The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The SPA saltwater pool was so beautiful and warm! My husband loved the fact that they had a sauna too, since that's a must for him to relax. Absolutely beautiful!

The property is a hidden gem and we had a great time at Sir Sam's. Staff throughout the hotel and restaurant were courteous and friendly and the food at the restaurant was excellent. The only thing making this a 4-star vs a 5-star review is that our room could have used a little TLC/a refresh, especially around items such as the door knob, furniture and bathroom hardware, etc. Not a huge deal overall and we'd happily go back again.

Amazing experience at Sir Sam's. Staff (Taylor) at the front desk and restaurant are super helpful and courteous. The spa is very nice. There are Balinese beds by the pool to relax in. The "waterfalls" for massaging your back are cool, but probably safer to not massage your back that way. Might cause misalignment 🙂 The cold splash under the bucket is another cool feature. There is a nice 'champagne grotto' with the white curtains and little bubbles. The temperature is kept warm and comfortable. The ladies shower I used had a clogged shower drain, which wasn't nice. Breakfast is very nice. You get a continental 'starter' breakfast including smoothie shots, while waiting for what you ordered. For dinner, we had the trout, ravioli and some forgettable vegetarian food. The good thing is, if you call them a week or so ahead, they can create a nice menu for your specific needs. Unfortunately you can only book the spa treatments till 4 pm, and we were out and about every day. Winter dance dog sledding nearby is a lot of fun. So is the sculpture forest walk and skyline park for the view. We also enjoyed the Forest Wolf Centre (entrance fee is $15 per person). Abbey's Garden nearby was a neat little shop with some quality jams and relishes etc. The rooms on the lake we stayed in, had steps going down, so may not be best for mobility issues. They had carpets on the floor, so bring your inhaler if you have asthma. Sir Sam's is right on the water, which is really good for summer activities like kayaking, swimming and fishing etc.

Me and my bf went to have breakfast at Sir Sam’s inn and spa, and we had an amazing experience. Food was amazing, very friendly environment and not expensive for the quality! Love it 100% recommended. We will be back!

Sir Sam's Inn and Spa provided us with an excellent experience this past winter. We stayed at Sir Sam's in early February for a getaway weekend. We arrived to a clean and cozy room with a comfortable King bed and a large jacuzzi tub that the two of us were able to enjoy together. The front desk staff gave us fire starters and some kindling to enjoy the fireplace during the night. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal package as the food was delicious. During our stay, we enjoyed three massage treatments and each one was professional and hit all the right spots! We enjoyed the large spa pool but headed to our room to enjoy the one in the room. Overall, we loved our stay at Sir Sam's and are looking forward to returning for our next getaway! There are amenities that could use some updating in the large spa area but we did see evidence of updates happening and more than enjoyed the large private jacuzzi tub in our room. Some information regarding the fireplace might be needed as we saw multiple rooms with heavy smoke coming out at them during our stay (I think from not using the plume properly). An easy solution could be having a QR code by each fireplace which links to a brief tutorial video on proper and safe fireplace use.

I well recommend this beautiful resort if you are looking for a romantic getaway. After visiting the hotel for our vacation with my boyfriend, I seriously missed the comfort of Sir Sam's Inn All staff members were knowledgeable, friendly and went above and beyond especially Deb (You are a wonderful lady and I will definitely miss seeing you) and also the great chef who personally took time and visited us at our table to make sure if we are enjoying our meal.The view of our room was also wondering with fireplace that we could enjoy every second of our staying there as well as the clean room and especially the bathroom was so clean. The breakfast was also included so they had many options for different taste and desires that serves delicious foods at reasonable prices. We would definitely stay there again on our next visit and can’t wait to come back next time.

Sir Sam's is a fun winter chalet destination! I am sure it is beautiful on the lake there in the summer as well. They have wood fireplaces in the rooms, and great food at the restaurant. We used snow shoes on the very frozen lake. This was home base for a dog sledding excursion with winter dance which I highly recommend. Very cozy winter lodge style setting!

My wife and I spent this past weekend at Sir Sam's. We had an amazing time. The room was great - decent size, great view, wood burning fireplace and a comfortable bed. The food was superb. Every meal was excellent and full of flavour. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We both got a massage on Saturday morning and were very relaxed from that point on. We hadn't been to the Inn in almost 16 years but it lived up to our high expectations. Thank you Sir Sam's staff for making our much needed weekend away very memorable.

My girlfriend and I came here to use the water spa and it was great. We felt the facilities were fine and it was clean. Staff was good to us. My only criticism is that we called a head twice a month a head for myself and my girlfriend once. I spoke with a gentleman once and lady employee. Same with my girlfriend, they did not mention calling a head was beneficial to the staff. In fact they were actually closed for upgrades to the faculty, however the girl at the front desk was generous enough to let us use the water spa. So basically I’d recommend but if you read this call ahead.

This is a fantastic getaway spot. The location is so quiet and beautiful, you can just unwind and relax. The spa itself is wonderful. There's multiple areas in the pool with different ways to help you relax. When you're done with the spa area, there is a sauna to help continue the journey to relaxation. See if you can get a massage from Christine. I was more tenderized than a Wagyu sirloin when we were done. Their drink menu is very unique, the cocktails are made almost exclusively with alcohols distilled in Ontario. Truly a one-of-a-kind experience. The tea and coffees are locally sourced as well. Everything that we ordered at the restaurant was delicious. If the lamb is on special (as it was for us) I very much recommend it. The rooms that we stayed in were cosy. Each room seems to have it's own patio area and fire place. They're not large rooms, but then again, you shouldn't be spending much time in there at this resort. All of the staff in general didn't really feel like staff, they felt like friends welcoming us into their home. You can feel that each team member cares very much about the place The whole experience delivered the authentic small-town Ontario vibe, with all of the charms. Someone loved this place so much that they decided to propose to their girlfriend here on the first night of our stay. I was asked to take video of it. Also on-site, depending on the season, there are boats, tennis court, games room, outside fire area, deck chairs for sunbathing, and just up the hill there is a ski hill for the winter months. I'll very likely do another visit here.
