We recently stopped into Willows Lodge and Fireside Lounge for a cozy cocktail by the fireplace, and could not resist sharing their gorgeous holiday decorations with you! We also couldn’t wait to share their December promotional stay, in case you are planning a holiday staycation. Willows would make the perfect destination! The first thing that I noticed about this gorgeous ...
I was so impressed with the food and service at Woodinville’s Barking Frog Restaurant when Carrie and I ate there, that I went back the following week with my fiance, James.

We were so excited to have been able to stay at Willows Lodge to help promote their All the Fall Feels promotion package.

We’d just finished enjoying a nice lunch over at the Hollywood Tavern and were on our way to a wine tasting appointment in Woodinville’s Hollywood District, when I remembered that Jen hadn’t been to Willows Lodge’s gardens in quite a while. I pulled over quickly so we could go exploring. We’re careful, I assure you, to not disturb any hotel guests ...
When I told my two teenage daughters, Claire and Natalie, that Carrie and I needed them to join us on a winery tour so that they could help us wrangle photography equipment, they were surprisingly thrilled!

Back at home, after unloading the car, feeding the dogs, cleaning the kitchen and taking a ...
Last week, near the end of Seattle’s summer, we were curious to see what the gardens at Willows Lodge looked like. We last toured them in early summer. Surely there are flowers in bloom now that we hadn’t seen back in June! We love this “Welcome to our Happy Place” stone sign! (I am confident speaking for both me and ...
Our Woodinville Wine Blog trio convened for lunch on a beautiful and warm spring day at Willows Lodge’s Barking Frog restaurant.
