Keep Walking to 'Scotchtober' at Willows Lodge
We hear the word "Rocktober," and we're instantly transported back to our Philly youth, when the 93.3 WMMR radio DJ's would belt it out with a reverb echo effect every chance they got. It kinda sucked, because October was (and still is) our favorite month, and the cheese factor...

MTM Luxury Hotels Want Your Baby Bump To Look Good
Okay, so we thought we knew all clever marketing campaigns aimed at sperminated or wannabe sperminated women were a thing of the past. In this economy, hotels are just grateful you've decided to stay with them at all, let alone choose the place for a conceptionmoon or babymoon and...

Bad experience
Unless you plan on being part of the loud group of drunken idiots who goes tubbing at 2am then immediately demand a new room if you're placed anywhere near the jacuzzi. Why it isn't locked afterhours is simply inexplicable. Guests should not have to deal with that kind of nonsense at $300/night. ** Update ** A representative of the hotel contacted me via email shortly after our stay. The representative was most apologetic and assured me that our first experience was an aberration. I accepted his offer to give Willows Lodge another shot and I will update this review again once my wife and I have had a chance to return. In the meantime, I'll bump the review by a star to reflect the effort on their part to make amends.

Romantic charm in the heart of Woodinville Wine Country! The Willows Lodge exemplifies a luxury appeal to couples seeking out a place for sanctuary and above all else, Love. The intimate rooms are well appointed with fireplaces, LCD TVs, Patios/Decks, a soaking tub with separate walk in shower, and French Press maker. Every detail has been thought of as you begin your enchanting stay. From creative cuisine that can only invigorate your palate, to an extensive seductive wine and dessert list, love is purely in the air.

Whatever your heart's desire while at the Willows Lodge, make the time significant. From the simplicity of lying in bed watching a romantic comedy, to dining in the comfortable Fireside Lounge, my visits to The Willows Lodge have always been remarkable. February is 1 month out of 12 that we may celebrate love. My advice, escape to The Willows Lodge and indulge!

LOVED IT
My husband and I stayed at Willows Lodge for our anniversary and had a wonderful, romantic time! Beautiful, stylish and cozy rooms -similar decor to Sun Mountain lodge which we love. The most comfortable and luxe bed ever and adorable fireside lounge downstairs with great food from the barking frog. Overall, cozy and romantic!
Garden view is great
We stayed in the largest room for a special birthday celebration. They gave us complimentary wine tasting for my honey's birthday. The dinner was too expensive for what they offered, but was otherwise good. The room is huge, nice seperate shower and bath/soaking tub. Very romantic with the fireplace in the room. I hope to go back again.
Worst. Hotel. Ever.
This was the worst hotel experience I have had in my life. On the plus side, the hotel is very attractive and we enjoyed the food. The hotel booked us in a room next to the banquet facility where a wedding was taking place - our room was surrounded by wedding guests. The hotel was unable or unwilling to move us to a room where we could have peace and quiet. If you go here, you must insist that you not be in any of the ground floor rooms next to the banquet facilities if you want to get any sleep. The hotel should only be using these rooms for banquet guests - it should not offer them to any other guests unless they aren't using the banquet rooms. Overall, it is way too expensive for the shabby treatment we received.
Elegance and extravagance
I received a gift certificate for a one night stay at willow's lodge with dinner for 2 at the barking frog (onsite restaurant). I felt like...
Beautiful lodge with a great little spa!
I have never stayed at the lodge but have toured it when it was a possible wedding site for us. Very warm and cozy. I love the sheltered out...
A relaxing getaway only minutes from Seattle!
We LOVE this place. It's less than 30 mins from Seattle, but it feels like you are worlds away. The rooms are beautifully designed, the outdoor hot pool in an asian garden setting is like heaven on earth, and you can even order room service from the Barking Frog. Perfect for a weekend getaway without the hassle of a long drive/flight. PS Don't forget to check out the pigs they have in their garden which is owned by the Herbfarm!!!
Not 100%
The Lodge is lovely, rooms beautiful. The tub IS right in the room, with only a glass wall separating it from sleeping area. Cool high tech shower- just punch in the temperature you want! King size bed, but a too soft, sagging mattress. No top sheet- just a comforter with (washable) duvet. So during the summer it's be too warm or sleep uncovered. The lighting requires an instruction manual to operate- takes a day or two to get the hang of it. There were problems with our reservation- I booked online and ended up with a spa package on a day the spa was closed- and they had trouble finding my reservation- but it worked out.
A romantic treasure, cool hi-tech rooms
Impressive from the moment you pull in the parking lot until you leave. Had a snotty reception person but was probably an exception. The rooms are big and have every technical gadget you can dream of, have never been in a more enjoyable room. Check out DVDs or music from front desk or a Network card for your laptop and you're on the high speed internet connection. Plan to explore the grounds with your sweetie. Woke up to a robin's song echoing in the courtyard against the blue morning sky, was wonderful. Location is peaceful, quiet and beautiful. Go on a sunny day (July) and see a concert at the winery, a romantic slam dunk! Can't wait to go again!
Quality everywhere, but . . .
My wife and I stayed here a couple of Saturdays ago. We were impressed with the high quality of everything from the flooring to the furniture to the complimentary breakfast which included smoked salmon and Plugras butter. Pleasant grounds and friendly service. On the downside, the bathroom arrangements are bizarre; the bathroom is essentially a part of the bedroom - everything is quite open. And for those who are particular about pillows, these are the worst I've ever encountered: absolutely huge, uncomfortable, and, oddly, radiating heat. All in all, though, worth the money provided one doesn't pay the rack rate.
Outstanding
We did a overnight getaway (live in Kirkland) and had such a relaxing time. A+ service. Staff was very friendly, food was excellent, room was very nice with bottled water, great teas, bath products and more! Please we rented bikes and they packed us a lunch for our picnic. Just wish I had more time there! Only thing they could have done better was pack lunch with alittle more care, other than that, I was very impressed!
Recommended
The lodge itself is beautifully built, the food nearby is excellent and its just a short walk to the lovely grounds of Chateau St Michelle.
Luxury close to home
A romantic get away close to home, my husband and I celebrated our first anniversary at the Willows Lodge on July 28th where we were pampered in a beautiful setting. The service was wonderful, the room exceptionally clean. From the gas fireplace and huge soaking tub to the newspaper outside our door in the morning, our room had all the little details that make it memorable. We purchased the Do Not Disturb package, which added to our special visit. We will definitely be coming back to the Willows Lodge soon.
Very relaxing
I stayed in a room at Willows one night and enjoyed it immensely. The linens were wonderful, the bath was luxurious---oversized and deep. I truly enjoyed my stay.
