Quiet setting at a beautiful winery away from the commercial bustle of the beachfront, but just a short drive to the beaches. Winery has a nice restaurant a short walk from the apartment.

Visited the Willow Creek cottages for a short stay. The accommodations were especially clean and comfortable. The directions were easy to follow and the food at the restaurant was delicious. We will be returning soon.

My stay was too short

The cottage is lovely and the grounds are outstanding. I just wish I had been able to stay long. Merlot cottage has a drip coffee maker AND a Keurig—I wish I had know about the latter before the trip, a I would have brought my own K-cups.

Great stay

We had a wonderful weekend visiting the property. It was an ideal location if you’re wanting to be a bit off the beaten path. We loved being so close to the winery yet just a short distance from town, shops and the beach. We had a great time visiting Cape May and look forward to our next trip.

Anniversary Getaway

Celebrated our 30th anniversary here at the vineyard. Great location being on the property and knowing we would be spending the evening at Willow Creek with wine, dinner and live music. Just a bike ride away from Sunset Beach, Cape May Lighthouse and downtown Cape May. Highly Recommended!

Ants & Blown Fuse

The Merlot cottage is very nice, and clean, however, there should be a warning on VRBO about the ant problem before booking. When you check-in you are given instructions about keeping food in the refrigerator because of ants. Ants were in the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. The AC in the living room blew a fuse every 20 minutes and we were instructed how to reset the fuse outside. We followed the instructions and still blew a fuse. Thankfully it was not hot and he AC in the bedroom worked great. There were dirty dish towels left in the washer and a very dirty sponge in the kitchen which we threw away. We had to wash the towels since we were only provided 1 towel for each person and we stayed 2 nights. Management did respond to our concerns promptly. The Winery was very nice and so was the winery staff and the grounds are beautiful.

Nice quiet getaway

Had a nice quiet weekend at the cottage. Had a nice tapas dinner at the winery and a great breakfast at the farm down the road. Would stay again.
