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.

Owner response:We sure enjoyed our little visit with you. We don't often get to visit with our guests. It was great conversation. Hope to see you back in Alaska again. Thank you again for your business. Paul & Ginny

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. Eric, Georgetown, Colorado

Beyond our expectations

This cabin is beautiful and the setting is perfect. We loved the sound of the rushing water, the fishing experience, and the location. It was quiet, wonderfully stocked, and very clean. The owner's are great and gave us information for activities and a great reference for a local fishing guide. Don't miss the drive over Hatcher Pass. We would highly recommend this property and will return again. Our 25th anniversary couldn't have been spent in a better place.

Great place to stay! Right by a rushing stream, in the woods, comfortable, clean and well equipped!

There were six of us and the Willow Creek Inn was perfect for us. Paul was the perfect host.He made sure we had everything we needed and was a wealth of information! The cabin was spacious and clean and very comfortable. It was relaxing to hear the stream rushing by and to walk alongside it in the woods. We really enjoyed it there and hope one day to return!

We have stayed at both cabins provided by the above renters and have enjoyed each stay. We have tried to book other times as well, but the cabins are always full. That tells you something. They have always been clean, a good location for us, and flexible. We will be staying at this Willow property again, with no doubt. The owners are responsible and caring and want to ensure that their guests have a hassle free stay. The scenery is beautiful and it is a very relaxing, and calming place.

Owner response:We've enjoyed having you as guests. We're glad your family was also able to be there last summer. Thank you so much for your kind review and we hope to see you there again. Have a great summer!

This was a great place to stay and the house had everything we needed. Our kids really enjoyed picking the wild berries around the cabin and making syrup with them for french toast. We left wishing we had more time to stay and enjoy Alaska. We would definitely recommend staying here during a visit to Alaska.

Owner response:Thanks Brian & Jeanette, Hopefully you'll be able to come back someday! Glad you enjoyed our place. The Pierces

Me and my husband stayed in the smaller cabin and LOVED it! Paul and Ginny were so helpful and kind and their cabin is beautiful. The location is perfect if you are looking to get away and relax as you listen to the sound of the river that is out front of the cabin. Great salmon fishing is close and it's a good location to get to many places, north or south. It has a great view and the cabin is wonderful inside. I hope to stay here again and I plan on recommending it to anyone interested in visiting Alaska!

What a delightful place to stay! We couldn't have asked for a better vacation spot both in the gorgeous home and the beautiful setting. Very clean, well stocked. This exceeded all our expectations.

Owner response:Thanks Dave & Trudi for you favorable comment! We always appreciate when our guests are happy with our place. We work hard to keep it nice and make it like "home" for our renters. Paul & Ginny Pierce (owners)

Had a great time staying at the cabin this past July. My brother and two sons had the vacation of a lifetime! The cabin was perfectly located for access to Hatcher Pass, Talkeetna and Mt. McKinley. Definitely off the beaten path, but still had all the comforts of home and ironically could get a cell signal! Didn't see any bears at the cabin, but did see bald eagles.

We were 2 couples that needed a place to stay for 1 night on our way to Denali National Park. The pictures on the website do not do the Inn justice. Beautiful vaulted ceilings, a full size kitchen stocked with plates, utensils, and glasses, and 2 bedrooms with the most comfortable beds that were well received after a long day of traveling from the East Coast. Communication between myself and Paul was excellent. Any questions were answered promptly. I would not hesitate to recommend the Inn and would definitely stay here again when (not if) we return to Alaska.

Owner response:Thank you Brian, we are looking forward to seeing you again, here in Alaska. Thanks again for the wonderful response. Paul Pierce (Willow Creek Inn)

We enjoyed perfect peace in late September and wish we had more time there. Absolutely beautiful, restorative, completely comfortable with very helpful hosts. Thanks much.

Owner response:Hi Joan & Nubs, Thanks so much for your wonderful comments. We enjoyed having you there and hope that one day you will return to Alaska and have more time to enjoy the Great Land! Paul & Ginny Pierce Owners: Willow Creek Inn

A Great Place To Stay

Guest: gustov (willow ak usa)
Date of Stay: 01/05/08 Review Submitted: 05/16/10

We stayed at this 2 bedroom rental long term during the winter of 2008 and loved it. We were building our own home and needed a place to rent until its completion. The property location is very beautiful and peaceful and the house is furnished very nicely and stocked very well with linens and everthing for the kitchen. The owners were really nice. They always kept the driveway plowed and if there was anything we needed we always felt comfortable calling them. We would love to come back during the summer months just to experience summer at this rental. The river is right out front of the house and it must be really nice in the summer. We would recommend this rental to anyone wanting to vacation in Alaska or as a long-term rental during the off season.

Owner response:Thanks for the great review. We were glad to be able to accomodate you. We hope you are enjoying your new home!

This is a FABULOUS getway! It was a perfect setting for our family's long weekend. The guys got to fish just steps away from the house, and the gals got to chat and prepare the meals...and we all had fun playing games. The home is decorated beautifully and is so well stocked. We can't wait to return.

We were the first guests of this new home on the river and thought it was wonderful. It is supplied with every convenience you could possibly ask for and the friendly owners live just up the road if you need something else. It's great to sit on the deck and enjoy the river flowing by and there are many activities within an easy drive. We are already planning a trip back there next summer. Please feel free to email us for more details.

Owner response:Thanks Joanne & Greg....we loved having you . You were all great. Looking forward to seeing you next summer. Paul & Ginny Pierce (owners Willow Creek Inn)
