My wife and I love this quaint hotel with great rooms, great decor, incredible common areas and awesome staff. Breakfast is healthy and sustaining, not quite what it used to be but still enjoyable. We love the entire experience.

If you like traveling back to a simpler time, this is a unique hotel for you along the Columbia River Gorge. It was a lovely setting and rooms were small, but quite comfortable and gave you an escape from the 21st century (no TV, turn of the century country appeal). A few simple improvements to make guest more comfortable would be to have forks out (no just spoons) for the breakfast and to have coffee out and ready by 6:00 am daily. Many early risers need that first cup before we develop a headache. On a Sunday there was no where to go in Dufur that had coffee, so it was a pretty painful wait to have a coffee pot out at like 7:45 or 8:00 am. Easy to do! Dinner, at Bistro 1907, however, was simple, but lovely, on a peaceful flowered garden patio. I will tell others the Balch is a good place to stay for historic charm. Thank you!

Give This Place A Try
This place is 110+ years old and really a delight to stay in because they haven't changed things very much. Gives you a snapshot of how hotels operated a century ago.

A little gem.
Delightful historic hotel. Come for the ambience and the experience of living in a shared space a hundred years ago... no in-room TV (but strong internet, don't worry!). Great staff, nice little packaged breakfast (could've been more food, but adequate). Cute boutique. Beautiful view.
