Independent Ballard hotels

"Great staff! Would highly recommend if you have a pet with you. Front desk staff is amazing in every way."

"What a great find! We got a chance to stay in one of the cottages and it was roomy, clean, and quiet. There was a hot tub on our patio that we definitely hung out in and a fireplace in the living room for warming up at night. The staff is knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. Koi pond in the courtyard was just an extra bonus."

"We had a lovely stay. The staff and service were great. The other guests were friendly and thoughtful. I remember when they had the great restaurant, but it's now closed. I will return when I am in the area again. I particularly like that it's located away from the tourists, but so close to Solvang, Buellton and Los Olivos. "

"Friendly Staff, great room and comfortable bed. Fantastic visit!"

"The Ritz Bacara is beautiful. Driving in to the courtyard and being greeted immediately. Valet, bell service and check-in were a breeze and set the tone for relaxation and ease. Tiana was delightful. Our room was lovely. We took advantage of all 4 restaurants on property and were spoiled at all of them. Grant at San Setto, Dulce and Lucy at the Bistro, Joe at Angel Oak and Claire at the O Bar. Could not have had better service and the menus are diverse, the food is fantastic. We also enjoyed a cigar and cocktail at the Cohiba lounge. Kalad was gracious and the music was spot on. Yvonne delighted us with our wine flights at the on site wine bar. One of our favorite trips ever !!!!"
