We purchased this farm in 1998 from the previous farmer who had owned it since 1929. The train line ran right by the gate where the Kota hut now sits and would drop cattle right there to be finished and sold later at the Toronto Stockyards. Our barn was built in 1890 with the old farmhouse located across the creek. Two creeks meet the Grand River on our farm. The bunkie is situated north of the barn and faces Willow creek. During the summer the creek gets quite shallow but there are a couple of pools that work nicely for a float with our river tubes. The river also has a small swimming hole. The bunkie is nestled between 2 hills which creates a natural little valley. Campers can take a walk around the property or use the nearby long walking trail. New this spring, campers will be able to enjoy the firewood sauna, located close to the bunkie and nestled in a private spot near the creek.Welcome to Camp Willowbrook! Our bunkie, The Bighorn is nestled between 2 hills just north of the barn and faces Willow creek. The hills create a perfect little valley, completely private and secluded with only a century old barn to silhouette the landscape. During the summer the creek gets quite shallow but there are a couple of pools that work nicely for a float with our river tubes. The nearby river also has a small swimming hole if you are looking to cool off. You can take a walk around the property or use the nearby long walking trail which can take you right to Grand Valley or all the way to Author if you are adventurous. You can spend a relaxing evening in the sauna, then cool yourself off in the creek or use our soaking trough. Join us for an evening meal or just enjoy the fire in our Kota Hut. You can bike or hike into Grand Valley where there are restaurants, a grocery store, and a liquor store! Only 3-4 kilometers away! Access to hiking trails and Belwood Lake 10-15 minute drive. Luther Marsh is also close by for nature enthusiasts. Orangeville is also about 15-20 minutes away for all of your camping needs! Please bring your own linens!

Country Cabin on the Creek

I loved staying here so much that I know I’ll be back for a longer stay. The hot tub and sauna are so cool and just beside the cabin. My favourite part was meeting Angie’s dogs and horses. the scenery beautiful, and the experience is magical! Thank you Angie and bob

Amazing hosts and experience!

I took my eleven year old granddaughter to this beautiful farm for a one night getaway. Angie and Bob are amazing hosts!! They showed us around the farm and made us such a delicious dinner in the Kotta hut. My granddaughter hasn’t stopped talking about her experiences there. She fell in love with the horses and chickens, and loved the company of their dog who was her best friend during our stay. The dog even went swimming with her in the creek…she loved that. The cabin was lovely and cozy, very well kept and clean. The kitchen area was a lovely spot to sit and hang out especially at night with the little solar lights. We would definitely recommend this place!

Country Cabin on the Creek

A perfect place to rest and relax. The hosts are great, accommodations are well kept, creature comforts are brilliant (loved the shower). The horses love apples and fresh eggs for breakfast are a must.

A special experience

A lot of fun! The Sauna was amazing along with the river. Cabin was a perfect size, had the best sleep of my life there. The Kotta was a very special experience. They showed us around the farm. Love to come back.

Country Cabin on the Creek

A great cozy stay

The cabin was really cozy. There are amazing activities around the area too so we didn’t run out of things to do. Angie and her family were really nice. Thank you for always checking up on us on how we were doing. Angie was kind enough to give us a tour of the place and the animals they raise on the land. We would definitely return sometimes in the future. Lastly, thank you for the strawberry jam! We really appreciate it!
