Summary:
Willow is your front-row seat to stillness. A glass-fronted lodge on a private lake, it’s designed for two, with a hot tub, wood burner, kayaks and a sun deck that hovers over the water. Wake up slowly, swim freely, and end the day fireside as the light slips behind the trees. With wild trails, total privacy and everything taken care of, Willow is where luxury meets real peace.
