The WaterSpa is WONDERFUL! Great ski hill across the road. Rooms & facilities need better cleaning/maintaining. Restaurant lovely but food overpriced.

My husband & I enjoyed our first Fall Getaway to Sir Sam’s Inn. Beautiful area tucked away in the trees for some peace and quiet. Staff were wonderful, rooms could have been a bit cleaner. Rooms are in need of some updating. Therapy pool was wonderful for those achey muscles. Food is pricy in their Dinningroom but if you don’t mind spending it then….all in all was a nice place.

Stunning views of Eagle Lake and the fall colors, indoor water spa pool, dock and lakeside sitting spaces...and the food is great! The inn also provides a free boat ride of the Eagle Lake. Situated close to Sir Sam's Ski & ride. Saw a couple of deer roaming around the property.

Beautiful views...with much room for improvement!
My wife and I booked a last minute 2 night stay just after Canada Day weekend. The resort has beautiful, west facing, sunset views over the lake. However, the daily complimentary 1 hour cruise, with Steve, was the highlight of the trip (enjoyed both days)! The bed was comfortable although both nights were sleepless, due to a mini heat wave, and the room was an absolute furnace! That being said, we knew up front there was no AC (not the fault of Sir Sam's). There's much room for improvement, however...and we're not sure it deserves even a 31/2 star rating. The ice machine was broken (has been for awhile), so we had to ask for the bar to only '3/4' fill our mini bucket each day :( On a similar note, there was enough bodywash included for only 1 shower. Good thing we brought some with us. Also bring a power bar, as there are hardly any available electrical outlets...that arent't already being used for table lamps/fans/CO detector. We ate dinner on one (1) night (fool me once). Good thing neither of us were hungry. The 7oz NY striploin (nearly $50 CAD) was possibly 2-3oz's of fat, although it was cooked...and seasoned well. I strongly encourage taking advantage of their meal plan, or eating elsewhere. We found McKeck's Pub was worth the 17 minute drive. Lastly, the TV was maybe 15" at best, and the satelite had nothing but news, TV shows, and PPV. They'd be better off replacing with a larger SMART TV where you can stream your own Netflix, Prime, Disney, etc.

The rooms were ok, but not wonderful. Truthfully we were pretty disappointed with the water spa. Half of the jets weren’t working/broken. We ate at the restaurant both nights we stayed. The first night was good. The second night was really disappointing. The fire wood we were provided was wet which made making a fire impossible. The staff were nice, but overall I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Photos depict a bright and airy decor. We chose the room with the 2 wing chairs and the beautiful pine hope chest style coffee table. We were given a very dated dull room with no wing chairs or large coffee table; simply a very old couch with cushions that had no support. The tv was the smallest wall tv we’d ever seen. We we mortified to be given sheets of paper for kindling that had previous customer’s personal information…their name, email address and what they paid during their stay! Now we wonder who’s reading our personal info? We also didn’t see anywhere on the hotel listing that said the rooms were inna motel-like strip behind the main hotel, with no parking in front of the suites. We also had no idea there were stairs with no safety railing going down to the room the minute you open your door. The staff were extremely warm & friendly and the manager moved us to another room with 2 wing chairs, but still no coffee table or DVD player as advertised. So the romantic movies we brought for Valentine’s couldn’t be watched. The gorgeous pool they show on their site was also dated and the jets were so weak we didn’t see how they could claim this is therapeutic in any way. The restaurant “Twin Fires” wasn’t very warm. We saw the two fireplaces…but both nights they weren’t lit. However, that being said the cuisine was lovely with beautiful presentation, the candle-lit ambiance and outdoor twinkly lights were appreciated, and their staff are exceptional!

This was a lovely inn and I’ll be going back. The staff was helpful. The food on site was delicious (was it pricey? Sure). It was a lot quieter than I thought it would be. Plenty of space to sit and read and chat and relax. I lit fires every night in my room. The bugs weren’t even too bad. The building and suites could use a little bit of an update but that’s only cosmetic. Definitely functional and quaint!

Place is serene and a total gorgeous setting. Very relaxing. Loved the character of the place. You can see some wear and tear from the years but over all lots of character. Fireplace in each unit has a romantic touch. In bed the view of the lake was incredible as was the spa pool with all the different jets for messages. I found it strange there was no microwaves in the room so if you grabbed food from outside then you cannot warm it up. BRING YOUR OWN COOLERS. There is a small fridge but barely holds enough. Also the outdoor common fire pit was great for meeting other guests. I loved how there was a patio or balcony for each unit to sit outside and have a coffee or drink. I wish the outdoor pool was heated to swim in the cooler weather but having that indoor spa pool made up for it. The closest town is about 15 mins away and everything closes early. Foodland has everything you need along with 2 pharmacies. I would highly recommend this place for a couples getaway. The main building has some fixtures that need attending to but again it has character. I liked the games room and the quaint bar area. Small but sufficient. Dinner was good but way overpriced. We ate there once and the portions were small. We grabbed food from Foodland for dinner and a pizza the next night. But sucky we had to eat it right away as no microwave to heat up your food. Overall I would give it 4/5. Minor old details with aging of the building but the view is fantastic!

Beautiful location on Eagle lake. Clean room with a view on the lake and comfortable bed. The place is a bit worn out. You can hear conversations from your neighbours. Not very private. The features at the Spa do not work and the water is a bit cold. The sauna is never ON and you need to ask the people at the front desk to turn it on. Why not install a timer for the clientele to use? This place has so much potential. It is too bad it is not kept up. This property needs TLC. We will not go back especially at such a high price.

Dinner for two was VERY costly. A pre heated Mac-n-cheese, chicken breast and veggies, 1x beer and two desserts rang in at $125 plus tax. Room not the cleanest, we chose not to even go near the in a heart shaped jacuzzi tub from the 1984 with a retro fitted shower curtain. No phone to call front desk, don’t even bother trying to call using our cell phone as the employees have “checked out”. Unfortunately once a gem, now a dive.

I thought the way Expedia presented the inn as bed and breakfast but it was just bed no breakfast. So going with Expedia it was very expensive. So I will not go that route again.

Not coming back
The room was small,furniture tired,no cloth hangers in the closet so we dress out of our language We Found a pile of beer cans from previous visitors outside the patio door and they were Not picked up during our stay so no ground maintenance. The restaurant offer only breakfast and lunch ,and was realy pricey with a limited selection.,so you have to drive out to Huliburton if you want lunch.Huliburton restaurants were closed also on Sunday The Water Spa features are Limited ,the steam room was closed and Spa services I think were non existent ? The full resort need serious upgrading in order to be consider Luxurious. The advertising on line was misleading.At the time of booking breakfast was $20 but at the time of staying become $25,no smart TV,No daily housekeeping,no ironing board available.,etc.With regret I’m not gonna return to this resort .
