Wonderful stay
My daughter and I had a wonderful time at the Ballard house. The host and hostesses were very kind and generous. The bed was super comfy! Everything was very clean and we felt very welcomed. The breakfast was amazing and the views from the deck can’t be beat. Very relaxing

Stayed just overnight when attending a concert at the Bank of NH Pavilion. Hostess enabled us to get in even late after the concert. Breakfast was delicious and lovely view. Would have liked to have time to stay and walk the lovely property.

Beautiful, friendly and clean
Just had a 1 night stay at the Ballard house for a recent concert at BONH Pavilion. Bernadette met us at the front entrance and introduced herself (very warm and friendly). Showed us around quickly (as we had to get going as soon as we checked in). Waking up the following morning we enjoyed an incredible homemade breakfast served on the back deck overlooking a mountain range and lake in the distance. Food was great, room was comfortable and incredibly clean as the rest of the Inn was. I will definitely be coming back here again when I have a little more time to spend in the area. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, yet friendly and picturesque landscape for a little R+R.

Bernadette was an amazing hostess who runs a truly hospitable place! I have not felt so pampered at an inn and hotel ever. All the little details are there and makes it so wonderful. Excellent chocolate chips cookies upon arrival and delicious breakfast before we left to top it off. We talked about a reason to go back the whole ride home!

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.
