A Place to Relax & Enjoy:
the BraeBurn Inn
With hills of the Qu’Appelle Valley to the south and east of it, and trees, grass and bushes surrounding it, the BraeBurn Inn feels like a small piece of paradise. It is just within the boundaries of the Town of Fort Qu’Appelle, and within minutes of all four lakes, two provincial parks, two wonderful golf courses and a ski hill, plus the downtown area of Fort Qu’Appelle.

Our Background
The BraeBurn Inn was built as the Valley Trails Motel in 1956. The name was changed to the BraeBurn Inn in 1998 by the previous owners. It was renovated in the 90’s and has been completely redecorated since 1999. Renovations continue to date, including two rooms made wheelchair accessible with permanent outdoor ramps by 2011. All the beds and bedding have been renewed, as well as all of the furnishings.
Geothermal heating and cooling was added in the fall of 2008 . The Exercise Room was completed in 2011. The Office was moved and completed in 2012. Renovations to our singles, Rooms 13, 14 and 15 were completed by 2016 with further renovations to Room 13 in 2024. We updated Room 16 in early 2022 to a one-bedroom apartment for stays of a week or more.
Our Owners
Beverly & Pieter van der Breggen took over the corporation 624035 Saskatchewan Ltd. which operates the motel as the BraeBurn Inn in July of 1999. Their eldest son, Ab, is also a shareholder of the corporation and works full-time for the motel.
Bev and Piet are no strangers to the area having lived in the Village of Fort San since 1984.
Bev has a background in bookkeeping and administration and served as Administrator of the R.M. of North Qu’Appelle for 20 years, retiring in January 2012.
A local volunteer, she was honoured in 2019 as a Regina YWCA Women of Distinction Awards Nominee for her contributions and commitment to our community.
Pieter handles some of the day-to-day operation of the motel including the books, scheduling and this site, but doing the yard work is his ‘happy place’. He ensures that this corporation, although small, is a good corporate citizen in support of various local community events and organizations, as well as larger provincial, national and international organizations. His background is corporate communications, site design and newspapers.
Ab is in charge of cleaning, repairs and renovations as well as much of the technical stuff needed. He is pretty much solely responsible for executing room and wall-art designs which he and Pieter dream up. Ab has a background in restaurant management and is trained in restaurant and hotel management, passive building design and solar panel installation.
Our Name
The name, BraeBurn, was derived from two Scottish words, brae and burn. Brae meaning “hills” and Burn, “river”–thus River of the Hills. Although Pieter’s parents came from the Netherlands, and the van der Breggen name reflects that Dutch heritage, he likes the Scottish flavour of the inn’s name.
