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

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!

Country Cabin on the Creek

Perfect little family getaway

My boys and I loved our stay at Angie's farm! The bunkie is perfect - comfortable, cool during the day, and cozy at night with our sleeping bags and the blankets Angie has thoughtfully left out for guests. The outdoor kitchen is well equipped with just about anything you would need and so pretty at night with the solar lights. The river nearby was perfect for the kids (mine are 8 and 3). We caught endless minnows, crayfish and frogs - bring nets and water shoes! They also loved playing with the dogs and frequent visits with the horses munching grass along the river all day - magical. Angie, Bob and her brother Shane were great hosts showing us around the farm and sharing their knowledge of the animals and farm life. Definitely grab a dozen fresh eggs from the hens! We had a lovely night with a fire in the Kota as well and can't wait to try some of the other add-ons like the sauna. I could go on and on but you'll just have to experience it for yourself. We will definitely be back to this private little oasis barely an hour outside the GTA. Thank you Angie and fam for a wonderful weekend 💕

Country Cabin on the Creek

Lovely getaway close to home

I rented this little cabin to get some writing and reading done, as well as, have a little escape from the city. It’s such a lovely property with lots of nature around. It did get chilly at night - so definitely grab some of the firewood for sale, or, bring a sleeping bag. Angie was also very friendly and the dogs were as well :)

Amazing!

Very welcoming and cozy little cabin! My friends and I booked this hipcamp for Trout opener 2024. Angie, her brother, and the dogs were amazing hosts and the property was beautiful! Lot’s of land to roam around and animals to admire at their farm. The cabin had all the appliances we needed and Angie made sure that my friends and I were all set for the weekend. Communication was excellent, my friends and I will 100% come back
