The Ballard Backyard Cottage is a charming, cozy oasis - and it's exactly as described. We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay while visiting our son's family who live in the area. This was SO much nicer than staying in a Ballard hotel. The queen bed is very comfortable, the bathroom is spacious, the kitchenette is very well equipped, and the french doors and patio are welcoming. Bev and Grant are delightful and are available to help anyway possible. We look forward to returning!
