The Willow at Acorn Shores - Hayward

The Willow by Acorn Shores is where s’mores never run out, the coffee’s always strong, and the hot tub has a view of the lake

At The Willow, we believe in easy mornings, unplugged afternoons, and cozy nights by the fire. Whether you're out on the trails, floating on the lake, or curled up in the bunk room for movie night — this is your place to reconnect and relax
