The Willowicke Inn (formerly Topliff's Tara Bed & Breakfast) — Hotel in Wheatfield Township

Willowicke Inn was a very cool family experience. The owners, Sooney and Mike, managed, coordinated, and prepared multiple factors that made our family event pure joy. The Willowicke property is gorgeous; stunning gardens, picturesque barns, fields and forest to explore. The Inn was exceedingly comfortable [(e.g., high quality mattresses, large bathrooms (ours had a skylight)], clean (spotless glasses and stemware, unique granite countertops, tidy fridge), well-appointed (e.g., games, movies, books) with pleasing to the eye interior decor which gave the Inn an upscale feel (like “oh, this is a nice place”). We used all 5 guest bedrooms rooms the first night and 4 rooms our second night. The guest half of the large farmhouse feels separate from the proprietors living area, so we had an abundance of privacy, yet Sooney and Mike were readily accessible when we wanted. We hiked the trails, were introduced to the resident llamas & donkeys, swam in the pool, worked out on the indoors pickleball court, soothed muscles in the hot tub, watched the sunset by the bonfire pit, and enjoyed cocktails and tunes on the deck. Sounds great, right? And it was, but those activities were rivaled by Sooney’s culinary skill! Sooney coordinated with our son ahead of time to create a menu for one wildly memorable dinner (fettuccine Alfredo, chicken piccata, roasted root vegetables, caprese garlic bread, cannolis and lemon bars). Plus, two nights, so two breakfasts each offered a wide variety of tastiness. Warning: breakfasts at Willowick Inn are large. Every meal featured fresh foods creatively prepared and delicious. At our advance request, Sooney served a massive charcuterie board poolside. Almost forgot… and arranged for a photographer who worked with us to capture a couple special moments. Our hosts were enthusiastic to offer assistance, available, and pleasant to interact with. ...

We could not have asked for anything more..everything was perfect.... it was a dream come true. The Inn, service, and beautiful grounds will not disappoint.|||| The inn is so charming. This is a top-notch 5+ star facility and Sooney (owner) is a fantastic cook. We had terrific daily brunches from sour cream pancakes with their own homemade syrup. Homemade yogurt parfaits to Bananas Foster French Toast to homemade vegetable quiche right out of the garden to a magnificent four-cheese quiche. An out-of-this-world fabulous charcuterie board from dark chocolates to fresh fruits, homemade dips and homemade breads/crackers to the meats, and homemade preserves, so many options to choose from. The best presentation I have ever seen nationally. Then the best homemade Lasagna, like grandma would make. Homemade brownies and cakes to die for.|||| The owners- Mike and Sooney, had the best southern charm and hospitality at its most pleasing the Michigander way. All was wonderful—every last-minute request was taken care of with promptness, courtesy, and with ease. Thank you for making beautiful memories for us all...Our son’s college graduation events could not have been any better! You guys rocked it. The memories we are leaving with will last us a lifetime and more. ||||We so appreciate Llama's experience, Mike. The llamas were the icing on the cake 😀🙌. The kids so enjoyed it as well. The hot tub was a bonus helping us to relax after a busy day. We are leaving blessed and honored to have met you...
