Blaylock Mansion

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! Justin + Esme

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.

It was wonderful to wake up with a magnificent view and to walk around the beautiful gardens. Host was great. Loved it and would recommend it to anyone wanting to experience a night in a prestigious historical mansion.

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!!

We recently had our wedding hosted at Blaylock Mansion and we were blown away with the venue, staff, food, and help we received. Our guests, and our selves, loved the rooms. Everything was clean and felt so on theme with the 1930's mansion. The food every morning was delicious, and the staff treated us all so well. In total I was there for 5 nights and the owners and staff were amazing each day with helping find items, cleaning, answering questions, and being lovely in general. A huge thank you to the owners and their staff, the Mansion was an absolute dream wedding venue! We can't wait to come back to enjoy the grounds and accommodations again in the future.

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!

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?

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.
