Willows Lodge
Washington
Willows Lodge sits among gardens beside the Sammamish River in Woodinville wine country. Its Northwest character comes through in salvaged materials: doors made from old wine casks, century-old Douglas fir timbers from the Port of Portland and guest-room tables fashioned from recycled slate pool tables. Rooms and suites offer deep soaking baths and private patios, with many looking over gardens of Japanese maples, conifers and water features. Native planting continues to the river's edge, while herbs, edible plants and fruit trees connect the grounds with the lodge's dining. Barking Frog and neighbouring The Herbfarm give food a substantial role in a stay. A spa, nearby tasting rooms and trails along the river provide further ways to spend the day.
