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.

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!

Very nice having a wood burning fireplace in our room

the property far exceeded our expectations. our room had a balcony and wood burning fireplace. the warm salt water pool had areas with massaging jets and the sauna was also a nice private area.the on site restaurant was very good. we made a few trips to Haliburton for supplies, then discovered when we were on our way out, there is a county store not far from the resort

The resort was great. Could use some fixing up(missing tiles in pool, weatherproofing). Could use a family restaurant instead. Views are amazing and rooms are comfortable.

The place is wonderful. The property needs some upgrading. Restaurant to price for what they offer. Room ok but the bath tub is very dangerous for older people. We were afraid to get into it to get a shower.

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!

Room feels cozy and view is great. Room and bathroom are clean. But the jetted tub that I paid for wasn't working. The area and parking were not plowed so wear boots or waterproof shoes in the winter.

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.

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 .

Very disappointing. Hotel seriously needs updating. Over-priced. Handed me one coffee pod and two cream and a small bottle of water in a plastic bag when I checked in (tacky). Bathtub didn't even look like it had been cleaned. Food in restaurant was good, but again, over-priced. Hotel charged an extra $21.00 onto y hotels.com invoice with no explanation. Would not recommend.

The property is absolutely beautiful sitting on Eagle Lake. We were there in fall when the leaves were changing. Canoes and kayaks were provided by the Inn. Waterspa was well maintained however there is no hot tub. There is one massage therapist on site however, she is not an RMT.
Rooms were clean and have a wood burning fire place! Be sure to ask front desk for fire starters. Bathrooms are a bit outdated. We were in a Junior Suite that was a walk out to the lake which was very convenient.
Food was very good! However very limited options especially for those with dietary restrictions. When we booked, we called to advise of food allergies as requested in the booking. When we arrived, the kitchen wasn't aware of the allergies and we had to make sure to remind the kitchen before every meal about the allergies (we stayed for 3 days and had breakfast and dinner everyday). Especially since the meal plan is not cheap, it was disappointing.
Customer service was a bit disappointing at the front desk and some of the servers. We were taken back a few times and felt as though we were inconveniencing staff when we asked questions. It put a bit of a damper on our stay but luckily we were able to spend most of our time outside since the weather was beautiful.

The room we stayed in and the indoor spa pool are in desperate need of renovations. We were not impressed
(especially because of Covid) how dusty and dirty our room was including a dirty toilet. The loungers in the pool area were stained and dirty. Some of the spa pool features not working at all. The floor around the indoor pool is very slippery when wet. For safety, that should be fixed immediately. The only thing we enjoyed during our stay was the view of the lake. Because of all the other issues we will not be returning.

Dinning food choices limited and pricey. Lack of fruit and vegetables.
Dinning room a little dated.

Lovely couples inn. Food was excellent. The lemon lavender cheese cake and Kawartha mint chocolate chip ice cream was to die for😊 Lots of activity options too.Indoor, outdoor pools and lake with small sandy beach, breathtaking view of Eagle Lake. Quite a few Canada geese so had to watch your step. Did enjoy the parents with their new spring flock. 2 families there most of day...maybe consider getting a border collie dog to keep them away! Hmmm🙂
Our Room was in separate condo style building and private with its own patio and chairs which we liked. Queen bed with lots of pillows, clean, very comfortable, firm but not too hard. Bathroom jacuzzi was disappointing, seen better times, stains and tiles cracked and not great repair job. So didnt use but was one of reasons we booked this room. The rain shower was nice. Room overall was clean just a little tired. Loved the chests from the army and antiques were nice. No air conditioning was a drawback and i didn't notice tihis on booking & there in the midst of an August heatwave. Fans and ceiling fan above bed. Covid precautions taken seriously.👍
The staff were very friendly and concerned with you having a good time. Tracy in the restaurant was amazing, suggesting the meal plan as we had not realized this option and had booked everything separately, thank you! Make sure you make early advanced reservations for dinner prior to arrival.
Overall had a great time and would go back.

My husband and I just had a 2-day stay, my 2nd time.
The property has changed little in the past 20 years. That in itself should say a lot.
On the plus side, the food is still as good ($$$) and staff are friendly.
It was unfortunate that the Water spa was not operational due to a broken heater. The outside pool (like an infinity pool overlooking the lake!) is beautiful to look at, but alas it's not a heated one, and was bone-chilling, freezing cold! The lake was warmer! I'm sure if this pool was heated, people wouldn't just sit around sunbathing.
If this resort could make improvements in and around the building, e.g. improve the landscape with pretty flowers, and make a walkway on the lawn, so one doesn't have to step on geese droppings everywhere, it would make the place look better and more comfortable for the guests. They could also provide orientation to what facilities and services were available and no, especially during these covid times, at check-in (we discovered the ping-pong, pool and shuffle, and the charming bartender, John, almost at the end of our stay), it would have made for a better experience for sure.
So overall, for the price we paid for 2 nights, I think it falls short compared to other similar priced resorts.
But I'll end on a good note. The lake is beautiful and the resort is quiet and peaceful. Perfect lake for canoeing and kayaking. The boat cruise was lovely.
And the sound of the loons each morning and evening made my day.

FAR FROM A LUXYRY SPA!
Where do I even start? As a SPA they failed to mention on the website that their spa was closed so imagine my surprise when I book a stay in a spa and after a 3 hour drive and taking time off work am told their spa is not even open; that's not even half of it. Their WiFi does not work it keeps going on and off, no air conditioning expect a fan that sounds like Jurassic Park is next door so forget about having a good night sleep, the rooms are in DESPERATE need of repair! stained floors and old scratched up furniture & oh did I mention they serve no lunch and the closest restaurants are 20 minutes away? dinner was available but the main course prices start at around 40$ ? Obnoxiously priced set menu & the food is not nearly good enough for that price point. The only open facility indoors was the bar which was the most depressing thing because half the lights were off and there was this annoying none stop buzzing sound from a broken light or something and it would take forever to pay with a card because their machines would not work properly so yeah long story short do yourself a favor and save your hard earned money and go somewhere else which does not trick you with false advertising.
