"Everything was just as advertised, very clean with everything we needed. Printed list for everything we needed. Including restaurant recommendation which was spot on."
"The hotel is better than expected. The staff was all so friendly and helpful. We stayed 4 nights and enjoyed every day. The rooms were we stayed with queen beds at the Mission building were all recently redone and were very nice , with great air, microwave, frig, coffee pot, bed, and fixtures. The lobby was very nice with an ice machine, TV, snacks, setting, pool, and desert essentials and great maps."
"I'll be honest Willow House is part of why I committed to this trip. I saw it online and thought, this alone is worth going. And I say that as someone who has been burned by listings that oversell and underdeliver.
Willow House is the opposite. The photos do not do it justice. The decor, the style, the way everything fits the landscape. It's minimal desert architecture done exactly right. Not only was the design thought out and intentional, but they clearly thought through the entire experience from start to finish for their guests.
The rooms were pristine. The whole place was immaculate. And the practical side matched the aesthetic. The kitchen was fully equipped with pots, pans, utensils, everything you'd need to actually cook. Plus the basics: spice rack, oils, all of it. You just brought groceries and you were set. There was a designated wine bar with fridge and coffee bar. They provided coffee pods and beans for their machines. Someone actually thought about what it feels like to stay there, not just what it looks like in photos.
The setting alone was incredible. You can see Big Bend National Park and Santa Elena Canyon in the distance.
I will absolutely be back. One of the best stays I've ever had."
"The place was very clean, and as listed had pretty complete kitchen which we enjoyed. Bedrooms are a bit tight but we managed. Experienced record heat but ac worked great! Good location for visit to Big Bend. We should’ve stayed 2 nights. "
