    Have to travel up this way for business once a month and was looking for a comfortable place to stay on a regular basis. I avoid hotels and motels whenever I possibly can, and donn't mind putting in the extra $$$ to stay someplace cozy and relaxed without the claustrophia and sterility of just four walls. Loved that I could linger in the common area downstairs in front of the fireplace. Would have brought my suit had I known there was a hot tub! Next month while there I intend to take full advantage of the upstairs area for relaxing, if time allows. Claire and Jerome were such great hosts, it was hard to pull myself away from breakfast to get back on the road. The only reason the room didn't get 5 stars was because I couldn't keep the TV working. Because no one was in the room across the way, I did sneak in to relax in front of their TV before turning in for the night. I'm sure that issue will be resolved before my next visit. And am really looking forward to it!

    Innkeeper Response
    We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and that you are coming back so soon! The TV issue has indeed been fixed--it was only batteries in the remote--glad it was such an easy fix! I wish (I had known when you were here.) Do bring your suit next time--there's nothing like soaking in the hot tub when it's snowy outside!

    My partner and I had stayed at willow pond and what a wonderful stay. The room was so warm and inviting, We were met at the front door by our wonderful hostess Claire and she gave us a tour of the house, which by the way might I add was so wonderful and really made you feel at home. Her husband Jerome was great telling wonderful stories and getting us both to laugh so hard we cried. My partner and I sat down later in the evening to talk with them about our own ideas of starting up a bed and breakfast and what a wonderful wealth of knowledge they both were to us. I can’t wait to go back and do it again, Thank you, Thank you Thank you….. -Daniel & Nathan Hillsdale, Mi

    I couldn't have pictured a more relaxing weekend. Our stay was PERFECT! Very, very affordable and relaxing! This was just what I was looking for in a weekend getaway. We booked our 2nd reservation before we checked out :) Claire and Jerome are very warm and loving people who have opened their homes up to share with everyone. We cannot wait to go back!!!

    Willow Pond is a wonderfully beautiful quiet setting. Clare is a wonderfully warm hostess and Jerome is a man with a joyous heart that always has a story to spin. We felt more like family than guests. Highly recommend it!
