Country Willows Inn

A place that will live in our hearts.
We’ve stayed at the Country Willows twice this year. The first time was to enjoy a short vacation in beautiful Ashland. The second time was to have our wedding in their lovely garden.
The Country Willows B&B is something special. Dan and Kara — the owners and soul of Country Willows — are amazing. The ambiance of the B&B is spectacular. It truly is a home away from home: comfortable, serene, fresh, familiar, and prepared with so much heart.
The B&B is conveniently located as well. It is off the beaten path, but still only minutes away from all of Ashland’s attractions and restaurants.
During our time at the Country Willows, we had the chance to see all of the rooms at the B&B because we rented out the entire property for our intimate wedding weekend with friends and family. Each room is unique, well appointed, and assembled with care.
The breakfast in their dining room is locally sourced and delectable, just one more facet in which so much consideration and careful planning goes into.
Their staff is also extraordinary, and willing to go out of their way to make you feel at home. Kara and Dan went above and beyond to make our and our families’ stay as special and personal as possible.
As we planned our wedding, Dan and Kara were so patient, kind, open, sincere, and just real. We knew our wedding would be fabulous, but even so, the actual day totally blew away our expectations. It was more marvelous than we imagined it could be!
In large part, this is because of Dan and Kara’s consideration and support. Dan helped us juggle numerous outside vendors with grace and flexibility. And Kara was always available and caring, ensuring our guests had everything they needed every step of the way.

We truly, truly LOVE this place.
And we will be back as often as possible!

Had an absolutely delightful stay at this place.
While I did my research on Country Willows beforehand, we decided last minute to stay the night in Ashland. By then, the online system did not accept same day reservation and as a result I called the inn directly. Lucky for us for visiting non-​peak season, Kara was able to assist in arranging a stay for us even though she was on travel and away from the inn at the time.
Just few minutes from downtown, this place is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by a beautiful garden and nature. The inn itself is beautiful inside and out with common areas tastefully furnished. The suite is extremely spacious, comfortably furnished and has a large bathroom. I love all the detail they’ve put in the place.
In addition to the breathtaking view from the breakfast room, the breakfast was also delicious.
While we only stayed for a night, we haven’t stopped raving about our stay here and cant wait to come back again soon.

Beautiful, gorgeous, homey and elegant place. The plan was to stay for one night and ended up stay two as me and my wife fell in love with the hospitality, décor and landscape. Owners are very friendly and welcoming. To top it off they have an amazing chef who creates amazing breakfast dishes which are healthy and filling.

What a wonderful place to get away. Owners are super nice and they give you all the privacy you need. WE live in Mount Shasta and needed to get away from our crazy, hectic schedule. Found this place online and seriously so far this has been our best bed and breakfast experience ever. I highly recommend this place to anyone in need of getting away and needing some private time whether alone or with your partner. Morning breakfast was exceptional. You can tell there is a lot of care that goes into making their breakfast and in keeping this place neat and clean. All in all, amazing place with great views of the surrounding hills.

So good we’ll drive five hours.
A couple months ago we were traveling to Ashland and just days before our trip the B&B we were going to stay at made a change to our reservation. This was on a holiday weekend so we were as the kids say, «Up s— creek…» Fortunately country willows had a room available. Man oh man, are we glad we ended up here. It was so good we even came back for my wife’s birthday.
I love how every need is anticipated for you. Fresh coffee and tea in the common areas. Sunscreen and beach towels by the pool. Snacks and pastries in the main house and breakfast area.
The hosts are very accommodating. I am perfectly happy conversing with strangers over breakfast, however for my wife she prefers to sleep in and enjoy breakfast at her leisure. Every morning when I walk in they have the tray ready for us and they ever remember that my wife is a vegetarian and has a nut allergy. Both times we stayed they remembered. Makes you feel a warm inside. They even remember when we like to have our room turned over.
The breakfasts are amazing. Freshly prepared with seasonal ingredients. Also the food is beautifully presented. I’m never left hungry or wanting. I guess my only recommendation would be some sort of protein option for vegetarians on some of the days.
We stay in the Sunrise suite. it is a gorgeous room with a big tub. It’s perfect for a 100 degree day to just sit by the AC and watch some netflix on the chromecast.
Sounds like my wife will gladly make the drive to stay at her new favorite place. Thank you for all the memories and we’ll be seeing you again soon.

Love this place — we return every year during our annual trip northward. Their breakfast is amazing with a stellar view while you eat And the inn owners and keeper are so kind.

Every year we return to Country Willows to discover a major improvement or significant system update to the B&B. The care and energy that the owners, Dan and Kara, give to the inn makes our stays endlessly relaxing. We feel pampered!
Country Willows is more a resort destination than a place-​to-​stay B&B. The property is a well-​maintained, non-​functioning farm complete with grassy fields, a pond, and geese. In real life farmers work to hard for me to want to live on a farm. But, I love the rural fantasy that Country Willows offers!
There is a full-​size pool and plenty of spaces indoors and outdoors where you can grab your Kindle, iPad, or!!! gasp!!! book and hide from the world.
The space is gorgeous and the care to the guests is embarrassingly wonderful. The breakfasts are a great example of the standards. Every morning there’s a different juice, fruit course, and main course. Each course is excellent, often locally produced, and full of flavor. And, I shouldn’t forget the scones or bread that magically appears by the coffee pot in the breakfast room about 8 each morning. Very fine!
The property is on the edge of Ashland, which means it’s only a 10-​minute or so drive from the theaters of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Each room is different so check the website to pick your size and layout. Our favorites are the Sunrise and the Hayloft because we stay multiple days and like the extra space those suites have.
We visit Country Willows the same time every year, and now socialize with two other couples who started booking into Daedalus week with us 17 years ago. It’s a very warm, personal, and special place.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! So close to down town, very relaxing, beautiful grounds and great food!

Wow… what a great place to spend an anniversary getaway. My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights. And it was worth every penny spent. This is our second visit to Country Willows, both times we were here for our anniversary. And I would come back again and again.
The setting for the B&B is spectacular. Tucked away against the hills on the south side of Ashland, this little getaway is not too far from the downtown area. About a 5 minute drive (or 15 minute bikeride) from the Shakespeare Festival. We stayed 6 nights, 3 in the Sunrise Suite and three in the PIne Ridge Suite. The Pine Ridge is spacious, with a beautiful bathroom and a nice seating area/​porch off the main door. The Sunrise, however, may be our favorite. It is a bit smaller, and the bathroom isn’t as appointed, but the private balcony is pretty awesome!
The breakfasts here are amazing. 3 course meals that are made with what is in season in their garden, and the chef likes to play with new ideas as well as some old favorites. Dan is a really good chef, and he also made one first course fruit compote made from the blackberries that another guest had picked the previous day. Simply amazing.
Kara is really nice and accommodating. She clearly has the temperament to work the front of a B&B. Most of the guests are older (the place is not cheap, so it tends to be people with some extra cash or retirees that are travelling up from California), and they tend to be more demanding of Kara’s time. She takes it all in stride, goes out of her way to help everyone, and does everything possible to make sure her guests are well cared for.
I cannot recommend this place enough for a nice little getaway. No matter how long you stay, you will wish you stayed longer. I can easily see this as our yearly getaway from PDX.

The breakfasts were delicious, the beds cozy with amazing sheets and the innkeeper and owners gracious and welcoming. I would definitely come back to Country Willows, hopefully in the summer so I can take advantage of their outdoor pool.

I love Country Willows. I have be going back every year for 8+ years. If my work schedule permitted, it would go every quarter. I love the Inn itself, the countryside, Daniel’s truly D E L I C I O U S breakfasts, the exquisite town of Ashland, the people … and I could just go on. Every square inch is manicured but in a very relaxed way. I can’t praise any other place I’ve been quite as highly as this enchanting B&B.

This establishment comes pretty darn close to being a perfect B&B. For years we’ve made it a goal to lodge as close to the theaters as possible. Our reserved lodging this trip proved to be so inhospitable that I didn’t get hardly any sleep. In moving to the B&B my only priority was «I need to get some sleep» and would never have chosen a B&B so far away (3 miles). I will never again chose lodging based on proximity and will always return here. It’s blissfully quiet and absolutely lovely. Going to the theater and then coming back to this country idyl is like having two vacations in one. Amazing!
The only change I would like would be a healthy, hippy food breakfast, but I have a feeling most of their guests would disagree.

A beautiful country home with very friendly management and exceptional food. I highly recommend!

After a long drive from Portland, OR — anything more than 30 minutes is considered long for a Portlander. I was ready to peel myself out of my car seat and unfurl, stretch, relax, detox, unwind. I was ready for a lovely and memorably romantic weekend away with my lady. A lovely, romantic, and relaxing weekend was definitely what we experienced!
First impressions: Tucked away on a hillside at the end of a quiet street just outside of the main strip in Ashland is Country Willows BnB. A lovely estate, that I could see as an artists retreat.
The pictures on the website do not do the beauty of the surroundings or of the facilities justice. My senses were delighted w/​the beauty and serenity — just what the doctor ordered. In the lobby were decanters of Sherry, and Port Wine with dishes of raw almonds, and candies (I must admit that I imbibed a bit).
Daniel was an incredible host — friendly, accommodating, and personal.
This place was dialed in. BnB w/​a personal touch down to the finest detail (homemade organic granola, gourmet breakfasts that made my tongue burst into holy flames, my head swoon, and my tummy go gummy w/​delight).

We’ve been long time fans of Country Willows. The location at the end of a residential road in a field makes for a rural feel, even though the inn is about a mile and a half or so from the main theaters. There’s a lovely pool to take a dip in and it’s easy to find a nook where you can read the afternoon away. If something more active is your pleasure, the White Rabbit trail system is just behind the inn. The delicious breakfasts are prepared with care (designed by a longtime resident and former owner of the inn – brought back to revitalize the meals and snacks). They’ve taken great pains to make the inn a truly magical experience.

The personal touch of a b and b with the service level/​furnishings/​facilities of a luxury hotel — wow. I had gotten the two nights stay as part of an auction package, so hadn’t researched the inn, but if I’d had any expectations, they were far exceeded. The setting is beautiful, the thoughtful touches are everywhere, and the gourmet breakfast would put most destination restaurants to shame. They even had the daily NY Times! Cara was gracious about our late arrival (they really do wait for you, so if arriving past 5 you should let them know) and Dan offered to raid the kitchen for cereal suitable to my non-​healthy-​eating teen. I’ve already told the man I’m dating that I want to come back for a different kind of visit than I had with my daughter!

Stayed here for a few days around New Year’s, and LOVED it. Our room was exquisite and comfortable, and had a giant soaking tub. I want their bed linens! Well, not really (even with frequent washings that’s a little weird), but I’d buy them if I found them new. Our room was spotlessly cleaned daily.
Chuck and Debbie were wonderful hosts. The breakfasts were delicious and inventive… spinach crepes, lemon ricotta pancakes, some kind of Swedish pancake (cooked in an antique mold, can’t remember the name). Very, very good.
Can’t forget the other resident attractions: Sam, the barn cat (who loves to be scratched but won’t come inside), and Patches and Cleo, the affectionate goats.
