Check in and never want to leave.

I am really reserved about giving Saucy Willow a review it deserves. My reason is purely selfish……….. I really don’t want people to know about this hidden gem. We did a last minute booking unfortunately only one night I wish it could have been longer. Every aspect of the stay was fantastic. The property the room the surrounding and most importantly the people. You could not have asked for a friendlier lot. We were made to feel welcome and like we were long time friends popping in to visit. It was such a nice experience. Thank you.

Charming getaway and lovely hosts. Relaxing location. Amazing room. One negative, Their main property says adults only. But cottages also on property had kids. Love kids but was looking forward to a quiet place with no kids running around. The adults only reason was was why we selected it. And laid that fee. It was disappointing to experience the noise when we were just looking to relax.

We had a fantastic stay at this cozy inn! The lake view from our room was breathtaking, and the serene, quiet atmosphere made it the perfect getaway. We loved the fire pit by the lake and enjoyed the delicious breakfast. Kayaking on the lake was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing escape!

This is a remarkable step back in time to a beautifully renovated inn. Styph and David are the ultimate hosts making you feel so relaxed to wander thier lakeside property. We spent hours enjoying the conversation with them and the other guests at delicious healthy breakfast. I would recommend this unique property to anyone.

Stephanie and Dave are wonderrful hosts who should be commended for turning a heritage inn into a truly magnificent B and B. Their attention to detail from their choice of antiques to their mouth watering freshly made scones for breakfast made our stay a special treat!

We found The Saucy Willow to be very nice and clean property. Stephanie and David ( our host) were super nice and very helpful in every which way. Freshly baked scones, season fruits, eggs and toast with variety of jams for breakfast were tasty and filling. Thank you for making our stay so so memorable!
