What a joy to be able to stay in such a genuine historic building. We were originally going to stay in Nelson but the railway passed right under our window. As we were still trying to shake off our jetlag this was not an option.

And to my surprise there was still room for us at the Blaylock Mansion. We booked the presidential suite and enjoyed every minute of it. The lack of air-conditioning was a blessing. The bed had the softest of linnen I have ever experienced and what a rest we got.

On top of that there is the beautifull rock garden, the grandeur of the mansion itself and the warm welcome made it a memorable stay.

What a luck that there was a room available because it really should be booked full.

Highly recommended!

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.

This is a very unique property. Loved the gardens and pool. The owners of the property are so kind and take great pride in keeping the mansion in mint condition. We loved learning about the history of the home. If you are looking for a cool experience I recommend this place. It’s 10 minutes from the town – well worth the drive.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Note, this is definitely a bed and breakfast as opposed to a conventional hotel. Please note there is no A/C, there is no way they could put it in without ugly window units. However the history here is unbeatable in the Kootenays, absolutely stunning garden, grounds and architecture. Rooms are spacious and clean with a charming feel. Full sized lane pool is awesome. I can’t imagine the amount of money it takes to maintain this place to this standard.

A few things for management to note: Carpet in the games room needs a cleaning. Also, you have this beautiful full sized snooker table. However, the the cues are broken/rough and the chalk needs to be replaced, what’s the point of having a nice table if it’s literally unusable?

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!!
