The Willow was built in 1820 as a private residence for George Mallette and his family. In the nearly two centuries since, it has changed owners — and operations — many times over, serving as a general store, a headquarters for François Xavier Desjardins in La Guerre des Patriotes in 1837 and, more recently, a pub, dining room, and inn.

A number of families in Hudson have been the Auberge Willow Inn’s stewards through the years. Though it burned to the ground in 1989, it was rebuilt in a similar style soon after. Though fire couldn’t stop the Willow Inn, it eventually closed in the fall of 2016. Fortunately, a year later in 2017, Montrealers Patricia Wenzel and David Ades purchased the property and are giving it back its glory.
