Sir Sam's Inn was once the Haliburton estate of Sir Samuel Hughes, the decorated government minister who led Canada's
Military through the first world war.
The 10-bedroom stone and timber mansion he built along Eagle Lake's shoreline uniquely combined his desire for civilized comforts
with his respect for nature's own bold architecture.
That mutual respect continues today. While we've added 16 lakeside accommodations and the WaterSpa, a conference wing and many other
amenities, nature remains the guest of honour.
Stroll through acres of pine and hardwood forest on a nature trail or cruise the crystalline lakes in our classic fantail launch, the Lady Hughes.
Feeling energetic? From our beach you can water-ski, windsurf, sail, kayak, canoe and swim. We also have tennis and mountain
biking ideally followed by our WaterSpa.
The WaterSpa at Eagle Lake offers spa services that include a range of treatments to soothe, relax and refresh, essential
elements of a true holiday.
Nature's gifts are also celebrated in our Twin Fires dining room and wine cellar. Our kitchen is consistently rated one of the
best north of Toronto, always serving fresh choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Visit the cellar before dinner and select from the extensive collection of wines or join us for one of our regular tastings,
in the Loung by the Fire.
After dinner, enjoy a specialty coffer or digestive in front of the fire, along with a game of billiards, darts or
shuffleboard in Gunner's Pub. In the warmer months relax on the verandah, enjoying your coffee and the sunset over Eagle Lake.
