Perfectly PLANNED

While all of our dwellings are completely unique locations, our amenities extend across all of our properties. Susan’s passion long lives in creating memorable spaces and experiences, intuitively understanding how beautifully and thoughtfully designed spaces enhance living.

The details, both big and small, have been well thought out.

“to be at home in a life built by design”

— SUSAN DROVER

Susan’s personal vision extends to everything she does. Her passion for designing environments that help people live their best lives began in 2011 with SAM Design. DWELL by sam is an extension of SAM, featuring short-term experiences that allow people to gather, linger, stay a little while, and feel at home even if away. From curated bed linens, libraries, lighting, scents, homemade treats, furniture, and unique locations, we want you to rest, relax and exhale. We love everything unique our province offers and we look forward to sharing our passion for designing beautiful and unique spaces with you. Stay a night, stay a week. Just wherever you are, be all there.
