Qualifie cet endroit de spa est totalement exagere. Il y avait bien une table de massage installée dans le solarium mais personne sur place pour offrir le service. En octobre malheureusement la magnifique piscine était hors service. Le manoir est magnifique mais le décor a perdu son lustre depuis fort longtemps. De vieux meubles trainent ici et la, de la vieille moquette défraîchie recouvre l escalier, les murs manquent cruellement de peinture fraiche. Une attention speciale est donnee au splendide et immense jardin, dommage que le reste des installations ne beneficient pas de la meme attention. Il est malheureux de voir les deux belles grandes serres laissees a l abandon et encombrées de vieux meubles de jardin, tout comme les vieilleries laissees devant l entrée des visiteurs. Lors de notre arrivee, il n y avait personne pour nous acceullir. Le petit dejeuner est correct. L endroit manque de chaleur.

We had our wedding weekend at Blaylock. Everything was amazing! They worked with us to bring our vision to life. They were helpful for every request we had and we were able to do everything as if it we were in our own home. Brett and Jennifer made us feel so welcome and were truly incredible.

Our guests loved their rooms and the mansion was just beautiful as were the gardens and the estate. The views are unbeatable and the grounds are just gorgeous.

Our wedding looked incredible and it was unforgettable. If you want a wedding like that, definitely consider this place.

My husband and I recently stayed at Blaylock Mansion and we really enjoyed our time there. We felt so at home in the whole house. We were greeted by Brett who gave us a tour and told us some of the history. It was a wonderful experience from the huge pool to the games room to Jennifer’s delicious breakfast on Saturday morning. We stayed in the Presidential Suite which was spectacular! Brett and Jennifer are a husband and wife who welcome you into their mansion and treat you like family. We loved it!!

If you want to take an amazing journey back into time and experience the height of early 20th century elegance and opulence then look no further - Blaylock Mansion is the place for you! My wife and I spent two nights there in November and were simply amazed with our overall experience. The mansion is filled with period furniture, photos, and memorabilia from the early 1900's. It's a beautiful and stately home that was built by an icon of the Canadian mining community and it's stood the test of time with dignity and grace.||Our room was located upstairs, and was large and comfortably furnished, with it's own ensuite bath. The main floor has a grand main entrance with a beautiful sitting room and large solarium on one side, and a dining room and memorabilia room on the other. You can order breakfast in the morning if you'd like, however all your other meals must be eaten off premises. We spent our mornings in the solarium enjoying the lake and mountain views, and our evenings in the sitting room by the large welcoming fireplace sipping brandy - our own, of course, and it seemed to fit the elegance of our surroundings very nicely.||The lower level has a billiards room with the original billiards table still very playable, and another sitting area to relax in. Every space is cozy and has a warm and luxurious feel to it. The grounds are beautiful - especially the rock garden - and must be explored to fully appreciate the majesty of this property. The swimming pool and tennis court were closed for the season however they would be very enjoyable during the warmer months. We visited Ainsworth Hot Springs, which is very close and well worth the drive to have a relaxing soak in a mineral spring.||Our hosts Guy and Teresa were fantastic and made us feel right at home! In fact we felt more like family friends than guests, and we were free to roam the mansion and grounds at our leisure. It was as though we'd stepped into a time machine and traveled back to a bygone era where things were simpler, and found ourselves in a tastefully elegant and beautiful home that would have been the envy of the community.||If you're looking for something truly unique, and enjoy history and appreciate quality, then this is a must-see place for you!

My wife and I had our wedding here in July 2024. It was absolutely beautiful and worth it. We did the "Keys to the Mansion" package that gave us basically 3 full days on site, with exclusive use of the property.

The cost for those 3 days was about the same that it would cost us for one evening at some locations in Vancouver - so the value is absolutely there.

Brett and his staff were super accommodating and hard working. They ensured that every detail on the day of was taken care of, and allowed us to be fully present in the moment of our big day.

We even forgot to get cups for coffee/tea service and one of his staff quickly went into town to get it for us.

The views are absolutely remarkable and our wedding photos look like they are out of a magazine.

We did get really hot weather that weekend, and it being a heritage building it does not have air conditioning, but once again, Brett and his staff did everything they could to make us comfortable. I caught Brett setting up fans and filling up ice at midnight once.

I cant recommend it enough.

Thank you again Brett!

Our recent stay at the Blaylock Mansion was a truly unique experience, far beyond what you’d expect from a typical hotel. It's clear that immense care and dedication have gone into preserving the history of this beautiful property. The mansion radiates charm and elegance, perfectly complemented by the serenity of the landscape and the stunningly beautiful gardens.||The attention to detail in upholding the mansion’s historical integrity is truly extraordinary. From the décor and furnishings to the architecture, every element has been thoughtfully preserved, allowing you to fully appreciate the vision and legacy of its original owner, Selwyn Blaylock. We have stayed at other historic mansions and this was truly the most peaceful and comfortable one we've stayed at so far. ||The warm and endearing hospitality from Jennifer and Brett was an added bonus, and their love for this property shines through every aspect of the experience. Staying here was a peaceful escape from the usual hotel experience, and we can’t wait to return. If you’re searching for a unique and unforgettable stay, Blaylock Mansion is an absolute treasure.

When is a bed and breakfast like a fairytale? When you're staying at the Blaylock Mansion, that's when!

This beautiful building is situated at the base of a forested mountain, facing a sparkling lake. The grounds are well-manacured with a clean, inviting pool.

The inside is well-maintained and smartly decorated. As weird as it might sound, the carpeting throughout the building is amazingly plush and maybe my (second) favorite part of The Blaylock. 🙂

But the best aspect of this establishment are the owners. Brett and Jennifer are warm and friendly. They welcomed us with open arms like family and made sure our stay was comfortable.

We will definitely return for another magical stay.
