Willow Creek is a town in the American state of Virginia, about 15 miles outside of Washington, D.C., where Bonnie Bryant's novels in The Saddle Club, Pony Tails, and Pine Hollow book series are set. Main characters Lisa Atwood, Carole Hanson, and Stephanie "Stevie" Lake all live in Willow Creek and ride at Pine Hollow Stables. A television show and movie called The Saddle Club, filmed in Australia, were later based on The Saddle Club books.
