Weekend Trip to Willenborg Woods

Our entire weekend was made better not only because of the gorgeous and expansive property but also because of the incredibly helpful and friendly hosts! The trail system here is upkept very well and is easy to navigate with minimal effort. The property has a little bit of everything (creeks, hills, forest, etc.) and a weekend wasn’t nearly enough to see it all. Waking up to hot coffee and fresh eggs outside the cabin was an unexpected delight! We came for a calm, peaceful weekend and that is what we got. We will be coming back one day and you should too!

Weekend Trip to Willenborg Woods

This place is amazing! I have zero complaints! We had everything we needed and more, all in the middle of secluded woods. We stayed in the teardrop trailer and loved the comfort of kitchen, fridge, shower, bathroom, AC, etc. the beds were comfy and so many included supplies. Farm fresh eggs, bread, and coffee were delivered each morning. The hosts Becca and Craig are incredible people who really care about you and your experience. They were so responsive, kind and helpful. They delivered xtra firewood and even gave us a ride down to the river and to see the riverfront A frame rental, which I definitely want to rent next time. The grounds were well kept, with bathrooms available and an outdoor shower for those not staying in the teardrop trailer to still have a bathroom and shower. Subtle touches like flowers planted, picnic tables, stacked rocks, tiki torches, and more made it feel xtra special and inviting. We loved the chickens roaming the property and coming to visit. Becca the host is a rockstar! Such an amazing person with so much life experience, humble, minimalist, accepting and full of positive energy. I can’t wait to come back!

Relax on the deck overlooking the Embarras River.

Weekend Trip to Willenborg Woods

Becca and Craig were the most amazing hosts. When we were dropped off at our site, it felt like making new friends. We had such a wonderful stay at the A-Frame! The setting was peaceful and private, with beautiful river access just steps away. Our hosts were incredibly gracious and thoughtful, even arranging a kayak ride on the river that became a highlight (despite low water levels) of our trip. Breakfast each morning was a perfect touch and made us feel so welcomed. At night, we fell asleep to the calming sounds of nature all around us—a truly relaxing experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the outdoors with the comfort of warm hospitality. When we left on Sunday, it was like visiting old friends. This site has everything you can want. Additionally, in our excitement to continue chatting with Becca as we were leaving, we left quite a few things behind! She was SO generous enough to mail it (washed and folded) back to us. We will definitely be visiting again soon.

2 nights at Willenborg Woods

We had the best time camping at this hidden little gem! My sons are bmx riders who have taken up mountain biking. The location had tons of trails for us to explore. The host was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The camper was the perfect size for us and included everything we needed like linens, dishes, fridge, gas stove, sink, toilet, AC, two beds, television. Would definitely book it again in the future. Thank you Rebecca for the great weekend!

Weekend Trip to Willenborg Woods

My husband & I live in the city & wanted a peaceful weekend in the woods. The A Frame cabin was super cute & clean. Its placed along a river. We enjoyed watching the water turtles, giant birds & even saw a baby deer. We spent the afternoon walking the trails with our 3 dogs & watching the moon & stars with our telescope at night. The host was very nice & provided firewood & water. The cabin has an outhouse but its also very clean.

Weekend Trip to Willenborg Woods

From the moment we arrived it was clear that we were in for something special. Nestled among towering trees and serenaded by the gentle hum of nature. This camping trip was everything we had hoped for and more. The camp site was impeccably, maintain and spacious with stunning views of the river and surrounding forest. We loved the morning gift basket, full of eggs, warm bread, and coffee made the start of our day even more spectacular. This camping trip allowed us to unplug recharge and connect with nature and with each other. Whether you are a seasoned camper or trying it out for the first time I couldn’t recommend this place enough. We will definitely come back in the fall season!
