Just another beautiful fall day here at the Hazelnut Inn.

#winteriscoming

We are rapidly closing in on finishing the sculpted concrete inside the Under Hill Suite. Just two more days and we’ll be done!

This week we are finishing up the final sculpting inside the Under Hill’s ensuite. I finished off the last of the welding while Matt sculpted two heavy ‘wood’ beams. By the end of the week, we will be down to painting and tile inside the Under Hill — and next year we will start working inside the Copper Crown Suite.

We’ve been called the “Shrek” hotel. Which is a bit confusing… because we aren’t.

I think I understand the reasoning though, because we are a kind of fairytale hotel. Not Shrek’s fairytale, or Bilbo Baggins’ fairytale, or even sleeping beauty’s fairytale — a fairytale of your own.

A little fantasy world you can literally step into.

And that’ll do…

Our painters are adding more magic to the Under Hill Suite every day. The ‘dirt’ blends are now complete and the large stones are almost done. Next up are the final blends on the roots and then we will start in on the glazes which will darken and richen the colours; toeing everything together.

This photo shows the view our guests will enjoy as they soak in the suite’s giant tub for two.
