So I was there with the Ecstatic Self retreat and I m in awe!The location alone is amazing! Taking the lovely drive to Willow was amazing. A small village and the house are adorable.Entering into the space we were hit with the most amazing smells (food review to follow) but the rooms and the space were IMPRESSIVE .cozy and warm! They had everything planned, situated and welcomed for us.The rooms were so comfy! The beds were beyond comfy and I had some of the most sleep ever in my life.Now to the food .it was HEAVENLY! He seriously put his heart and soul into his cooking. The meals were so simple but had such complexity that it made me going for thirds and fourths even!!I will definitely be returning to this haven!Rooms: Simple and homey!Safety: The village is small and safe!Food & drinks: Out of this world!!!!!

My friend and I spent some delightful days in Willow. The comfort of the house, the winter scenery, and the hospitality of Ravi and Thom gave us an excellent and complete New England experience.The house is in excellent condition, and the rooms are comfortable, warm, and filled with art. What I liked the most was that our hosts made us feel at home from the very beginning.I hope to return very soon.

From New York here, took the commute to Willow Vermont and absolutely loved every moment of my stay. They went above and beyond to meet me and my partner's needs. We had an amazing view from our room! If you're looking for a getaway from the noisy city, this place is quiet, surrounded by nature and wilderness, with spectacular host. Will definitely come back every year! 10 stars

Shorty but lovely first visit to this spacious, relaxing getaway. Hosts Tom & Ravi are welcoming & accommodating, as are the two cat hosts Bear & Scratch.My friend & I immediately felt at home, stretching out in one of many sofas & armchairs to read, pet the very friendly cats, chat with Ravi & Tom, bask in the heat of the first floor's two wood stoves. (There are extra blankets scattered around to wrap up in if you feel chilled.)The house is bright and airy, filled with beautiful art & furniture that manages elegance without feeling like a museum.Tom & Ravi are committed to the comfort of their guests, including cozy beds, delicious simple breakfast - locally made granola & fresh milk, etc.- and helping guests make the most of the area.Although we were here as individual guests, rather than as part of a retreat, & during quieter weekdays, we felt well cared for.This is the couple's 2nd year making this place their own. We're looking forward to watching this place grow. I'm looking forward to experiencing Tom's yoga & meditation teaching (which I didn't this visit), and to tasting Ravi's food, which he make the 2nd Saturday of each month & which you can pre-order for takeout! :-)Notes:- some of the photos in the Google listing are from the retreat's previous incarnation, which offered large, full breakfasts. Willow provides lighter fare.- dress for the season, and bring layers. While the wood stoves and radiators are lovely, it is a large New England house, so you may sometimes feel cold despite all that.- If you like hiking, make sure to bring proper footwear / outerwear, to stay dry & comfortable in case of bad weather.- If you like to read, write, play piano (there's one here), knit....bring that too. Very relaxing to hang out all day for that.

I had the most amazing experience at Willow, hosted by Tom and Ravi. The serene environment provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The homemade Indian cuisine from Ravi was a delightful treat for the taste buds, and the morning yoga sessions by Tom set the tone for a peaceful and rejuvenating day ahead. The welcoming atmosphere created by Tom and Ravi made me feel like a cherished guest from the moment I arrived. If you re able to book the treehouse, I highly recommend that - it s gorgeous and is the perfect place for a lover s retreat. The main house is lovely as well and each room has its own personal bathroom, which is a huge plus! If you're looking for a lovely getaway, I wholeheartedly encourage you to visit Willow for an unforgettable experience.

I had a wonderful stay with Tom and Ravi, and everything was even better than described. They were both such welcoming and responsive hosts and were respectful of privacy but very friendly any time we crossed paths. The space was extremely peaceful and in such a beautiful location. The house was easy to find, and check-in went smooth. The room was extremely clean and had a very calming energy. I would definitely recommend staying in this, or any of the rooms in their beautiful home. Wonderful hosts, idyllic atmosphere, and an overall very very positive experience. I would highly recommend!!

We stayed at the Treehouse and it was absolutely magical! One of the nicest stays we have ever been to, especially during the fall season.Ginger was the absolute sweetest, and extremely accommodating. Her delicious baked goods were the cherry on top of our trip! And those views can t be beat either :-)Highly recommended for a lovely rustic trip to relax, unwind, and disconnect.

My husband and I stayed at Willow a couple of times this summer and fall. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. The property is beautiful, well-maintained, and very clean. We enjoyed meeting other guests and sitting on the back porch overlooking the pond. It s a perfect central location for sight-seeing in southern Vermont. We would highly recommend, and I m sure we ll stay there again!

Tom and Ravi are both so sweet and laid back. They immediately make you feel welcome and at home. Meals are delicious and wholesome, and if you like Indian cooking you may be able to persuade Ravi to add a little extra flair! Delicious!They have plenty of parking, a lovely covered porch with seating, a firepit, and gorgeous wooded paths in the forest.If you re lucky enough to book the tree-house room you will be in heaven.Highly recommend a few nights here if your making your way through New England or simply want a stop in southern Vermont.

Willow was a cozy, comfortable place to spend a week in winter. We found it to be a great location to ski Mt Snow, explore the Green Mountains, and visit a variety of historic villages. Tom and Ravi are warm and welcoming hosts. We had a great time chatting with other guests around the big table in the dining room, playing card games in the living room, and doing yoga in the studio. Can t wait to return to Willow and experience a retreat!

To all those coming, I hope you enjoy *big* breakfasts! My partner and I had a wonderful, several day stay here. Ginger was a great host and the food was great. Did I mention the portions were big? Basically everything you'd want to do in the area is within a 20 minute drive from the inn, which was very comfortable. The treehouse looked very nice too - we'll have to stay there next time!

I want to warn anyone coming to this b&b now that it seems to have changed owners. The past glowing reviews are for the former owners who seem to have been incredible at their craft!The new owners are still in the process of setting up this place (which showed by the lack of signage, downstairs lighting..a little eerie arriving at night with no lights, and breakfast). I really want to be sensitive to a budding business, but I was VERY disappointed by the breakfast situation... it was not edible. We could have stayed elsewhere for the same rate and the full Vermont b&b experience. I am hopeful that they will improve as they were considerate of our evening arrival and directions to their location.

We stayed with Thomas and Ravi quite by chance, looking for a place to stay near Brattleboro. It was just what we were looking for. Their inn is outside Brattleboro but close enough to get to town easily. They are on a country road in a beautiful wooded setting. The atmosphere is very comfortable, friendly, and welcoming. The building itself is beautiful- tastefully decorated with wonderful original artwork. Our room was wonderful and very comfortable. The food was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. The hosts go out of their way to make sure their guests are comfortable. I hope to return for another visit when we can.

I stayed for a week this past summer and it couldn t have been a better experience. Tom and Ravi made me feel totally welcome I was teaching at a nearby college and felt as though I had a home away from home. The house is beautiful, clean, charming, and the view looks like a painting so peaceful. I m headed back mid February and can t wait!

What an amazing adventure!! My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was beyond perfect! I booked the treehouse over a year ago after seeing the treehouse masters episode before a flight. I knew right away that this place was for us and it surely didn t disappoint! I love all the little additions they made after the show where you can tell that they worked hard to make your stay truly special. The record player and great collection of records was a nice touch!! The breakfast in the morning was amazing and huge and exactly what I wanted for a classic Vermont experience. I got the omelet and my wife got the waffles and they were both amazing.Also this area of Vermont might be my new favorite place. I live in NH so I have spent a lot of time in the White Mountains so the Green Mountains are an untapped resource for me. Route 5 is an amazing drive along the river through the rolling hills and down the windy roads. There are also so many cool places to stop along the way as you travel through the charming Vermont towns. We had originally planned on driving further away during the day to check out the fan favorites of Vermont that were further North but after driving Route 5 we quickly realized there was a ton to do right in the area and because they aren t fan favorites they weren t overcrowded tourist traps. So much fun!!Covid definitely made the experience a bit strange as it does with all aspect of life but I was very impressed how Treehouse Village Inn handled the pandemic.Thank you for such an amazing stay and we will most certainly be returning for future anniversaries!!

My first B&B, outstanding experience. We stayed in the Birch room and it was perfect. Mike & Ginger were great to be around. They spent time chatting with us on the porch while we enjoyed the wildlife.They told the story about the Treehouse and how it was apart of the TV show Treehouse Masters.I asked about a place to eat and have a cocktail and Steven their son recommended Ricks Tavern. Due to the Corona Virus we ate outside at the picnic tables, the food was great and the drinks were amazing. We also happened to go on open mic night so we had free entertainment.Breakfast the next morning was perfect, exactly what I ordered and how I asked for it to be cooked. I will definitely be going back.

This is a very special home, and your hosts, Ravi and Tom, extraordinary people, gifted with gentleness and high social conscience. It is everything that you could hope for for a safe and holy place to continue your journey of self discovery, and, perhaps, recovery.The rocking chairs on the porch are perfect, and the treehouse is unique and a great place to get to know yourself, and, perhaps, your companion. I have visited twice and hope to visit again really soon. You will be happy that you have chosen to be here.

Willow is such a beautiful and comfortable property to visit in Vermont, just a few hours drive or train ride from New York City. Tom and Raavi are some of the most lovely and welcoming hosts with a passion for art, wellness, and community. My friends and I were so well taken care of. We cannot wait to return!

We spent a spectacular weekend at the Treehouse Inn. It was a beautiful, immaculate Inn with outstanding service, food and a comfortable place to enjoy or Romantic Getaway. The breakfast were scrumptious; we also had dinner Saturday evening and everything was hot and delicious especially the homemade maple cookies Yummo! We stayed in the Birch Room and loved the decor and comfy bed. Our host Steve, Ginger and Mike made the stay so special for us! Without a doubt we will return.

My husband and I eloped there on Jan 17, 2021. The Treehouse is such a magical place and getting married on the deck made the experience all that more magical. Ginger and Mike are amazing hosts, breakfasts cooked by Mike is to die for, Our Wedding dinner and cake were absolutely delicious ( Maple chicken, mashed potatoes, mixed veggies and homemade rolls(Ginger made these) and Ginger made an amazing Carrot Cake with Cream cheese frosting!). We arrived to the amazing Treehouse with a cheese, grapes and pepperoni plate with cracker and a bottle of champagne. Then within a couple hours we had a couples massage in the Treehouse, we were in heaven. We will be return customers for years to come, as long as Mike and Ginger will have us.

This location and the people were outstanding! We really appreciate how welcoming, thoughtful, personable, and helpful the whole family was here... They made us feel like we we're a part of the family. We stayed in the treehouse that was built on Treehouse Masters and it was an amazing experience. Only thing missing was a nice snow flurry during our stay, but that can't be controlled! The breakfast was the best we ever had at any B&B or hotel. We got lucky and stayed around Christmas, which allowed us to snag some homemade cookies that they made. So many great, local recommendations. Truly this is a special location, with a special support system behind it. It shines through everything they do and say to make their guests feel comfortable. We look forward to coming back in the future!

This place is amazing, me and my friends stayed at the Inn and we booked the Treehouse for January and cannot wait to go back! The place is breathtaking, the views, the Rooms are so comforting and are equipped with everything you need! Not to mention the hospitality from Ginger, Steve and Mike. The breakfast you basically can get whatever you want, they will make it and plenty! Looking forward to going back and highly recommended for a relaxing weekend.<br/>Lisa Mallard

We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at the treehouse! It truly is as fantastic as all the reviews state. Ginger,Mike,Steve, and Ashley were wonderful! The Treehouse is private,very clean, and a joy to stay in. What fun to sit on our own wraparound deck and appreciate nature! Our own fire pit by the pond was glorious at night too! Truly a bucket list experience!!
