Just north of Seattle, in the quiet village of Yarrow, British Columbia, sits the Hazelnut Inn — a place built for couples who want to slow down, settle in, and stay somewhere that feels genuinely unlike home.

The drive north is easy. In about two and a half hours, you can leave Seattle behind, cross into the Fraser Valley, and find yourself surrounded by open views, mountains, and a much quieter pace. No airport security. No flight. Just a change of scenery and some time away together.

Three Distinct Private Suites

The Hazelnut Inn has three private suites: the North Star Suite, the Under Hill Suite, and the Copper Crown Suite. Each is its own little world.

The North Star Suite takes its inspiration from the sea and the night sky, with a star-mapped ceiling overhead. It is the sort of room that invites you to look up and stay awhile.

The Under Hill Suite is tucked underground with a glowing hearth and the feeling of a hidden retreat. Settle in and pour a cup of tea — there’s nowhere else you need to be.

The Copper Crown Suite evokes the grandeur of a storybook castle with soaring stonework that suggests stepping into another time.

Throughout the property, we used timbers, bricks, and custom sculptures to create spaces that feel handcrafted rather than interchangeable. Each suite has a deep soaking tub built for two, along with board games and little treats for unhurried afternoons. Outside, private garden gates open onto courtyards with waterfalls and tucked-away places to wander, sit, talk, or simply listen to the water for a while.

Nothing here was designed to feel like an ordinary hotel. The idea was to create three private little worlds where you can close the gate behind you and settle into a place that feels entirely your own.

If you’re looking for a getaway that feels like more than a change of address, come spend a little time with us in Yarrow.

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.
