Sir Sam's Inn & WaterSpa is a classic country inn and resort. A location on the shore of Eagle Lake in the beautiful Haliburton Highlands provides guests with the four-season recreation facilities of a resort and also the dining and amenities of a fine country inn. Sir Sam's specializes in meetings of up to 50 persons and groups often enjoy the exclusive use of the property and facilities. Meeting planners appreciate Sir Sam's philosophy of flexibility that allows complete freedom when determining menu, recreational times and activities.

The inn began as the summer estate of Sir Samuel Hughes, Canada's Minister of Defence during World War I. The original ten-bedroom mansion was an architectural expression, in hand-hewn beams and skilled masonry work of Sir Sam's desire to combine the best of creature comforts with the natural beauty of Haliburton. Inn management continues this tradition by naming Nature itself as the inn's "guest of honour."
