"The Ballard Inn is my favorite place to stay in the Santa Ynez Valley wine country. It's a modern bed & breakfast with old world style. The rooms are spacious and many offer king size beds. The restaurant is outstanding - Chef Budi (who also owns the inn) has a well deserved reputation for high end ..."food. Go for the weekday package that includes $100 toward dinner - you won't regret the room or the meal.

This caused a slight issue in the morning when we were both trying to log in to read our local paper and check email. Overall it was a nice place to stay.

One of the main pleasures is the happy hour every day that includes wine and a nice spread of cheese, fruit, and some other appetizers. The wrap-around porch has rocking and deck chairs and makes a relaxing place to just sit and breathe in the fresh air. Cell phone reception is spotty at best, but that just adds to the relaxing atmosphere.
We have used the golf package for the River Course at Alisal and the dinner package that includes a dinner at the Ballard Inn. What grea...
