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.

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 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.

Everything is very well maintained and thought-out to satisfy their guests to the fullest. Beautiful property inside and out would highly highly recommend.

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!

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.

Still in awe!

We have bever stayed in a friendlier, cleaner, more comfortable B&B! This home and surrounding grounds, come with a very interesting history and impeccable attention to detail both inside and outside. Each bedroom is beautiful, confortable and well equipped. There are numerous rooms and porches for guests to enjoy meeting new people or for their own privacy. A pool table adds fun to happy hour, or any time of the day. There are cozy firepits, complete with throw blankets on chilly evenings. Stephanie and Dave are so welcoming and are dedicated to providing a five + star experience for their guests. Breakfasts are fresh, healthy and once again served with the enjoyment of their guests in mind. Best smoothies ever! The homemade scones are incredible. We cannot say enough about this experience. We are seadooers and were thrilled with how easy it was to launch right on their site. Fenelon Falls was a close location through one set of locks. We had a lovely walk in that town along with a great lunch in a local pub. Other guests happily swam at the beach back 'home' or used the water activity equipment provided on site. You do not want to miss out on this beautiful B&B!!! There are cottages on site as well for larger groups!!!

Gorgeous property that I am glad I found. With last minute booking they were SUPER helpful and extraordinarily lovely. The room was great and we were at the back of the house so we had an excellent view of the water and the trees across were already changing colours. I will definitely be back. I cannot express how much I enjoyed my stay because I do not know enough English words haha. 10000000/10
