The house was absolutely beautiful, the owners were very friendly my wife can't get enough of their scones as she brought a bunch home. Our room was very cozy. Lots of things to do at the inn, and the grounds were immaculate. We loved being right on the lake.
First visit and very impressed. Beautiful Inn, the rooms were spacious and well decorated. The fresh scones in the morning were a treat. Will be back soon
We had a lovely stay at the Saucy Willow Inn. The property is extremely well maintained and the beds are very comfy too. We enjoyed spending some relaxing time by the lake and making use of the kayaks and lakefront chairs. The owners provided recommendations for dinner and the included breakfast was yummy too. Looking forward to visiting again soon!
Incredible stay. Even with 6 rooms in the house, you still could find alone time with all the different areas. Well kept, the most caring and friendly staff and a beautiful lakeside view. Nothing could have been better.
We had a fantastic four-night stay at Saucy Willow Inn & Cottages. It’s a truly special place that makes you feel as though you’ve come home. The delicious daily breakfasts and comfortable accommodations made for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We loved every minute of our visit and highly recommend Saucy Willow Inn & Cottages to anyone looking for a memorable getaway in the area.
Dave and Stephanie are wonderful hosts. The Saucy Willow exceeded all our expectations. Their continental breakfast was an unexpected pleasure with freshly baked scones, and other yummy healthy options. The food was freshly prepared each morning by their lovely and welcoming staff.
Rooms are clean, quiet and super comfortable.
There is a lot of space to unwind and feel at ease from the calm lake waters and the beautiful grounds
Wow, what a stay.
Dave, Stephanie and the Saucy Willow staff were absolutely wonderful. The room with its historic charm was spacious and comfortable, the many amenities ensured we were never short of fun things to do and the breakfast was divine.
Would highly recommend accordingly!
Stephanie and Dave are amazing hosts! They are friendly and helpful.
They have done amazing things with the property.
We will definitely be back again!
We had a wonderful stay at The Saucy Willow! This beautiful inn is charming, comfortable, and impeccably maintained. Stephanie and Dave were incredibly gracious hosts who have done an outstanding job transforming the property into a truly special place. Their attention to detail and warm hospitality made our stay unforgettable. We highly recommend The Saucy Willow and look forward to returning! PS Meeting Maria and Bill next door was a treat too :)
Saucy Willow is off the beaten track and an impressive find. None of us know when booking online from pictures and others giving their reviews what a place will actually be like. We were not disappointed in the least. Immaculate, pristine and peaceful are just 3 adjectives I can use to describe the Saucy Willow. Dave is the owner, he was sure to make time for us as each morning as he prepared for the Continental Breakfast. And btw, extraordinary!
If you need a getaway to the Kawartha’s, visit the Saucy Willow.
You will be very glad you did.
We had a wonderful stay at the Saucy Willow Inn! Our room was very clean and comfortable with a view of the lake. Our hosts Stephanie and Dave have restored this beautiful property making sure to keep it period correct as much as possible. We would highly recommend a stay here at Saucy Willow and would definitely be back!
We stayed for 3 days and had a lovely time. The staff were wonderful. The room was clean, tidy and fresh. The "Continental Breakfast" was way better than any continental breakfast we've ever had. The scones were delicious and I got the recipe from Fiona. The owner and caretaker were always around to answer questions and tell us about the building and it's history. Having the lake right in front with lots of room to sit by the fire, and lounge. The beach was pretty and convenient. The amenities were excellent, with canoes, kayaks and paddle boards for all to use. It was very cozy and very well maintained and you could see the pride of the owners all over the place with so much attention to detail and the customer in mind. We felt so welcomed and at home. We received a really nice card and bottle of champagne as we were celebrating our 25 year marriage anniversary. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to the new spaces being created by the owners. We highly recommend this place and will likely visit again next year.
Very occasionally you come across a special place that will stay with you forever. Saucy Willow is that. Beautiful setting and gardens, house that is tastefully and lovingly renovated. The rooms are great, super comfy beds, powerful shower, fridge. Breakfast was plentiful and filled us up (thanks Dave for packaging scones for us to take away).
All the small touches show the care that Stephanie and Dave have for their guests - a fire by the river in the evening, beach towels for after swimming, ear plugs for light sleepers (the only noise is that of the countryside), a game of scrabble in the lounge.
We cannot recommend the Saucy Willow enough - we will be back.
Our stay was just great! Stephanie and Dave are exceptional hosts!
The Inn is a very nice place with lots of lovely details!
The breakfast is excellent!
The staff and property owners were very friendly and helpful. The place was well maintained and it was peaceful and relaxing. I enjoy my stay there and would go again in the future.
We had an amazing stay at Saucy Willow for an annual family gathering. Stephanie and Dave are wonderful hosts and have thought of every detail. I would highly recommend this as a place to escape the city, take in the beautiful, peaceful surroundings and enjoy some R&R.
I honestly don’t even know where to begin because I am absolutely in LOVE with Saucy Willow Inn. From the moment I arrived, I was completely captivated by how beautiful this property is. It is one of those rare places that feels even more special and magical in person than you could ever imagine from photos.
The property itself is breathtaking. The surrounding nature is so peaceful, lush, and beautiful, and there is something incredibly calming about being surrounded by so much greenery and natural beauty. It feels like a true escape from everyday life. You can slow down, breathe, relax, and really appreciate your surroundings. Every part of the property has its own charm, and I found myself wanting to explore and take everything in.
And then there is the house… absolutely STUNNING. Every single detail of the decor feels intentional, unique, and thoughtfully chosen. There is so much personality throughout the entire space. From the furniture and artwork to the little decorative touches, every room has something that catches your eye. It doesn’t feel generic or like a typical rental at all. It feels curated, artistic, warm, and incredibly personal.
I am genuinely obsessed and cannot recommend Saucy Willow Inn enough. Absolutely beautiful, peaceful, unique, and full of character. I already can’t wait to come back! ✨🤍.
