A very special place

The home and property are lovely. Beautiful area, comfy bed, nice well-appointed kitchen. Got in the lake almost every day. The paddle boat and kayaks were a treat. Great hikes nearby. Loved soaking in the bathtub. Feeling very fortunate we got to stay here, and hope to do so again.

Family vacation at Willows on Watson

Perfect lake house for enjoying nature. Close to the hiking trails, great for fishing or having fun on the chain of lakes, or just relaxing on the deck watching the swans and beautiful views of the canal and lake. House had everything we needed to be comfortable during our stay with kids and dogs, very spacious and clean!

Sister getaway

My sisters and I had such a nice relaxing time here. The house was very clean and we enjoyed the open floorplan. We took out the kayaks multiple times and had so much fun exploreimg the water right outside the property. The lake is beautiful and full of nature. We also adventured out to some nearby beaches that provided nice places to swim, picnic and hike. We would definitely come back :)

Great weekend getaway!

We had a great weekend getaway took my son, brother, nephew and my childhood best friends. The place was as described, clean, well stocked - the owners thought of everything. We were right on the water and had easy access to use the kayaks and paddle boards. We also rented the pontoon boat so we were able to cruise around the water. Great fishing, great company and great memories. Would definitely recommend and would definitely rebook. Thanks for everything!
