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.
The Inn and the property are beautiful and charming. The location is excellent with access to Laconia, Weirs Beach, Meredith, Gilford, etc. The Innkeepers were very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was wonderful. Definitely recommend.
Bernadette & Dave are so nice & accommodating. The place is absolutely adorable and clean. Breakfast is always delicious and the complementary beer and wine fridge is such a nice touch. Love this place!!!!
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!

Wonderful hosted Bernadette and a charming immaculate house close to lakes and activities.
One of the best places I have ever stayed in !!!! Our hostess and her staff were amazing and I hope to return to stay there someday soon!!!!!!! My girlfriend and I are going to try and make this an annual vacation and we know exactly where we will be staying and it is The Ballard Hose Inn!!!!
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.
We loved our stay at The Ballard House. The hosts are so hospitable and the breakfast is outstanding. The beds were very comfy, as well! We hope to return again!
Bernadette is fantastic, she is so kind and is so accommodating. The rooms are cozy and it felt like home. I can’t wait to visit Meredith again to stay at the Ballard House Inn!
