned out to be one of the best experiences! The staff was exceptionally welcoming and friendly, making me feel right at home. The historic mansion was absolutely stunning, the perfect setting for a relaxing retreat.

Mornings were filled with breathtaking hikes, and though the fitness classes (yoga, weight training, cycling) were all optional, I was eager to join all of them. With plenty of downtime, it was the perfect balance of activity and relaxation.

As much as I heard great things about the cold plunge pool, I just could not bring myself to take the plunge. I am not a fan of the cold! But seeing everyone else enjoy it was fun.

Now about the food. I was nervous about the vegan options, but I was pleasantly surprised. The meals were delicious, satisfying and full of flavor. I never felt hungry.

If you are looking to truly decompress, relax, and get away from it all, this is the place. The daily massages were an absolute highlight. I also loved the sauna, it was just beautiful and soothing.

Overall, The Hudson Valley Ranch exceeded my expectations in every way. I would highly recommend it for anyone in need of a peaceful rejuvenating retreat.
