Summary: The Ballard Estate is beautifully located. The views of the lake were stunning. I did not realize that there are 6 kitchenette’s and 1 main kitchen. Our large family thoroughly enjoyed this property
Steven A. Feb 4, 2025 05:24:56 AM
Summary: We really enjoyed the house perfect for our group.
Christine S. Oct 27, 2024 11:00:47 AM
Summary: My husband and I, our 6 children and their very young families joined together at this beautiful home. It was the perfect place for our gathering. Each family had plenty of individual space and the home also provided lovely and comfortable communal space so that we could all eat and be together for evening activities. Communication with the hosts was incredible and they went above and beyond helping us secure more porta-cribs and answering any questions in an extremely timely way. We enjoyed the beautiful setting and grounds, and the location was fantastic for our schedule. Though the home reflects its age, it is charming and has been carefully cared for and upgrades are beautiful. The carriage house was perfection and a wonderful addition to the historic home. The entire family loved it and we are so grateful for such a fabulous place to stay. It will provide memories for years and years to come. Thank you!

Summary: A group of ladies stayed at the house. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms with multiple kitchens. The house is 100 years old. It had a wonderful water view. The house requires some TLC both inside and out. We had an issue with pests inside the house. The manager brought traps but we still had issues with ants. The outside needed cleaning and the landscaping is overgrown.

Summary: We chose this property for our family Christmas (about 30 of us)! The house worked really well! Loved it, enough room in the back yard for games and got to watch dolphins each day! A short drive to a nice public beach! Great host! A child broke a window and we had no problem working with them to have it repaired! Covered by trip insurance!
Steven A. Feb 8, 2024 07:29:38 PM
Summary: Had big group and was perfect for our group. We were able to enjoy the house the yard and the amenities.

Summary: Great old house with updated kitchens. Had a group of 17 and we comfortably fit. Plenty of TVs and separate spaces to gather as a group and have some alone time. Recommend if you need a big space for a big group.
Becca S. Dec 6, 2023 10:00:36 AM
Summary: I cannot begin to express how much our family fell in love with this historical property. Absolutely beautiful and exceeded expectations of our group of 23 family members. Location was perfect and close to anything and everything you need.
Tim K. Oct 24, 2023 11:01:00 AM
Summary: It was nice to be able to block off sections of the property for privacy. Needs some better cooking pans but we made due. Fishing was great from the pier with shrimp and crabs.
Brandon C. Sep 1, 2023 11:01:08 AM
Summary: 8 families, 35 people, this location had enough room for us to play games and visit together, as well as have separate suites/areas where each family could have alone time. Its an older home (1914) so it does have its rough spots. But it had all the things that mattered: AC (dead of summer and we were cold!), Space, Parking, Location, Dock to see Dolphins (whoop!). Communication was great during our stay (only had 1 issue). We plan on booking again!
