In the heart of downtown Woodinville there is a wonderful gem tucked away between the winerys and farms called Willows Lodge. My husband and I recently sent our son off to his grandparent's house and stayed at Willows Lodge for a little weekend escape. Once we arrived at the property we were pleased with the calming decor, inviting color palette and impeccable service. Growing up on the Eastside I regularly visited Woodinville, but after moving to Seattle I have not spent much time in Woodinville. In the past, I have never considered vacating the city for a night to relax, recharge and reconnect with my husband on the Eastside. However, now that I have experienced it I not only see the benefits, but am eagerly planning our next weekend getaway.

Everything about Willows Lodge is swoon worthy. From the beautifully appointed lobby with a two story fireplace, to the meticulously maintained landscaping and the plentiful herb garden. The property offers free bike rental and has easy accessibility to the Burke Gilman trail and downtown Woodinville is within walking distance from Willows Lodge. There are not only one, but three dining options on the property. The world renowned Herb Farm, Barking Frog and Fireside at Willows Lodge.

Just one of the many options for places to sit on the property and enjoy a late night drink or bite to eat outdoors.

Having just recently started a garden of my own at our new house I was eager to browse their raised beds and see what was thriving in their garden.

The Herbfarm offers a nine course dinner paired with five or six matched wines. (they also offer non alcoholic options)

Our spacious room featured a king bed, large jacuzzi tub, and a charming little outdoor deck to enjoy room service or a great little spot to read a book.

The weekend we stayed at Willows Lodge coincided with one of the hottest days we have experienced all year long. We made certain to take full advantage of our proximity to the mountains and enjoyed an afternoon of hiking before going to pick up our son. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Willows Lodge and found ourselves relaxed and rejuvenated for the week ahead.
