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.

The property is updated and well maintained. The owners greeted us. They are very friendly. We were shown the house amenities then to our room. Beautiful waterfront property. Fire pit. Multiple docks. Canoe and kayaks. Very nice breakfast. Not your typical bacon and eggs. Fresh fruit, homemade biscuits and jams, eggs, breads and more. We very much enjoyed it.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Saucy Willow Inn, and it was an unforgettable experience. Hosts Steph and Dave were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Their hospitality truly stands out and adds a personal touch to the stay. The inn boasts a stunning view of the lake, which is perfect for a relaxing getaway. Whether you’re enjoying the serene waters from the comfort of your room or while sitting on the spacious lawn, the scenery is simply breathtaking. Breakfast at The Saucy Willow Inn is another highlight. The variety of options available each morning ensures there’s something for everyone, and the quality of the food is top-notch. It’s the perfect way to start your day before exploring the beautiful surroundings. Overall, The Saucy Willow Inn is a gem in Coboconk, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with exceptional hospitality.

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!

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!
