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.
4.2
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!

Beautiful spot and loved the fireplace in the room!

Beautiful property and clean rooms. Dining options are limited in the area, however, there is a restaurant on site.
4.2
The WaterSpa is WONDERFUL! Great ski hill across the road. Rooms & facilities need better cleaning/maintaining. Restaurant lovely but food overpriced.
4.2
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.
4.2
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.

Small property in a nice location with very friendly staff.

Great…can’t wait to go back!

Very pretty location and resort has lots of character. Only negative was a coffee machine was included in the room but no cream or sugar was provided. Minor inconvenience.

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.

Such amazing service and such kind staff!

There is nothing anywhere like the pool spa!
4.2
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.

We enjoyed the whole atmosphere there relaxing

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
4.2
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
4.2
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.
4.2
It is beautifully located.
4.2
very nice and cozy place, but towels were too old and full of stains, bathtub wasn't clean also

They have excellent lansdcaping and lake front scenery. Best place to nestle in the fall visit

Food is really good. Staff are very helpful.
4.2
Lovely grounds; great staff; amazing water spa! Needs a refresh
4.2
Slightly hard to find, but that's because it was so secluded and part of it's charm. All the rooms over looked the lake. The indoor pool wsd amazing. No complaints
4.2
great amenities and location
4.2
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.
4.2
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!
4.2
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!
4.2
Beautiful lake view and beautiful spa pool. So rich in history.
4.2
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.
4.2
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.
