Storytelling

When we first started designing the Hazelnut Inn we knew we weren’t just building a hotel — we were creating a magical setting for the stories our guests bring with them.

After all, our little getaway began as part of our own love story. Our vision wasn’t about bricks, wood, or nails. It was about capturing the feeling — the sense of escape — and the spark of wonder you find in your favourite novel. We wanted to build a place where the everyday world falls away, leaving space for magic to find its way into your life.

Every detail; the curving walls of the Under Hill; the celestial ceiling in the North Star, the banners hanging in the Copper Crown, is all designed so that you can step into your own private fairytale.

It’s Your Story

We know our guests aren’t just looking for a place to sleep — they’re searching for a backdrop for their own cherished moments. The stories that breathe life into our magical little hotel belong to the couples celebrating together or who are simply seeking a moment of quiet reflection away from the hurly-burly of life.

Whether it’s curling up with a loved one by the fire in your private garden, soaking in your ultra-deep tub, or simply basking in the atmosphere of your handcrafted suite, it’s all here. The true magic of the Hazelnut Inn isn’t found in the elaborate decor; it’s found in your experience.

We’re honoured to be a part of your story and can’t wait to welcome you to your own fairytale retreat here in British Columbia.

Solving The “Travel Burnout” Problem

Everyone loves a good vacation, but to be honest l’ve had enough “airport floor naps” and “armrest battles” to last a lifetime.

For those of us in the Vancouver and Fraser Valley area, finding a “bucket list” getaway usually requires a passport, three layovers, and a sacrifice to the luggage gods. But our magical little hotel offers a world-class themed experience just an hour or two from the city.

World-Class Magic (Minus the Jet Lag)

You don’t need a passport to find a place that feels like an entirely different world. By choosing a staycation at the Hazelnut Inn, you can ditch the planning fatigue of a major trip; you might even decide on a Tuesday that you’re officially over adulthood and be relaxing in the North Star’s giant soaker tub by Wednesday afternoon. You also get to skip the airport shuffle with its “convenience” fees and the “privilege” of standing in line. Instead, you can simply wheel your suitcase through the Under Hill’s private garden, kick off your shoes, and call it a day.

High-End Luxury, Locally Sourced

And, just because we’re close to home doesn't mean we skimp on the wow factor. As one guest raved, “It is like staying at a Disney resort without the crowds, the noise, or the travel.” It is no exaggeration to say that the Hazelnut Inn has the soul of a handcrafted art piece.

Spend Your Time Being There, Not Getting There

Removing the stress of travel and spend your precious time off actually enjoying your surroundings. Relax indoors or step outside and enjoy a coffee in your very own private garden. As our guests often say, the moment you enter our gates, “the outside world disappears.”
