It’s possible that as soon as you pass through the massive portals of Willows Lodge and enter into the timber-lined lobby with its stone two-sided fireplace, you’ll sigh with relief. The sense of calm and well-being is pervasive throughout Willows Lodge, which is located a mere 25 minutes from Seattle – and yet it seems like another country, one notable for its serenity.
The luxurious lodge encompasses five acres of landscaped gardens with gazebo, outdoor Jacuzzi, Asian zen garden, as well as Barking Frog, one of the Pacific Northwest’s most acclaimed restaurants, helmed by Chef Bobby Moore, with a sun-dappled pergola for dining al fresco during clement weather.

The whole of Woodinville turns out for Willows Lodge‘s signature competition, the Iron Vintner Challenge, where four Washington winemakers face off to create a winning entree and appetizer utilizing a secret ingredient that changes annually.
A member of the Preferred Hotel Group, Willows Lodge is listed on Condé Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure as one of the nation’s best hotels of 2012.
According to Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest, a barking frog is a sign of peace and harmony with nature. Willows Lodge is a testament to a heritage of natural bliss.
