There are countless details scattered through every bit of the Hazelnut Inn. It will undoubtedly take our guests many visits to see them all. Even so, each small detail is important as we visually tell our stories. The North Star’s private garden is entered off a small courtyard adjacent to the driveway. Once through the custom steel gate, guests climb four stairs to the walkway which parallels the lower waterfall. Guests then turn west as they cross a bridge over the tumbling waterway. It is sensory overload at this point with the ship stern balanced overhead, the giant round tower rising above and lush plants clinging to the abundant rock work. Amazingly, as they cross the bridge, many visitors miss the largest ‘artifact’ on display at the Hazelnut Inn - the jumbo-sized, stacked stone elephant who gazes serenely from the corner of the wall. We look forward to sharing this creation and all the others with the visitors to our open house on June 1… only twelve more sleeps left…
