September 2009 My new husband I had the time of our lives! We didn’t have time to explore all there is to do. I look forward to returning with my loving husband. It was tranquil and very much close to nature. This is an experience we will never forget. It was a wedding present to me to be here in the mountains of Asheville, NC. Thank you!
August 2009 We had a memorable family vacation at Willow Winds!! Found you on the well done website and we were pleased with all of the extra amenities that Willow Winds provided ~ from delicious “Welcome Cookies” to flashlights for evening walks in your beautiful woodland gardens….Thank you to the office crew for your warm hospitality to parents and children alike. Hope to return someday! Bill, Sue Ann, Brad, & Scott
July 2009 PERFECT place for our family reunion. Appreciated our chair persons ability find this place for us. We came from NY, MD, GA, TN, KY, FL, KY, PA & SC. Your accommodations worked out beautifully. We enjoyed many activities from horseback riding to white water rafting. Many restaurants, group of 37 at Province 620, to Ladies Luncheon at Corner Kitchen, to mention just a few.
The Basilica of St. Laurence was awe inspiring and two days at Biltmore.
Age variation from 2 years old to 85 allowed time for family visiting and pinochle. Peaceful views from porches and watching birds. Games and Videos loaded from office ~ Every one busy all the time. Thank you for having such a Great Place.
July 2009 The Four Flatlanders from Iowa ~ From the most awful flat terrain that encompasses sheer thousands of acres of corn & beans & corn & pasture & beans & hayfields & did I mention corn (?) to these beautiful mountains & scenery! We trailer our Harleys down & rode every day, all day, for four days ~ only got rained on once! Awesome mountain views! The cabin is bigger than our homes & since we live in town surrounded by people, the scenery & privacy was excellent. Can’t think of anything that could be improved upon other than staying longer if we could.

July 2009 We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The area has so many things to explore. Biltmore Estate and Chimney Rock were a high point. “Donna’s Diamond” was a great place to come back to each afternoon.

July 2009 We love this place!
It was wonderful to feel so “out in the middle” of nowhere and yet so close to all the area has to offer. Great micro-brews at area restaurants. We saw a concert at the Orange Peel, fireworks in Asheville, hiked, and lots of sight seeing. We’ll be back –can’t wait to enjoy the hot tub while gazing at the fall foliage.

July 2009 This is probably the 10th time we have stayed at Willow Winds. We always enjoy this place! This time we hiked and enjoyed being outdoors ~~ it was beautiful!! We’ll be back (hopefully Soon!) Valerie & Greg, Mark & Laura
July 2009 This makes our 2nd trip to Willow Winds. It is one of the most relaxing places for vacations we have ever experienced. This trip we went to Lineville Caverns, Triple Falls, NC Arboretum, Shopped Downtown, Grovewood Gallery, and the Folk Art Center. We enjoyed our cabin, grounds, hot tub, grill, etc.

July 2009 We have just completed a family reunion week with parents from Treasure Island, FL and siblings from Jacksonville, FL, Houston TX, Chapel Hill, NC, PT. Pleasant Beach NJ and Singapore!
We each had our own cabins ~ Close enough to see each other and far enough away to have some privacy. Enough activities to satisfy everyone and we all had a marvelous time. Thanks!
June 2009 We had a family reunion for about 50 --- what a great luxury camp this was! Very well run, Very clean, and SO comfortable for all of us and so handy to many attractions. All ages, from 6 months to 85 years, had a wonderful time. Mary & Ralph
June 2009 We enjoy our visits here so much we had to share it with my parents. They haven’t been able to take a vacation in a few years due to health issues. So we felt that it was our duty to share Willow Winds with them. The best way to experience Asheville. We brought our 10 month old daughter for her 1st visit too. I’m sure she’ll be here many more times over.
We hope you enjoy your visit(s) as much as we all do.

June 2009 This was our second visit to Willow Winds and just as before it was wonderful. This is a great place ~ so spacious, clean, comfortable, and I love being up in the trees. We will be back, soon I hope!
June 7th, 2009 My husband surprised me on our 9th wedding anniversary by bring me here for a long weekend. We were both delighted, much better than we expected. We packed in a fun weekend of Biltmore Estate and winery, then hiking at Chimney Rock then next day. I walked around Willow Winds one morning and was enchanted by all the blooming begonias & impatients surrounding the lovely fountains. He couldn’t have picked a better surprise anniversary gift.

June 2009 Two single parents looking for a fun, romantic, quiet getaway weekend, and we found it at Willow winds! Wonderful Cabins ~ loved the deck at night, hot tub, and overall cleanliness! The location is perfect. We enjoyed Biltmore Estate, riding on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Looking Glass Falls, a walk around the property here (the pond is pretty!)and fun playing the games.

May 2009 What a wonderful surprise! This gorgeous setting and beautiful cabin made us feel as if we were back camping in the woods, with all the modern conveniences. The cabin is everything you could hope for. Nothing is spared to provide you with every comfort. The hot tub was heaven after a long day at the Biltmore Estate. Aches and pains fled. Sitting around the fire with friends and enjoying the relaxing atmosphere made this one of our most enjoyable vacation. We’ll be back, soon I hope!

April 2009 This is our second trip here at Willow Winds. WONDERFUL! This is our Favorite Vacation.! The kids love to fish and the hot tub is their favorite. Went to Biltmore, Chimney Rock was a must see! Can’t wait to come back again next year!! Jim, Tammy, Noah, Alyssa & Olivia
April 2009 We had a wonderful vacation at Willow Winds. “Donna’s Diamond” exceeded our expectations. Beautiful cabin, scenery, hot tub, fireplace, great movies & a fabulous staff (especially Mary ~ she’ll help you with anything!) My kids really enjoyed the games and balloon launchers.
We went to the Biltmore ……Chimney Rock was nice & great trail on property. Wish we had more time to do more. But most of all, we had time to slow down, spend time with each other & have fun! Thank you Willow Winds!
April 2009 Willow Winds Exceeded our expectation! The first observation was the fantastic customer service. Next was the clean, spacious cabin with a great view. And finally the landscaping was fantastic for a rustic cabin resort.
Our family had a blast fishing trout from the pond, playing chess, bocce ball and the arcade games. Dad dominated the kids on the badminton court. Maybe slaughtered would be a better description. We had a great time!

Feb 2009 Today is our check out date and how we dread to go home. This place was a much needed vacation! My husband I reconnected so much while we were here. We walked around, enjoyed the hot tub and most of all spent quality time together.
This place has an inviting and exciting spirit and we can’t wait to come back….The views are amazing and we appreciate all the hospitality we received.
Again Thank You and our friends also came to visit because we bragged so much and we got to enjoy this Birthday weekend of bliss with them too. We all are coming back. See you Soon!
Feb. 2009 We were so luck to be invited to this beautiful place. We can thank our daughter and Jean for a wonderful weekend. The fireplace was the best! We had lots of fun and laughter.

Jan 2009 After a hectic holiday season our family decided to head to the mountains for some much needed R&R. Upon making a reservation, your staff was very friend and helpful. When we arrived, we felt instant peace. The cabins are beautiful and comfortable. The fireplaces were great! I only wish we would have had more time here. Tubing down the slopes was a blast! The waterfalls were spectacular. My daughters enjoyed seeing snow for the first time. My husband enjoyed the hot tub. We will definitely come back to Willow Winds!
Jan 2009 We had a wonderful time ~ will be back again! We were hoping for snow but just missed it. Gretchen & Mike
