"Only minutes from the center, the Country Willows is a luxurious B&B in the "countryside" (complete with a few farm animals). The nine rooms and suites sport a mix of antiques and contemporary furniture, and some suites are huge and creatively designed."
"Just outside town and surrounded by 5 acres of rolling hills and pastures, the Country Willows B&B offers the tranquility of a farm only minutes from Ashland's theaters and excellent restaurants. If you're looking for a very special room, consider the Sunrise Suite, which is in a renovated part of the barn behind the main house. It has pine paneling, a high ceiling, a king-size bed, a gas fireplace, and, best of all, an old-fashioned tub for two with its very own picture window and skylight. ... There's a 2-mile hiking trail that starts at the back door. You'll also find a pool and whirlpool on the grounds."
Rated 3 Stars
"Set on 5 acres of farmland seven minutes from downtown, this rebuilt 1896 country home offers peace and quiet and a lovely view of the hills." "The best room is in the barn: the Pine Ridge Suite has a bed/living room with a lodgepole pine king-sized bed, and a bath bigger than most bedrooms."
"If you have your own ideas of what a true country inn should be, chances are you'll find it all here at Country Willows: bucolic setting that has you oohing and aahing while you're still in the driveway, picturesque geese and goats you'll swear are from central casting, and a restored 1890s farmhouse that looks much too innocent to hold all the luxuries it does." "I like the ambiance around here, indoors and out. The innkeepers have the knack of knowing when to leave guests alone or incorporate them into the life of the inn."
