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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
