A Fairytale Weekend At The Hazelnut Inn In The Fraser Valley
Just beyond Vancouver, the Fraser Valley offers a different kind of weekend escape. In the village of Yarrow, Chilliwack, the Hazelnut Inn is home to three fantasy suites, each with its own private entrance, garden, and distinct design.
Each suite is its own world.
Three Suites, Three Worlds
The three suites take very different approaches to fantasy.
The Copper Crown Suite
The Copper Crown is a tiny castle, built around classic elements of medieval fantasy. Stone arches shape the sitting room, while the tower bedroom centres on a crowned bed.
The Under Hill Suite
The Under Hill Suite takes its inspiration from old-world folklore and woodland dwellings. Curved beams and tree roots extend through the ceiling, while the suite sits beneath a green hill. A stone hearth adds to its whimsical character.
The North Star Suite
The North Star Suite combines the atmosphere of an explorer’s study with maritime and celestial elements. Its walls are painted deep midnight blue, while the ceiling features a hand-painted map of the planets. Rich colours, nautical influences, and celestial imagery give the room a distinct sense of place.
A Weekend In Yarrow & The Fraser Valley
The Hazelnut Inn is adults-only, with each suite designed for privacy. Private entrances and walled gardens make it possible to spend much of a weekend on the property without seeing much of the outside world.
Still, Yarrow and the surrounding Fraser Valley offer plenty to explore.
A morning might begin with a walk through the village, followed by coffee or a pastry. Beyond Yarrow, the valley offers wineries, farms, walking trails, and other places to explore at your own pace. By evening, the simplest plan may be the best one: return to the inn and settle into your private garden. Each suite has its own water feature, adding the sound of moving water to the surrounding greenery.
A Stay Built Around The Details
Much of the Hazelnut Inn’s character comes from the accumulation of physical details. Stonework and arches establish the castle character of the Copper Crown. Curved beams and roots transform the Under Hill into a sheltered woodland retreat. In the North Star, midnight-blue walls and celestial details create an atmosphere that is both nautical and otherworldly.
The result is not one overarching fantasy theme, but three carefully constructed spaces. The experience is about more than having somewhere unusual to sleep. It is about spending time in a setting deliberately built to feel removed from the everyday.
A Weekend In A Different Setting
For couples looking beyond a conventional hotel, the Hazelnut Inn offers a more specific kind of getaway: the chance to stay in a space with its own architecture, atmosphere, and sense of story. The appeal is less about how far you have travelled than about where you arrive.
For a weekend, stonework, timber, painted ceilings, gardens, hearths, and water features create a setting that feels distinctly separate from home. And with three suites to choose from, each offers its own way into the story.
