Jul 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Beauty of the Kawarthas My sister and I loved our stay at Cottage#2 at the Saucy Willow Inn. The cottage was perfect in every way; clean, comfortable, and with many amenities. Our hosts, Stephanie and Dave couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. This inn is very well situated also for exploration of the Kawarthas and surrounding areas. The cottage was very peaceful with a beautiful waterfront and and a large deck with each cottage. We look forward to a second stay. ##### Carol C.
