A scenic two-hour drive from Toronto and just 20 minutes from the Muskoka border. The inn has earned its reputation as one of Ontario's most intimate couples destinations, combining historic charm with a genuinely therapeutic spa program and excellent dining. The centrepiece of the property is the WaterSpa, a one-of-a-kind hydrotherapy circuit offering a 45–60 minute water experience: high-pressure water jets targeting the neck and lower back, a champagne grotto with micro-bubble water, a cold bucket plunge, a co-ed cedar sauna, and Balinese day beds beside the saltwater pool. The circuit is available daily and forms the backbone of the Sir Sam's wellness experience. Accommodations include lakeside inn rooms and private cottages, all featuring whirlpool baths or spacious soaking tubs and wood-burning fireplaces. Standard kit for a Haliburton retreat done properly. The dining room produces Ontario-sourced seasonal menus with an impressive locally distilled cocktail program; the Monday prime rib dinner has become an institution. Outdoor activities across all four seasons. Kayaking, tennis, winter skiing at the adjacent Sir Sam's Ski Area, snowmobiling, and dogsled tours. Extend the retreat well beyond the spa. ## What it is like - WaterSpa hydrotherapy circuit: A one-of-a-kind therapeutic water experience: high-pressure jets, champagne grotto, Balinese day beds, cold bucket plunge, and cedar sauna.
