About
The wooden building of Willow Springs Way Station with its “western-style” decorated rooms, is an intimate, warm B & B. Embedded in the triangle Houffalize (7 kms) – Vielsalm (17 kms) – Grand-Duchy of Luxemburg (17 kms), Willow Springs is the ideal starting point for an exploration of the Hautes Ardennes. The B & B is located in the Deux Ourthes Natural Park and is at only a 20 kms drive from historically very important Bastogne or at 30 kms drive from picturesque La-Roche-en-Ardennes and its wildlife park. Conceived as a wooden dwelling, our B & B tries to copy as closely as possible the daily life in an American way station of 1860. The 5 rooms (all named in honor of historical ranches) at Willow Springs Way Station, however, are adapted to “modern times” with free WIFI, cable TV, extra long beds, clothing rack, table and a private bathroom with shower; two of the rooms can house 4 guests. In the “living room” underneath the bedrooms, we serve our daily (7/7) continental breakfast (included in the price). Just like in “real” way stations some 150 years ago, the “living room” also serves as “bar / restaurant” (except on Mondays and Tuesdays) where we serve our traditional, but “western flavored” meals (from sandwiches to satehs). The same room turns into a “lounge” every Thursday evening at 20 hrs, when the line dance course begins. Every second Saturday evening of the month, between 20hrs and 0.30 hrs, the living room turns into a “dance-hall”, when a C & W artist gives a live performance. Yours pets are more than welcome against a small compensation. Guests can also bring along their own horse; it can be housed in the on-site stables or meadows. Visitors can also opt for a guided tour with one of our horses or can chose to make a carriage or covered wagon ride. Moutainbikers and motorfreaks can safely leave their “iron horse” in one of our closed sheds under video surveillance. Willow Springs Way Station has a very spacious terrace, which allows us to organize on demand barbecues and cowboy games; the ideal stopping for families and groups.
