Riverfront Property with a Great View!

5 of 5
Submitted: December 5, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
We enjoyed two nights during the winter. It was cozy and warm with the wood stove and Toyo stove. Our rooms had nice covers with an extra blanket and the attention to details like chilled glasses in the freezer and ice ready for blending a fruit drink. It was perfect get away place. We walked on the river ice and could hear the sounds of water flowing underneath as the big bright moon illuminated the white landscape. I would recommend this experience for those who enjoy getting away and having peace and quiet. I was lucky to find the Santa Crafts show at the Community Center with lots of wood working, knitting and great Christmas gifts. Even the local Art Gallery was showing many artists from the area. Willow is a wonderful place filled with lots of friendly people. Come and visit their quiet neck of the woods.

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your very thoughtful review. Winter in Alaska is a beautiful time for sure. We're very pleased you enjoyed your time at Willow Creek Inn and hope when you are back in this area, you will stay with us again.

THE highlight of our Alaska trip.

Submitted: August 22, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We stayed here after a week cruise and next time we will just skip the cruise and hopefully spend more time here. We only had three nights to stay here, but it will long be remembered as the best three nights of our lives. Paul and Ginny were the perfect hosts. The cabin is well stocked, the beds are wonderful and the setting is so tranquil we didn't want to leave. Sleeping with the windows open to hear the gentle flow of the river is an experience in itself.
The cabin is so secluded you think that the rest of the world is a million miles away, but if you need anything, a convience store is just down the road and Wal-Mart is a short drive away.
Thank you so much for allowing us to stay here and the use of your gold pans. Although microscopic, I actually found a few "nuggets"!!

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your great review of Willow Creek Inn. We very much appreciate your input. We enjoy offering our place to travelers and try our best to make it a great retreat. Sometimes during travels, it's just good to stay at a place where you can kick back, relax, yet still enjoy the best Alaska has to offer. Once again, thank you so much & we hope to see you
back in Alaska one day.

Ginny and Paul were great hosts. The home was a great place to relax. It was clean and well supplied. Many hours were spent on the porch just watching the river flow by. Can't wait to get back.

Fantastic property!

My fishing buddy and I stayed here for six days in September and all I can say is what a great place this is! The website pictures do not do this place justice. It is centrally located to many great streams (Willow Creek, Montana Creek, Goose Creek, etc) as well as sightseeing and wildlife viewing. It is very well equipped and the setting on Willow creek with 27 acres makes it a great place to get away from the crowds.

We inquired about a local guide and were referred to George Ortman (www.adventureguiding.com). We booked him for two days, had such a great time and caught so many fish that we booked him for third day. He comes highly recommended.

I will have to say this is the nicest place I have ever stayed and look forward to returning to Willow Creek Inn.
