Hollywood Manor at Tenhulzen Reserve
Woodinville’s Journey to a Premier Tourist Destination
Tourism fuels the economy for thousands of cities and attractions around the world. Creative destination planning turns small towns into must-visit locations. By blending climate, recreation, entertainment, and unique charm, communities create experiences visitors remember and return for.
Woodinville followed that same path. In the early 2010s, city leaders envisioned a wine-centric Hollywood Tourist District built
around Chateau Ste. Michelle, Columbia Winery, Red Hook Brewery. A few entrepreneurial winemakers soon joined, helping shape the town’s vibrant identity.
As Woodinville continues its transformation into a premier tourist destination, one major challenge remains—accommodations. Without enough short-term lodging, many visitors cut their trips short. After a full day of wine tasting, tourists often drive to nearby cities, raising safety and convenience concerns.
To enhance the visitor experience, more hotels and residential rentals are essential. Expanding lodging capacity would not only support tourism but also benefit Woodinville’s many events, business retreats, and wedding venues.
Evolution of Hospitality
From Willows Lodge to Hampton Inn & Suites, and the Anticipated Luxe Experience at The Somm in 2025
Willows Lodge emerged in late 2000 destined to provide inspiration, entertainment and relaxation with up to 84 guest rooms. Its ambiance is said to encompass the very essence of the Woodinville guest experience. Nearly 2 decades later, Hampton Inn & Suites’ 102 guest rooms became the City’s 2nd hotel. By 2025, The Somm is expected to be a luxury hotel with 165 guest rooms on the
Harvest development. Residential homes are a growing opportunity for transient stays as well. Travelers keen on either the Bed & Breakfast experience or vacation rental, have a growing number to choose from.
The Vision Behind Hollywood Manor at Tenhulzen Reserve
Longtime Sammamish Valley residents Michael and Traci Tenhulzen have watched Woodinville’s growth with pride. They understood its potential as both a community and a destination. When searching for their home in 2003, they looked for four key features: move-in readiness, city utilities, no HOA, and proximity to schools.
As the city grew, so did their vision. After years of local involvement, they decided to invest in Woodinville’s future. In 2019, they found a property that was visible, walkable, and ideal for development. Within days of their offer, 20 backup offers confirmed they had discovered something special.
The property, once home to the beloved “Pink Tractor” repair shop, carried deep local history. Through careful planning and three years of design, Michael and Traci transformed the site into a residential masterpiece. On September 13, in honor of Michael’s mother’s birthday, construction officially began.
After 15 months of dedication and design excellence, hollywood-manor-at-tenhulzen-reserve was complete—a stunning 5,400-square-foot, three-story addition to a classic rambler. This transformation turned a rural parcel into a modern landmark that embodies Woodinville’s spirit of creativity, craftsmanship, and community.
