NOTICE DUE TO CONDITIONS BEYOND OUR CONTROL. WE ARE NOT RECEIVING GUESTS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. WE ARE SORRY BUT IT HAS BECOME UNAVOIDABLE TO STAY OPEN DURING THESE TRYING TIMES. EXPERIENCE A Willow Creek Ranch Farmstay in Mountain Ranch, California USA is a "Back in Grandma's Day Farm" and is an affordable vacation for family, their children and extended family. We offer you an "old fashioned nostalgic experience". Come get your hands dirty! Help mend a fence, shovel manure, work in the garden, gather eggs from the hen house, help feed hay to the cows, and make soap or swim in the small above ground pool. You can bring a towel or dish towel and we will help you make an embroidered keepsake from your visit. .
When we have a "fresh cow" our milk and butter come from our own cows. You can help to milk a cow or bottle feed a calf, make butter, and learn how to make cheese. During Harvest Season, learn how to "preserve" (can or freeze) vegetables grown right here at Willow Creek Ranch for Winter Use. Hang your clothes in the warm sunshine on an old fashioned "Solar" clothesline.
Activities are seasonal and change with farm activities as they occur. You will be able to get up close and personal with the animals as they are pets and expect love and respect. "NEW" optional "MOVIE UNDER THE STARS" We have just completed our outdoor theater. Watch our Vintage Family movies or bring your own movies. Our projector accepts 3-D, BlueRay, and regular DVD movies. In Cold weather we have blankets and an outdoor fireplace to warm your toes while watching your movie.

About the host
Hosted by John or Cathie Orr

John, retired Computer Engineer, retired from Hewlett Packard. Currently works for Local Jackson Walmart. Cathie, retired, wife of John, makes butter, cheese, quilts, crochets, plays violin and cooks. Both are Christians. John and Cathie met at Bella Vista High School in 1964, Fair Oaks California. Both were born in California. Cathie lived for a time in Bauxite Arkansas. John is a Viet Nam Veteran. We are grandparents of 6 grandchildren. John grew up in Fair Oaks CA and Cathie grew up in Orangevale CA. We both love animals and Country living so here we are. We love it so much we wanted to share the experience so here you are. Welcome.
Why they chose this property
This property is much like our grandmother's and John's grandparents and parents had back in the 1940's. with trees, two seasonal creeks, birds stars at night and the cows and chickens crowing and mooing. We like to grow our own food and be as sustainable as possible. Eating and preparing home grown food is much healthier and tastes much better too. The fresh air has really reduced our allergy problems that we had in the city and you can't beat hearing the birds chirp when you first poke your head outside in the morning. We love it here. *Note* 2016 did not get a garden due to the devastation the 7th worst wildfire California has ever had "The Butte Fire". The fire destroyed homes and properties surrounding us and 37 of our acres. Our home and business is still in progress of being restored. Except for some debris from repairs you are not able to tell we had any losses. Please bear with us while we recover. Thanks.
What makes this property unique
We have Satelite for WIFI (no streaming, or gaming due to only being able to get limited 15 gb per month signal)and no cell phone coverage so we are able to commune with nature and the technology of today has to take a backseat. However for those who absolutely must keep in touch with work, the WIFI is still available. Its a place where you can bring your children and feel safe about them playing in the front yard away from the city dangers. Please watch us on PBS. go to Americas Heartland , episode 1109
