The Willows

In late November, as a special treat for my 10 year old granddaughter, we spent the night in the Madden Room. As a person with severe back problems, I can guarantee the outstanding comfort of the bed. My granddaughter loved the old brass bath tub, and we both loved the individual soufflés we were served for breakfast.

My husband and I recently returned from a three night stay at The Willows during our first trip to Oregon, and we couldn't have been more impressed by the welcome that met us, the friends we found in Sandy and Joe, and the happiness we experienced during our entire stay. From the gorgeous room to the gourmet breakfasts, they exceeded everything I had imagined of the stay. We felt as though we were visiting old friends, who graciously offered dozens of sites to visit complete with hand drawn maps, engaging conversation, constant generosity, and saw to every aspect of our stay with affable hospitality. As animal lovers, we also enjoyed their playful outdoor kitties and sweet dog, making us feel even more at home. The area surrounding the inn and the grounds are so tranquil, and nearby Jacksonville so quaintly historic, we found ourselves imagining we were in the past, when Edwardian ladies leisurely strolled across the manicured lawns, carriages and their horses could be heard coming up the tree lined drive, and welcoming hosts stood eager and smiling to greet their fortunate guests, just as they do now. We very much look forward to our next visit, and will remember The Willows fondly until that time~ Amy and David

We spent one night at The Willows Inn on a road trip from Seattle to Berkeley. Our room was large and quiet with a view to the garden. The Inn itself is beautiful inside and out and Innkeeper Sandy Dowling served us a breakfast that was delicious and could have made the cover of Gourmet magazine it was so lovely! We hope to come back and highly recommend this place for anyone visiting southern Oregon.

My husband and I found this beautiful historical home on our way to Portland a few years ago. We've been back twice since then. From the moment you drive up, you are awestruck by the gorgeous graceful landscaping. Entering the front door, the home has the indescribable scent of a beautiful well cared for old home. For those of you that notice that in a home, it's hard to find these days. The home is meticulously clean. We stayed in the Butlers Retreat and love the views and amenities of the room. The rooms are decorated with great taste and again, clean! We also loved the McCaskey room. We were delivered a glass of lemonade as we enjoyed the pool. It's nice that you may purchase a glass of wine if you'd like. Sandy and Joe are very friendly and great to talk with, should you happen upon them. Two resident pets outside are adorable. The General, cat, captured my pet indifferent husbands heart with her purring as we sat outside. Sandy's breakfast's are incredibly good. My gluten free pancakes (request) were the best I've ever had, with a little lemon or orange zest, syrup, sausage and lots of fruit. Really good! This is a wonderful place to stay and be nurtured. Think of two nights. That's our plan for our next visit.

AwesomeB&B; one of the best I've been to! Beautiful grounds and serene setting. My husband and I will be back!

We were absolutely blown away by the hospitality during our stay at the Willows. The grounds are fantastic and the brekfasts were absolutely amazing. Lounging by the poolside was a treat and the proximity to Jacksonville and Ashland made this spot ideal. I will definitely be staying here again.

My husband and I had the great fortune of finding The Willows B&B on this website. From the moment of our early arrival we were met with graciousness and accommodation. The home is both architecturally and aesthetically beautiful. The room we stayed in was very comfortable, nicely appointed and offered lovely views of property from several windows. As lovely as this house is, Joe and Sandy Dowling are what make it an inviting home. Sandy is a trained chef and applies her trade with attention to the freshest ingredients, perfect mingling of flavors, beautiful presentation and desire to meet the personal requests of her guests. Joe and Sandy are very knowledgeable about Southern Oregon and are wealths of information on just about anything you might need to know to make your visit wonderful. This truly is a special place that I look forward to visiting again.

The Willows ranks at the top of my list. The park-like grounds, stately old elm trees, a beautifully restored 100 year old mansion with beautiful period pieces and accessories. All the amenities, fabulous breakfast, close to many wineries, in a gorgeous part of OR.

Went for one night to unwind after doing a triathalon in the area. Absolutely beautiful place. Thanks again for the amazing breakfast and good conversation

One if the nicest places I have ever stayed. My wife and I stayed in the McCaskey Room for our honeymoon. The room was extremely comfortable and clean. From our wandering it looked to be the nicest room in the house. The only improvement I would have liked would be a small fridge in the room or even in a common area, thought upon request the main fridge was made available to us. The breakfasts were outstanding. Sandy and Joe were both very warm and generous. Sandy is full of stories, and enjoys finding ways to make us more comfortable, such as bringing a bit of watermelon out by the pool for us on a hot day. Joe does a wonderful job taking care of the grounds and they are beautiful. The pool is very nice and relaxing. We have already talked about going back.

Stayed late May 2009 to celebrate our 30th anniversary and had a wonderful experience. Great breakfast, beautiful expansive property with everything in full bloom. The innkeeper was very personable and accomodating. Highly recommended.

The Willows is a B&B beyond any expectations. Spectacular inside & out, breakfast fit for a king and gracious hosts. A most memorable stay.

What a fabulous B&B! 25 minutes from Ashlands & the Shakespeare Festival - the perfect peaceful country estate on 5 acres, complete with gourmet breakfasts, swimming pool and tennis courts. An elegant home away from home.

A magical spot 20 minutes from the Ashland Shakespeare Festival. Beautiful guest rooms on a 5-acre estate overlooking the Rogue Valley. Hearty breakfasts prepared by a talented chef.

We normally don't stay at the best, but location was important and the Willows was convenient. Little did we know how much we'd enjoy it. A winner!

Our stay at The Willows was wonderful. Beautiful grounds, lovely room. The best breakfasts, so thoughtful. We used the pool and were given a pitcher of Iced tea and cookies. My husband and I felt like we met a wonderful friend. Sandy was so helpful with directions of other places to visit. Joe was great with restaurant ideas. Very hospitable couple and comfortable bed!!!!

My husband and I just got home from a wonderful stay at the Willows. Joe and Sandy are the ultimate hosts. The food was wonderful, the room and grounds beautiful and the hospitality was fantastic. We would recommend it to everyone.
