Your next fantasy-themed getaway may be much closer than you think.
Tucked away just off of Yarrow Central Road, the Hazelnut Inn is described as a 害羞草研究所渕agical boutique hotel害羞草研究所� and six years after breaking ground, is set for its official grand opening during Yarrow Days on June 1.
害羞草研究所淭here害羞草研究所檚 lots of curiosity right,害羞草研究所� said co-owner Peter Sawatzky. 害羞草研究所淲e wanted as many people as possible to see it and that seemed like a good day.害羞草研究所�
The inn is composed of three separate and very uniquely styled suites for two. They consist of theme-appropriate decor to fit the elaborate backstories crafted for each one.
The North Star suite headlines the inn being the first one to accept bookings prior to the hotel害羞草研究所檚 grand opening weekend. The Copper Crown and Under Hill suites are still under construction with no official date set for the opening, but Sawatzky is hoping to have all three open to guests by 2026.
Sawatzky stated the idea for the inn came when he and his wife Hailey were vacationing in Europe. The couple spent the night in a tower room while staying in a manor outside of Rome.
害羞草研究所淚t wound up these spiral staircases and it was just this, you know, tiny little room but it was really well done,害羞草研究所� said Sawatzky. 害羞草研究所淲e thought to ourselves 害羞草研究所榯here害羞草研究所檚 really nothing like this around us害羞草研究所�.害羞草研究所�
Stepping into the completed North Star suite, it害羞草研究所檚 evident that every detail has been meticulously curated.
The tucked away entrance leads you through a private garden filled with luscious greenery and 害羞草研究所渕ythical害羞草研究所� artifacts.
The sound of traffic is quickly drowned away by the waterfall cascading into the surrounding stream before the sounds of both are muted as the heavy wooden main door closes behind you.
Once inside, it害羞草研究所檚 easy to believe you害羞草研究所檝e truly stepped into the captain害羞草研究所檚 quarters of an old ship. The furnishings all boast a mythical aura, from the bed perched up high in the 害羞草研究所榮tern害羞草研究所� of the ship surrounded by figureheads, to the magnificent towering ceiling painted to resemble a beautiful aqua sky.
The experience will be highlighted though by the modern touches that have been tastefully incorporated. A soaker tub is tucked into the corner of the suite only a few steps away from the spacious bathroom with a traditional vanity and stand-up rainfall shower.
The Sawatzky name may be one that people recognize, with the family being behind the notable company Imagination Corporation. The company, led by Peter害羞草研究所檚 father Dan, has been designing and constructing custom architecture for decades, with their goal being to create imaginative worlds that take people from everyday life to places of 害羞草研究所榙elight and wonder害羞草研究所�.
The family害羞草研究所檚 creations are spread all over the world, with the local Cultus Lake Adventure Park being one of their most notable works.
With this new local landmark, the Sawatzkys seem to have nailed it again.
The family takes pride in their work, often holding themselves to an incredibly high standard. Their current team is made up of just eight people, working on almost all of the construction required with any work that does need to be contracted out, given almost exclusively to local businesses.
害羞草研究所淲e害羞草研究所檙e not looking to be kings of the world,害羞草研究所� said Sawatzky. 害羞草研究所淲e just want to build cool stuff, and great things take time.害羞草研究所�
The open house will take place on Saturday, June 1 following the Yarrow Days Parade at the Hazelnut Inn at 42402 Yarrow Central Road.
