"Everything was just as advertised, very clean with everything we needed. Printed list for everything we needed. Including restaurant recommendation which was spot on."
"I'll be honest Willow House is part of why I committed to this trip. I saw it online and thought, this alone is worth going. And I say that as someone who has been burned by listings that oversell and underdeliver.
Willow House is the opposite. The photos do not do it justice. The decor, the style, the way everything fits the landscape. It's minimal desert architecture done exactly right. Not only was the design thought out and intentional, but they clearly thought through the entire experience from start to finish for their guests.
The rooms were pristine. The whole place was immaculate. And the practical side matched the aesthetic. The kitchen was fully equipped with pots, pans, utensils, everything you'd need to actually cook. Plus the basics: spice rack, oils, all of it. You just brought groceries and you were set. There was a designated wine bar with fridge and coffee bar. They provided coffee pods and beans for their machines. Someone actually thought about what it feels like to stay there, not just what it looks like in photos.
The setting alone was incredible. You can see Big Bend National Park and Santa Elena Canyon in the distance.
I will absolutely be back. One of the best stays I've ever had."
"This rental is five minutes from the Big Bend park entrance, which was great for us given that the park itself is gigantic. The host was extremely quick to get back to us on questions that we had as first time RV renters."
"The cabin is very nice and modern. Had just enough space for the three of us. The living space has a great window wall for nighttime gazing. Location is close to ghost town and the park. Would stay here again."
