Beautiful property. We cannot wait to stay here again. There are a lot of stairs, but it is 100% worth it! Thank you!

Kind and very responsive host. We had an amazing stay at Windmill in the Willows! Absolutely redone inside and completely new. The decor is beautiful, comfortable, and incredibly relaxing. Evident that so much love and hard work was put into this project. Would definitely recommend this stay for the couple or family who loves something special!

Looking up from the second story deck. Great view of the stars.

Our stay was tranquil, cozy, majestic, welcoming, comforting, and amazing. These are all words said by me, my wife, my daughter, and her friend. This unique home provides a comfortable place for family and friends to gather, a perfect couples getaway, and a great home base for area activities. The attention to detail with decoration and the craftsmanship of making something so primitive into something so luxury is inexplicable. The kitchen was incredibly stocked with utensils, appliances, and available spices. If you have an extended stay in your plans, they have everything you need to make it feel like home. The master suite on floors 4 and 5 can not be matched with the luxuriousness of the rain shower experience, bed comfort, and view. The third floor inclusive combination did not disappoint either! You have to experience it for yourself. There is literally an outdoor experience on every floor! The 2nd floor balcony amenities even includes tables and chairs for a dining and social experience that you won't forget. The 3rd, 4th and 5th floors all offer viewing options if you dare! We stayed during the winter so I can only imagine what the warmer months bring with beaches, islands, theme parks, cities and adventures!

Thank you for your thoughtful review. You have described our windmill experience exactly how we hoped it would make people feel. It is our pleasure to have respectful and tidy guests like yourselves who acknowledge the craftsmanship. Although our Windmill really shines in warmer weather months the current snowy landscape you where able to experience is also be cozy and majestic! We'd be happy to have you back in the future!

We visited as a family of 3 and can’t recall a better stay. The windmill has been completed and renovated by the owners with love. They and their children are most welcoming and responsive to any needs. The site is quiet, located at the edge of a large woods with wildlife on the lawn. It is simple to go on daily treks of 30 miles or less in any direction with all sorts of adventures. This is not for the Disneyworld crowd, but is a place to relax or enjoy family and the Lake Erie beach and woods and fields.Kids love the windmill adventure and families will enjoy evenings on the porches or by the barbecue and fire pit. We were here in late October and the days were clear and sunny and the leaves were gloriously in color. Farm stands sent us home with lots of varieties of fresh apples to take home. This is truly a gem of a location for couples to relax or families to vacation or celebrate occasions. I wish everyone could enjoy it as much as we did.
