The Ballard Inn is a charming B&B located in a beautiful semi-rural community a couple of miles south of Los Olivos. It is full of well-appointed nooks inside and outside to enjoy, including many games and books. The staff is very friendly and the breakfast is excellent.

A bit outdated but a great stay!
Overall a very great stay! The only detractor would be the age of some of the fixtures. The bathrooms could use some updating, the fixtures are all seemingly from the 60’s and 70’s and the toiletries all seemed more industrial supply. Otherwise, a very clean and quiet place to stay, Fireplace in each room with plenty of firewood to use, Alexa was absolutely attentive to anything we needed. The breakfast each morning is just right and absolutely delicious! We would definitely recommend!
