Meticulously constructed of logs and river rock over 39 years, beginning in 1889, Cardston's landmark Cobblestone Manor is now a refined restaurant, with bed and breakfast accommodation for out-of-towners.
Belgian finish carpenter Henry Hoet purchased the original log home in 1913 and began adding round cobblestones from local Lee Creek, as well finely detailed ceilings made of hardwood scraps recovered from the construction of Cardston's Alberta Temple, the focal point of Mormon life in the province.
Hoet, according to local lore, built the mansion in anticipation of bringing over his sweetheart from Belgium. But she never came, and the master craftsman died a bachelor.
There are two bedrooms offered at $75.00 per couple. Both bedrooms, accommodating up to five persons, can be rented for $150, breakfast included.

Words cannot describe Hoet's exquisite workmanship! It is unbelievably beautiful - a living work of art. We had a warm Christmas welcome awaiting us - complete with turkey dinner served in style, right next to the fireplace in the stained-glass dining room! Plus, a fascinating tour after a hearty breakfast the next morning. A memorable Christmas!
