Harrison Hot Springs, Accommodation
Even though I live in the lower mainland, I needed a place to get away and de-stress. I knew of a brand new B&B that delivered just that and then some. Nestled in the Agassiz valley surrounded by beautiful mountains, Blackberrylane B&B pulled out all the stops to make our visit memorable.
Marlene's amazing homemade pie was the icing on the cake! If you're looking for tranquility, a place to hike or ride your bike, and still be just a few minutes away from civilization (Harrison Hot Springs), I highly recommend this wonderful B&B! www.blackberrylanebandb.com.
