It was a beautiful little hotel. A lot of nice touches that made it super welcoming. The staff were accommodating and it was overall a lovely, easy experience!
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.
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.
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.
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
Really enjoyed this historic hotel. Comfortable bed and bedding. Great continental breakfast and coffee. The Durfur Historical buildings are just up the street.
The grounds and building are a fantastic surprise in such a small town.Great food and fun vibe. Staff is superb!

Our stay was delightful! The staff was welcoming. We especially enjoy the breakfast; healthy and attractively server in an amazing beautifully restored elegant dining room. The Balch provides a restful elegant non- cookie cutter stay!
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
