Summer is waining here at the Hazelnut Inn, but we still have some warm afternoons. The other day our family’s barn cat, Mustache, took advantage of the afternoon heat and made himself comfortable in the crook of our giant stone head’s nose.

We had a wonderful time celebrating Yarrow Days! Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed waving to the crowd from the parade float. As it turns out, she has quite a good throwing arm when it comes to parade candy! Grandpa also had a blast pulling the dragon through town with his miniature Jeep and as a bonus we were awarded a first place ribbon.

As promised, we brought the scale model of the inn to Yarrow Pioneer Park. We really enjoyed chatting with everyone who stopped by! It was wonderful to meet so many people who have been following our progress online. Thank you all for the encouragement - we are more eager than ever to start construction on site!

Some love stories are written in books, but ours is carved into concrete.

Years ago, during our European honeymoon, my wife Hailey and I found ourselves tucked away in a magical castle tower. Wrapped in the enchantment of that ancient place, we looked at each other and knew we wanted to bring that exact feeling of wonder back home.

Castles may be rare in Canada, but imagination is not. As theme park designers, we have spent our lives building worlds of fantasy for others. Hailey looked at our unique skills and realized we could build our very own fairytale. When a piece of an old hazelnut farm became available, we didn’t hesitate. We sold our home, bought the land and, together with our family and our incredible team at the Imagination Corporation, poured our hearts into our magical little hotel.

Today, that honeymoon dream is a living reality. The doors to our fantasy suites are officially open, waiting to become a part of your story.
