History of the Bourget Inn & Spa Resort
Probably one of the most common questions we're asked is "what's the history of Inn". Here's a little about it...
The Inn was built in the 1960's as a private country home. From the time it was built until 1998 it was the residence of a wealthy family. They had five boys and a live in nanny. They enjoyed entertaining lots of family and friends, and an expansion in the mid 1980's reflected their enjoyment of hospitality. The expansion included a large dining room, a library, a solarium, an additional lounge area, more guest rooms and an office area.
Once the family had grown up and all the boys (except for one) had moved away the home was sold to a couple who began the transition from home to business. Originally the plan was a retirement home but with the quiet secluded location this idea never materialized. Their back-up plan was a Country Inn and they began marketing the destination as such but with little success and a few years later it was sold.
This time it was sold to my family. We immediately began moving in the spa direction by converting two of the guest rooms into treatment rooms. A couple years later we built our 6 room spa facility. Since our beginning here we have naturally pursued the direction toward health and well-being while providing a resort where people can enjoy a terrific getaway.
Today we move forward with our vision of serving people. Helping them rest, relax and renew strength. And of providing you with the best spa getaway in Ontario!
We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you soon...
