Beautiful B and B with amazing breakfast
Our host was incredibly friendly and the breakfast was marvelous. A wonderful place! Only small gripe - it is a very old house and the walls and ceiling are completely transparent to sounds… so can be a bit noisy depending on who is your neighbor.

The innkeeper was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and breakfast was good. Our room was on a very noisy road on the outskirts of town and needs updating. There are steep stairs leading up to the inn, then more stairs required to get to the rooms. They're not safe if you're carrying heavy luggage or have an injury or disability impacting your ability to use stairs.

A Warm Welcome
My wife and I would recommend the Ballard House to anyone. The facilities were spotless, and our hostess made us feel welcome from the first minute we arrived. The room in which we stayed was on the small side, but adequate for our needs. The common areas of the house are large and comfortable. Complimentary beverages, both hot and cold, were available 24/7. The breakfasts were amazing! They began with fresh fruit and proceeded to the main course, with whatever juices and hot beverages you might desire. Our first morning we had a stack of pancakes; the second a nice omelet. Alternatives/additional items like cereal, toast, etc, were available also. The wrap-around porch ends with a large deck in the back, with picture-worthy views of the lake and the surrounding hills.

This lovely old house serves as a B&B. Our room was very small, but we had a comfortable bed and our own bathroom. For one night that's all we needed. Sadly, we missed the breakfast which sounded yummy because we had to leave before the breakfast service began. They kindly left us some slices of blueberry bread and we made our own coffee in the morning to serve as breakfast. There was an excellent service bar for visitors offering complementary soft and hard drinks, ice, and ice water, coffee, tea, and wine. I would return when I need a room after a concert in the area.
