This is truly an experience! My husband and I stayed here at The Willows for his 75th birthday! It was as if we were in paradise. The rooms were period perfect for 1928 yet very up to date. It was surprisingly peaceful and serene. There are very few rooms so the privacy is huge and the noise is almost non existent. The sounds of birds chirping and trickling water is very common on the grounds. It was as if we were a guest at someone's luxury mansion. There is private and safe parking and the staff are very kind and accommodating. The 3-course complimentary breakfast was served in a beautiful dining area with the view of a stunning rock wall will a waterfall. The food was fantastic. There is also a complimentary wine and appetizer hour that is sensational! We will definitely be back again to this hidden gem! We loved it!!!!
