Jakobstettel Inn
Your Executive Retreat
by John R. Turvey
If you thought the Great Escape was a movie, you haven't stayed at the Jakobstettel Inn. Stepping through the front door into a world seemingly of a different era, cloaking you with a comfort that you may have missed in this lifetime, you'll be drawn into a warm, inviting sophistication that is totally unparalleled.. .and yet somewhat familiar. The Jakobstettel Inn is truly unique.
The Jakobstettel family
When you meet the team that's continuing the Inn's reputation for luxurious hospitality, you'll find that Monica Frey and Lori Barless are committed to much more than a job. To them, it's a lifestyle. Monica adds that, "It's a comfortable, back- home kind of feeling that encourages everyone to relax and set their own pace."
Many come here as a retreat from their normally hectic lives. They're rewarded with a memory of serenity and elegance that won't be forgotten. The quiet rooms, breakfast, exercise room, massage and pool ... of two varieties, billiards and swimming . . . are all served up by a welcoming staff who enjoy the Inn almost as much as the guests. In fact, the friendly attitude at Jakobstettel Inn is exactly what one would expect from such a famous Canadian Inn. There's pride that shines from those you know are happy to serve you. Nice concept.
Minding your business
For important company meetings, retreats and workshops, the Inn offers space with character that encourages fresh thinking outside the office. It's well known that people can imagine solutions with more clarity when they're not mired in the depths of a problem. Many companies have benefited from off-site sessions at Jakobstettel. Lori has helped design events and VIP Programs for client recognition and corporate incentives. And people have discovered it's an original way to collaborate on a special gift.
A great setting
Whether for business or pleasure, the Inn presents much more than a splendid historic building. It's an excellent opportunity to step into the great outdoors with miles of adjacent trails and 5 acres of private well-treed grounds including a beautiful rose garden. Or, if you prefer browsing, the quaint stores, restaurants, studios, and theatres of St. Jacobs are only one block away.
Jakobstettel Inn continues to receive accolades from industry peers including Select Registry, representing the top 100 Inns in North America. The Inn was named the corporate retreat for "The Millionaire in You" program of Daniel P. Reeve & Associates Inc.
For decades Jakobstettel Inn has represented the very best of St. Jacobs. It's an adventure worth taking; the best comfort you'll you ever discover outside your own home.
