Awesome place

Great stay. Close to the water which was about a 5 minute drive. Hosts were excellent. Right there when we needed them. Fabulous property. So much to do there. The lodge is huge. We were 20 people and everyone had a place to sleep. Would definitely recommend. And the waterfall in back is truly a work of art and very relaxing to sit by.

Foothill fantastic!

Willow Springs was a great place to stay for a large group. Our jeep club had 21 heads in beds and made use of the great commercial quality kitchen, bar and large living room. We had multiple community meals, held a raffle Saturday night and enjoyed great camaraderie. The location is close to the river, the foothills, and North San Juan - with many interesting characters. The hosts are very responsive and accommodating. All in all, we would highly recommend.

Tyler's 21st Birthday Bash

This was an outstanding vacation for us. Mark and Trish, were the best hosts. They were prompt, accommodating, very friendly and welcoming. the house was clean and everything in working order. The house was perfect for our group of 16 with a huge kitchen and living areas. All rooms were comfortable and the property was immaculately kept. We hope to go back again and stay with mark and Trish. One of the best VRBO experiences we have ever had.

Because of the size of our group, we booked the lodge along with the campground, yurt, and the homestead cabin. The set up was marvelous for our family of 43. The beds were comfortable, and spaces were well-equipped. The kitchen was our main selling point. We couldn’t have imagined a better place to prepare and serve food. Inside plus outside seating easily accommodated our large group. The weather was too warm to have a campfire, but the campfire space was an excellent outdoor gathering space. Mark and Trish are fantastic hosts! They responded quickly to restock items and any questions we had. They greeted us warmly and were able to give us pointers to help us thoroughly enjoy our stay. Highly recommended!!!

Peace, quiet, abundance

The listing does not do this property justice. So phenomenal and well appointed in each space. Designed thoughtfully for a relaxing get away. We had a women’s retreat and the set up of the rooms were done in such a way to accommodate both privacy or price from private rooms with beautiful bathrooms to adorable attic dorm room for sharing. There’s no way to speak to each well appointed space to spend time together, alone and in between. There’s even a room outside the building for extra peace and quiet and privacy. Let me tell you, the commercial kitchen was a joy to use. So easy to prepare clean up meals. Behind the lodge, beautiful and relaxing water features with multiple places to gather or be alone. Thoughtfully appointed for relaxation and comfort. Amazing hosts, so helpful, thoughtful, friendly. Blessed our sox off!

Awesome Memorial Day vacation

We had booked this property for a short vacation with group of 5 families, which included an elderly person and children from teenagers to toddlers. It was an awesome vacation which all of us enjoyed to the fullest. The property is located by the side of highway 49 and easy to access with ample parking g space. It is well maintained and situated within a 4-acres property, with its own nursery growing various gourmet spices and herbs; and chicken coop for children to enjoy. Patricia and Mark are very gracious hosts and reside in adjoining 14 acres property. So, we had in effect an 18 acres property where children could run around, play, feed the chicken under watchful eyes of the manager - Ms. Anne. We enjoyed the fire pit in the night, playing and dancing to music with no one to complain! Daytime trips were to South Yuba river beach, where the children enjoyed the water and other nearby hiking trails. The hosts are developing the property into a retreat for hosting group events and workshops. Hope to return to stay again some day! With regards Randhir

Family Reunion June 2023

We had 25 family members attend this year, out of a possible 43. We came from southern CA, OR, CO and WA. Three of our group had travel trailers which we set up at designated sites. The house is very up-to-date, and the commercial kitchen is something we’ve never seen at a VRBO home. There are many themes going on with the property. Kids ranged from 2 months to 20 years. They enjoyed the chickens, the hot tub (with adult supervision), and just exploring the place. Because it was warm, we used the open, covered pavilion for evening meals and group games. We had a fire in the fire pit each evening. Mark recommended a place called Oregon Creek day use area, just down the road. Some of our group went there every day during our stay, and the kids and adults had a good time in the water. We found a place about 20 miles away where we could do some shooting in the National Forest, after checking with the Ranger Station. What was interesting about Willow Springs was the variety of features on the premises. Kids had places to play, adults had areas in which to visit, both indoors and outdoors.

Perfect for a family reunion or a couples getaway

From beginning to end the hosts were very easy to deal with, and very accommodating. Though we did not rent the entire property, they allowed us and our family to wander around and use, what I will call, the pavilion for some evening dancing and music. My out-of-state family was able to rent two of the cabins separately, so they were on the property as well. The lodge Does not picture nearly as cute as it actually is. The hobbit room in the pictures appears to be much bigger than it really is. The commercial kitchen was easy to use and had very clear and concise instructions written both in the manual/welcome book, and also on the walls near whatever item you were using. We cooked some very large meals for over 35 people. Another part of our family was able to rent a cabin nearby, so they joined us for all of the meals. Again, I would say the pictures do not do this property justice. The hosts were a pleasure to work with and easy to make contact with. The backyard is a very peaceful place to hang out and talk; along with multiple other places on the property. I would definitely go back to this property for another family reunion, or a weekend getaway in one of the cabins. We spent an entire day at the river only five minutes away. Great paddle boarding area, barbecuing, and rope swings and swimming. So much fun for family. It is just 30-50 feet from the highway which made it a little scary to have a little kids out front, but the backyard is sufficient for the kids to play around. Cars do drive by way too fast sometimes, but it is hardly noticeable when you’re having such a good time. Thank you for letting us celebrate my mom’s 70th birthday at your property, hopefully we will be back sometime soon.

Great family experience

Had a wonderful family getaway at The Willow Springs Lodge. We loved how roomy and open the main living area was--giving us ample space to hang out and dine as a family. We also really enjoyed ending our evenings in the hot tub and visiting with the chickens. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely

North San Juan is a special place to me and my family, and I was excited to find this lovely home available for all of us to be together. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I wasn't able to make the trip, however the rest of the family did and thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful home. They all expressed that the home was clean, spacious, and an overall "cool place". The kids loved the outdoor space! Patricia was very communicative and helpful with information about the area and recreation. I will be making a trip this summer and hope to have the opportunity to experience a stay at this lovely home!
