Ephraim at the front desk was extremely helpful, kind and patient. Was willing to adjust our reservation for us to help us stay the second night. Thank you!

Our whole experience was excellent, staff were excellent and very friendly . We loved it , would definitely stay there again.
jacqueline, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was quiet and serene. Located just far enough from the hustle and bustle areas with people. My room overlooked the front of the property. It was cozy. I also love the various sitting areas inside and outside on the long porch. I love how Well Bread Bakery is right across the street and the entire village/town is small enough to walk around in under 30 mins. It’s like a hidden secret. Definitely recommend if you want to get away for solitude.
Karen, 2-night trip

Charming, spacious room, friendly and helpful staff. Very comfortable bed with beautiful linens. Great stay.
Frazier, 1-night trip

A wonderfully designed hotel with a great ambience and quiet comfortable rooms.
Christopher, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The location was close to Los Olivos and good for a one night stay. The room was comfortable, but somewhat dated. The front door key we were given didn’t work, and we had to call the emergency number to get in after we returned from dinner. They answered on the second call and we got in.

Roseanne, 1-night trip

Great location, warm service but limited. The rooms are comfortable, fire places are great, the bathrooms are nice. The common areas are super cozy. The breakfast was very good, could have been great but no eggs cooked to order. Overall a 4.5.
Don, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We liked the overall ambience and coziness of the property. It was mostly quiet and we were able to relax. The staff was friendly and knowledgable. It was in a quiet location (which was what we were looking for). They serve complimentary breakfast which we enjoyed. They were supposed to provide a welcome drink when we arrived, but that was never offered to us. The property had plenty of nice places to sit down inside and outside of the property. There were games available. The room itself was cozy and clean. The bed was comfortable. It did not have a TV or refrigerator in the room, but it is mentioned in the list of amenities. Pretty close to wineries and within a reasonable distance to restaurants, etc., Overall, we were happy with our stay.

Cuuute and Comfy

I loooved our quick stay at The Ballard Inn! Comfy beds, cute decor throughout this comfy BnB. Staff was very nice. Breakfast was simple, but it’s nice to have a cook-to-order for a free breakfast! I would come back here again if I’m in the area!
Stephanie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely weekend.

The hotel is very nice with an air of effortless elegance. The front desk personnel were friendly and helpful. They kindly offer fresh water, wine and cheese free of charge every day around 4pm. They could improve the quality of the pillows...they were too high for me. We spent the weekend at the hotel and enjoyed it very much. Definitely coming back!
