Overall Ratings & Reviews Sir Sam's Inn & Waterspa - Adults Only

Use wet firewood for everyone I found all the firewood that was dry inside the building at least we were able to have a nice fire the last night

We enjoyed the setting along the lake. The views were great. The staff were very helpful. The property feels dated. The rooms could use a reboot and the dining room was very understated. All in all a nice place to stay on a more rustic level.

Great spot to unwind…

I loved the location on the lake. It was beautiful with all the fall colours. The room was good. The only small problem was the remote for the TV didn't work well. We used the buttons on the TV itself to turn it on and off. The toilet paper rack needed to be fixed.

A very beautiful and peaceful setting. The room is a bit dated but it is comfortable and clean.

Amazing view and property rooms are definitely older but clean, not a lot of food. Options would highly recommend barbeques for guests. Restaurant extremely expensive.

Loved the rooms over looking the lake with wood burning stove. The pool spa was a nice way to end the day. We enjoyed kayaking on Eagle lake. It was nice that SUP boards and Kayaks are available. Not a great experience with the dinning. Over priced. Food was ok. I suggest dining in Halliburton. Haliburton just a 15 minute drive with some great pubs and restaurants.

The inn is set in a beautiful area of eagle lake, great views, nice small beach with sun beds, nice to swim in lake, free hour boat trip, weather permitting, free kayaks, lots of areas to sit and admire the view, nice restaurant serving breakfast and dinner, friendly staff, good indoor pool and spa areas. The main building could do with some tlc, the cleanliness of the lodges needs improving, a lot of cobwebs inside and out, carpets very old and need replacing.

The property was so beautiful and peaceful. Loved the adults only aspect. The stars were breath taking. All of the staff we talked with were very friendly and helpful.

Amazing property

Railing was loose on balcony and on need of maintenance. The grounds are nice and the room was orherwise cozy and clean.

The room could have been a little cleaner. Floors. Also there was a fire place where old wood was kept but not in use as it’s the summer so there were scraps of wood & very dusty that could have been cleaned up. Don’t mind the would siting under the fire place but old pieces of wood were lying atond & very dusty.

I have been to Sir Sams a few times over the years and I have to say that it has gone down hill greatly since I was here last. If you are going in the summer you should be aware that aside from the lobby and dining area there is no air conditioning. The rooms get very hot. They are clearly having some staffing issues. We were unfortunate enough to be there the day after their chef suddenly quit, leaving them scrambling to get a replacement. They did get someone who had previously done the job for them and he made a valiant effort to keep things on an even keel. Unfortunately he had to battle a larder left depleted by the original chef. The long and short of the dining experience was that dinner was bumped an hour later for the early diners which made everyone come in about the same time. This seemed to overwhelm the staff. Meals were VERY slow to come out and very erratic. Many dishes, including mine which was requested as medium-rare, came out well-done and had to be sent back adding another half hour or so wait. They did not offer to take my wife's dinner back so we could eat together. They did give us free drinks to compenate. Breakfast was a different story. It was organized and everything was good. The rugs in the main area and the suites were very old and stained. Our bedding had to be replaced because it was frankly dirty. I have to say the staff did their best. The place is looking very tired. It needs a major overhaul.

The property feels rundown and deserted with minimal staff. Mediocre meal for $200. Latte machine broken.

I’d asked for a room with a patio on the first floor, but they were going to give me a room on the second floor. Also, when we went to the restaurant to have dinner, they said we should’ve made a reservation, but this wasn’t communicated to us, and so we had to drive 20 km to the nearest decent restaurant to eat.

Beautiful property. We arrived at 7:45pm tired and hungry after a 5 hour drive and was told no availability left for dinner. Lots of tables open and lots of diners still there. 30 minute drive to Minden for set down meal. Places in Haillburton 15 minutes away but all fast foods. SAD!

Enjoyed our day on the lake and the evening at Sir Sam’s
