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.

Wonderful stay, beautiful property, and gracious hosts. Had an amazing time at the Inn as it's right by the water and is a recommended place to get away from the city and stay in this charming small town.

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!

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 plan to return and recommend the Saucy Inn to our friends.

Amazing B&B, and very friendly innkeepers.

From the pleasant greeting by the innkeeper Stephanie followed by delightful conversations with both her and Dave, to the beautifully decorated room and inn, to the perfect setting and finally to the the delicious breakfast, everything was perfect. The century old home has been totally renovated while keeping the charm...Beautiful Reno. Congrats.

Just a lovely place to stay. I was in the area for work but I'd love to return for vacation. Wonderful hosts, suberb room, breakfast, and attention to detail. Right on the lake. I worked on the 2nd level veranda on a gorgeous cool spring evening. I'll be back! Thank-you, thank-you!

Stephanie and Dave welcomed my daughter and I with such warmth inspite of us arriving late (10pm). Even with its full accommodation, it was very serene. Everyone was enjoying the kayaking and swimming. AND BREAKFAST WAS AWESOME!!! Fresh scones every morning! Many thanks. From Elizabeth & Lexie of Naples Florida.
