The Saucy Willow Inn and Cottages

The Saucy Willow Inn and Cottages

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent stay. The Inn and the rooms are beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. The location is wonderful. Amenities are great (kayaks, canoes, stand up paddleboards and fire pits). But mostly the hosts, Dave and Steph, are most gracious and very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was very good too"

Haliburton Post House

Haliburton Post House

10/10 Excellent
"This is a very boutique type of property but with a very casual woodsy vibe. I say boutique as there are only a few cabins and I believe 3 main lodge rooms. Staff is not everywhere but when we checked in we got the most amazing greeting. The young lady in the diningroom in the morning is very sweet and helpful. It should be noted that unless you book time in the restaurant there are no other facilities for food on site. This obviously is not an issue if you are in a cabin but the main lodge may pose one. We were in the lodge but were back and forth to another location. When the restaurant is open it is quite a busy place. I cannot rate the ammenities other than the gym which was very well appointed and of a great size. There are many boats to use as well as a fire pit and some outdoor type games. While we were there it was quiet and peaceful. The rooms are well appointed with good television options if you want to sit in and watch some TV. A mini fridge and a coffee maker are also available. The location is wonderful and very easy to find."

"The room was clean and comfortable. The mattress was excellent. The pool was a disappointment. It was small and needed to be resurfaced. Also, the beach area needed attention. The spa was lovely. The massages seemed overpriced considering they are not RMT. The grounds are quiet and we'll maintained."
