 ir Sam's Inn
& WaterSpa is Haliburton's classic country inn and resort. A location on the shores of Eagle Lake provides guests with the four-season recreation facilities of a resort, but with the dining and amenities of a fine country inn. Sir Sam's specializes in meetings of up to 50 people, and often extends to visiting groups the exclusive use of the property and facilities. Meeting planners appreciate Sir Sam's philosophy of flexibility that allows considerable freedom in determining menu, recreational times and activities.
The inn began as the summer estate of Sir Samuel Hughes, Canada's Minister of Defense 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 wild beauty of Haliburton. Inn management continues this tradition of respecting the local landscape by naming nature itself as the inn's "guest of
honour."
