We stayed at the lovely Ballard Farmhouse for a little over a month while renovations were being done on our condo, and it was a delightful experience, truly a home away from home. I appreciated the well-considered and tasteful decor throughout the house, and everything was very comfortable. The way the rooms and windows are laid out provides a lot of natural light and pretty views of trees and yard while remaining impressively private from the neighbors. Angela was a thoughtful and communicative host, and always replied quickly to any questions or requests.
We really enjoyed the quietness of the neighborhood, it felt so peaceful, and our daughter loved swinging on the tree swing out front and meeting the friendly neighborhood cats. In the evenings we were able to walk just a couple of blocks west to see amazing sunsets over the water and hear the sea lions down by Ray's Boat house. Although the neighborhood is quiet, it is easy to walk to nearby small businesses, cafes, and restaurants.
