We really enjoyed our stay. The reception staff were incredibly kind and even allowed us a late checkout, which made the experience even better. The place has a charming rustic atmosphere and a relaxing ambience. It’s a perfect spot for a quiet weekend getaway with someone you love. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay at Sir Sam's Inn and Waterspa! We had a beautiful view of the lake, and saw lots of deer walking along the shore during our stay. We had plenty of firewood for our fireplace in our room, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and cute, complete with a smart TV and robes. The live music, Gord Kidd, was exceptional. We definitely hope to return here soon :)

Room was clean - which is most important, large with a decent kitchen and great open space with a fireplace. It was a little run down, which is the difference between a 5 star.

This is a nice little place that provides a clean place to stay. It does require some repairs and updates 100%. The staff was very pleasant and welcoming. The pool area needs a lot of work and fixing and rooms need to be updated and some items needed repair as well in the rooms.

Beautiful waterfront older property, but has old charm. The spa pool was amazing, front desk staff was very accommodating when we expressed concerns of cleanliness. We stayed in the condo suite, it was nice, but needing repair and wasn’t very clean. Our overall experience was good.

Property needs some updating. The room was dirty and the floors had not been washed or vacuumed in quite a while. Although, the bed was clean and comfortable, the wood burning fireplace is always enjoyable. The pool/water spa was ok. Most of the jets did not work but the water was nice anyway. This property has definitely gone down hill over the last few years. A bit disappointed. Not sure we will be back.
