Kenneth, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This place is charming in every way imaginable. The staff, the room, the architecture, the town. It was a lovely place to stay the night making my way home on a long road roadtrip.

Lots of outdoor seating in their lush little gardens

10/10 Excellent

The "bones" of Dufur are a 1900 farming community, now close enough to The Dalles to attract a few commuters but not close enough to be the stereotypical bedroom. The downtown, and the Balch Hotel are surrounded by Wheat fields. The best part is the outstanding hospitality of the staff... and of the community generally.
Jerald, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Stumbled on this place following a long drive. This place is spectacular. Very nicely restored. Built in 1907. Every detail including the furniture and decor is from the era. Great history! A view of Mt Hood. Breatfast was included. Can't say enough. Would definitely stay there again.
Raymond, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful owners and spa experience. And the food in the dining room was also great. Sweet little small town gem.
Michael, 1-night trip

Historic with wonderful views. No elevator
Sarah, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Really liked the atmosphere, such a fun place to stay. The entry and library and outdoor patio were so nice to sit and relax and read a book. Note that many of the bathrooms are shared-luckily the hotel wasn’t full when we were there so no one to share with. They could do a lot better with decorating-getting some time-period/era art on the walls, instead of the tacky amateur art for sale. So much potential they are on a good start

It was so nice to be able to step back in time for a couple of days. Very relaxing, safe and awesome staff.
Bruce, 3-night trip

Super friendly staff! Peaceful surroundings. Amazing architecture and history.
Teri, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very unique. It's a step back in time. Don't expect modern resort but you will get friendly authentic service provided by local people who bend over backwards to fulfill your needs and interests. Dufur is a very small old rural historical town in, what some would call, the middle of nowhere. If you want seclusion and enjoy country walks or bike rides and meeting really interesting people the Balch Hotel is for you as it was for us. The people really are fantastic. Debr helped us with a sticky situation because of some booking confusion and I can't say enough about her spirit of problem solving and meeting her customers need
Scott, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A gem in the tiny town of Dufur Oregon. If you are in the neighborhood and need a place to stay, this one is my recommendation!
