Why We Built A Hotel Without Any “Standard” Rooms

Forget the predictable rhythm of the everyday and the sea of “same-old” that often defines our surroundings. Sometimes, your spirit hungers for a splash of the extraordinary — a place where the walls tell stories and the scenery feels plucked from a dream.

More Than Just A Room

That is exactly why we built the Hazelnut Inn. It is less a place to rest your head and more like a gateway to another realm. From the moment you cross the threshold, the beige monotony of the real world vanishes, replaced by handcrafted wonders that took us nearly a decade to create. As our guests have noted, the “incredible detailing and execution of the build” makes it obvious that our magical little hotel is a “labour of love”.

Three Worlds, One Inn

When you arrive, the outside world doesn’t just fade away — it disappears. Whichever suite you choose, you are entering a self-contained story.

  • North Star Suite: This suite evokes the romance of sea-pirates and explorers. You sleep in the Captain’s quarters of the Avellana, complete with a king-size bed guarded by twin figureheads.

  • Under Hill Suite: This is the cozy, earthy burrow of your dreams. A snug underground home with a private walled garden and the soothing sound of a waterfall.

  • Copper Crown Suite: Now open for reservation, this suite feels straight out of a fairytale. It features a tower bedroom, a hidden passage, and a private garden you enter by stepping across the castle’s moat.

The Real Magic Is In The Details

Our guests often share that the true magic lies in the one-of-a-kind details you won't find anywhere else. It’s tucked away in the North Star’s garden and woven into the roots twining over the Under Hill’s bed. It’s an atmosphere so immersive that one guest described it as the feeling of “camping inside my favourite theme park.”

We didn’t build the Hazelnut Inn merely to provide a place to sleep; we built it to provide a place to dream. Every bit of sculpture and every hand-painted finish is designed to transport you from the reality, into a realm of story and imagination.

Are you ready to leave the mundane world behind?

Step Out Of The Ordinary And Into Your Very Own Fairytale

At the Hazelnut Inn, suites aren't just rooms—they are immersive love letters written in architecture. Every twisted root in the Under Hill and every seashell lantern aboard the North Star was crafted as a physical tribute to the notion of shared fantasy. We’ve  carved out a sanctuary for those who still believe in magic.

When the outside world grows too loud, your quiet moments of connection can be the first to fade. We designed these suites to bring them back. You’ll feel the intention in the heavy pull of a custom-carved door, the radiant warmth of tile floors beneath your feet, and the private garden under the stars.

Whether you’re retreating into a cozy subterranean burrow or ascending into a fairytale castle, you are stepping into an architectural romance. 

Put down the to-do list. Leave the world behind. Rediscover your love story within ours…

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.”
