老紳士客棧和小屋(The Saucy Willow Inn and Cottages)

Stephanie and Dave were great host. The place is really cozy and right by the river. They have a sauna which is a nice addition. The breakfast was unique which we enjoyed and Stephanie makes some really good scones. Overall it was pleasant stay and both Stephanie and Dave did a good job hosting.

We have visited « The Saucy » several times, both in high summer and depths of snowy winter. No matter the season, Steph and Dave are exceptional inn keepers - full of unflagging energy and genuine, welcoming charm and hospitality. Nothing is too much trouble and they are constantly upgrading what they offer, whether it’s a charcuterie board style breakfast (inn stays only) to home made scones and jam, installation of a sauna by the lake, or offering bespoke events such as the Victorian Afternoon Tea. The location with its pristine shoreline is picturesque in both sun and snow; there is a « backyard » skating rink in the winter months and kayaks and other water craft for use off one of several docks in summer. No expense has been spared - and great vision has been applied - to sympathetically restoring what was only several years ago a faded old Victorian lady to resplendent new glory - including exceptionally comfortable king sized beds, and all new bathrooms. Arrive as a guest and leave as a friend! A testament to their vision and hospitality is surely the number of repeat bookings at The Saucy.

Stephanie and Dave were the most gracious hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Breakfast in the morning was delightful. Very personable people who are very easy to talk to. Loved our stay and it made our special day even more special.

This was our family's second stay at the Saucy Willow and we love it! Last year we were fortunate to be able to book four nights as there had been a cancellation, and this year we stayed for six, again booking a cottage. Clean, cozy, had everything we needed, and like all the cottages and the inn, a lovely view. Steph and Dave are wonderful hosts and are very attentive to their guests needs. In our opinion, one of the best locations in the Kawarthas. Some days we stayed around the property, relaxed and took advantage of the amenities, and other days we explored small communities located short drives away. We very much look forward to coming back!

By the time Steph had finished the initial orientation/tour, we felt as though we were visiting old friends at their really cool place in cottage country - and by the time we left, we felt that even more so. Now Steph's scones have become the gold standard against which all future scones will be measured. Beautiful location, easy to find, plenty of things to do (or not) on the property or within easy driving or cycling distance, and Steph and Dave's hospitality made The Saucy Willow one of the highlights of our trip. We'll be back!

On arrival we were amazed at the beauty of this historical lake home and 4 cottages. The gorgeous grounds with its lake view was so peaceful. Our room had a private BR and also a private porch with lake view. The room was spacious and spotless. Beautifully decorated with luxury linens and a bed that was a dream come true. The options for the continental breakfast was very impressive. The owners, Stephanie and Dave are so very nice, warm, friendly and a have lot of pride in their home. And so they should, because this was a lovely setting and there is no doubt we will be returning. Thank you S and D.

We have a lovely time at the Saucy Willow. Stephanie and Dave are excellent, knowledgeable and friendly hosts. The grounds and Inn have so many cozy spots to curl up or to just sit and enjoy the view. Breakfast was delcious and Stephanie makes great homemade scones! We won't soon forget our stay Dave and Stephanie. Hope to see you again. Bill & Lisa (Mrs. F. Hook haha)

Delightful stay, Stephanie and Dave couldn’t have been more welcoming to their charming property. Loved it.

We had a great time! Stephanie makes a filling and unique breakfast, and, is willing to answer all questions! BYO beach towel.
