5 out of 5Best Inn Ever!
February 23, 2013
Ballard House Inn is a gem! Loved every aspect of our stay. The home is lovely and beautifully decorated, and its wonderful hosts, Lynne and Brian, welcomed us as if we were family! We enjoyed a thoughtful complimentary soda and wine bar, and warm cookies in the afternoon. Breakfasts were delicious! Our rooms were delightful, comfortable and immaculate. The inn is perfectly situated just a minute from the Big Lake, overlooking a beautiful vista. Swim, boat, ski, hike, dine, shop.....well, you get the idea. You will love this inn just as we did!
5 out of 5Wonderful service, rooms, and breakfast!

Brian was an amazing host. We arrived a bit early, and when Brian met us at the door, he informed us that our room wasn't quite clean yet, and brought our bags inside. When we let him know we had planned to visit the Weirs Beach area before settling into the room, he suggested the quickest route, and some recommended activities for the evening. When we returned, he apologized for not having the room cleaned (again, we were early), and he had upgraded us to a suite! The room was very spacious, and the house had an amazing character. You could tell Brian put a lot of time into the look and authentic feel of restoring the house. The bathroom was stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, and the view from the top floors was more than we could have hoped for! Breakfast was an amazing spread of fresh fruit, yogurt parfait, french toast, and fresh juice. We were so impressed with everything Brian was able to provide in the way of hospitality. There is complimentary beverages (water, soda, wine, beer) in a small refrigerator on the main floor, and the wrap-around porch has a nice love-seat porch swing facing the mountains. I absolutely would recommend anyone looking for a quiet, well maintained, exquisitely presented, rich with character room and house stay at the Ballard House. You will not soon forget your time in this fine B&B.

I stayed at the Ballard House Inn in the Winnepesauke Suite for 2 nights. During my stay, I was welcomed by the Inn Keeper, Brian, who made it very easy to get to my room. Even though I came up for only a short period of time for a wedding, I was very happy that I received such a warm welcome and my experience there exceeded my expectations, as I felt very relaxed with such great service and a comfortable room.

We enjoyed a lovely weekend with Brian and Lynn. They are very gracious and accommodating! Having chosen the Inn from a web-search, we were a little nervous if it would live up to what we expected to find. It more than did that! The breakfasts they served were delicious, the room was so comfortable with a beautiful view of the lake. The bed was comfortable and the sheets and towels soft and luxurious! They offered beverages 24/7 and it was nice to be able to get up early and make a cup of coffee or sneak down late for a glass of wine. We are making plans to return! It could not have been any more enjoyable!

This was our second visit this year and Brian and Lynn continue to out do themselves. Clearly, the number one B&B in the lake's region for all the reason's rated above. The Krautz are wonderful hosts and we can't see taking a trip to Northern New Hampshire without staying with them. With the Inn staying open for this coming ski season, we can't imagine a better place to stay, especially for Gunstock. Their beautiful barn would be perfect for storing ski equipment and making any last minute adjustments. Our in-room fireplace and complimentary wine and cheese in the evenings was appreciated. Again, the rooms and breakfast can't be beat at any price. We'll be back!

The Ballard House Inn is a lovely, old home that was orginally used as a college Inn for visitors. It has been carefully updated and decorated in Period furniture and decor. The pancakes and morning coffee are outstanding, the wine and evening soft drink bar always available; it is situated in the gorgeous scenery of the New Hampshire Lake District and hosted by a delightful and helpful owner who is anxious to make your stay as perfect as possible.

a wonderful welcome from Brian who is bubbly, warm and sincere. The inn is delightful, warm and cozy, decorated pleasantly , the only slight problem we found was no storage for clothing though there was somewhere to put your cases but we like to unpack but it didn't impact our stay. The dining table is great as you share breakfast with the other guests and the food was outstanding, we didn't realise this until we tried other breakfasts. Brian and Lynn will go out of their way to make your stay as perfect as it can be from ordering a pizza to dropping you off at a restaurant and collecting you. And last but not least Newton the oversize lab with an oversize heart is adorable, "a gentle giant" ee woukd have loved to take him home. Overall a awesome stay.

We immediately felt right at home in this beautifully preserved house. Brian is an attentive and resourceful host, not to mention an amazing cook. He made us feel welcome and helped identify some great places to eat and things to see for our brief fall leaf peeping tour.
