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.

Charming getaway and lovely hosts. Relaxing location. Amazing room. One negative, Their main property says adults only. But cottages also on property had kids. Love kids but was looking forward to a quiet place with no kids running around. The adults only reason was was why we selected it. And laid that fee. It was disappointing to experience the noise when we were just looking to relax.

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.
