For the past four years our family has gathered on the 29th of December to celebrate Christmas. The accommodations are great!!! Then on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day two other couples join us to bring in the New Year with fun and flurry! We find the staff, owners, and everyone involved to be very helpful (we always need... More

We docked our boat overnight from the Mississippi River to this hotel. We were surprised at how big the rooms were. We didn't bring foods to make meals, but the kitchen in each room (we had several rooms), had everything you would need to make meals. All rooms face the water. Each room was very well thought out and so... More

We stayed in Willows on the river unit #2. It was large than we needed but we wanted a king size bed and this had it. It's a 2 bedroom unit, both rooms with king size beds. One bedroom/bathroom was on the 2nd floor with a balcony. We didn't use that room. The main floor had a bathroom, kitchen/dining, living... More

Spent 3 nights at the Willows in a 2nd floor, 1 bedroom unit. Unit was very spacious with large bathroom, walkin closet (with washer/dryer) and nice kitchen open to the living room. Appliances seemed new. Floor to ceiling windows made you feel like you were right over the water. The views of Lake Pepin are extraordinary. Would recommend the Willows... More

This place is wonderful, we had a delighful time, we come every year and the staff couldnt be more friendly or helpful. We will definitely be back. Lovely sunrise, and very good coffee for a hotel! Makes me want to stay longer. Came with several friends on a boat and already have my reservation for next year.

Beautiful view but that's as far as it goes! The management are incredibly rude people. I have never been treated so poorly. As stated in another review, the customer is always WRONG. I stayed there with a group of 5. We are all profession women with careers and families. We were charged for a broken bar stool that we noticed... More

At the beautiful Willows on the River the customer is always wrong. Poor management accompanied by rude customer service, this lovely place to stay can turn your vacation into a major disappointment.

We were looking for a place last minute for 4 couples riding down to Lake City on motorcycle. Willows had a 2 bedroom condo still available and it couldn't have been more perfect. The staff is amazing from Anna at the front desk to the young lady bartending Saturday night who called the owner and arranged a ride for us... More
