My wife and I were looking for a place to stay while we were picking our daughter up from camp. Our only regret is that we didn't book it for a week! Stephanie and David do an incredible job of customer service and thoughtfulness at their Inn. The rooms are beautiful with comfortable mattresses and pillows along with top quality linens. The property has paddle boards, pedal boats, and kayaks available for you to take out along with life jackets. There are Adirondack chairs by the water and multiple places to have a fire. We are planning our trip already for next year when we take our kids back to camp. Highly recommend!

Beautiful property!
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.

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.

They deserve an 11 out of 1 to 10
My wife stayed here for two nights, it was our first time staying with Dave and Stephanie. We picked this place initially because of the 10 rating and the comments. We were extremely impressed and will be back. Our stay started with a tour by Trevor who has done the renovations to this old home and he has done an incredible job. We enjoyed the paddle boats, the water front, the night time fires, the breakfast and particularly the way Dave and Stephanie make you feel as welcomed guests. I should also mention they also have cottages, complementary canoes and kayaks and just down the street you can rent a boat or jet ski. We definitely look forward to returning.

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!

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!

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!

Beautiful spot to get away. 11/10! From the moment we stepped foot on the property until we left it was more then what we could ever ask for. Very welcoming and clean. Everything is very well maintained and thought-out to satisfy their guests to the fullest. Beautiful property inside and out would highly highly recommend. We will definitely be coming back in the near future. Thank you Stephanie and Dave.
