Great Resort! Cabin #5 was huge! Very comfortably held 12. Cabins were very clean and well appointed. Staff in the restaurant/bar were very friendly, excellent service. Our charted captain Tilden got us on fish right away. Limited out. Highly recommend Ballards

Fished 2days, part of 6, got our limit both days. Fished with two separate guides, both fabulous (one new this year, but local. Prices appropriate for food, drinks and amenities. Cabin fully furnished with linens, dishes, very clean and easy walking distance to launch/dock. Definitely plan to re...

I have been coming up for a few winters in a row for guided ice fishing trips. It has always been a good time. The ice houses are warm and the staff is always friendly. The rooms are cabin like, which are expected, but you can easily cook there. The bar and restaurant serve good food

Fantastic day of fishing! 2 of us caught a total of 126 walleye & sauger, 1 northern and 4 eelpout. Only thing better was the service and how everyone did a great job from the booking to the fishing cleaning! Chris was our guide / Driver and was very helpful and fun to talk to.
Thanks again for th...

Very helpful staff, food in the bar was above average and very reasonably priced. Rented a fish house for a day and the house was very nice, they checked on us numerous times throughout the day. Cleaned our fish and brought them right to the bar for us.

2019 this was my 5th year coming to Ballards resort, I'd give it 10 stars if I could.
Nick & Jessie have been so nice every time I run into them when I'm there.
In fact, all of the staff are great, from the office check in people, the fishing guides, very mature and professional, the bar and rest...

I've been going to Ballard's resort the third week of February the last 4 years. It's always been a fun time and the food is delicious. The cabins are great with all the amenities, but their beds need to be replaced or turned. They're very soft and my back aches every morning. Also, their water stin...

They cooked our catch to perfection on the first day. They have a nice sports bar attached to the restaurant. T...

Our 2nd stay at the resort. Captain Travis was an excellent guide and boat captain. He put us on the fish, and did an excellent job piloting the boat safely thru heavy seas. He was right there when someone needed to have a fish netted or a minnow put on the line. As usual, the food and service we...

I had a spectacular time at Ballards resort. Everywhere from the food to fishing was top notch. The rustic fishing net decor combined with the ambient lighting creates a feeling you won t soon forget. The cherry on top was the customer Service. Excellent customer service from the bartenders, servers...

Start with the good: the restaurant has about the best food and service on the south end of Lake of the Woods.

But the not so good: hotel rooms are not very clean. We got into our room and a towel from the last guest was still hanging on the shower. When we let our toddler crawl on the floor for ...

On June 16, 2020 I treated my dad, father-in-law, nephew, and two friends to a chartered walleye fishing excursion with Ballards on Lake of the Woods. We did not stay at their resort, we only booked the fishing excursion. We met Captain Andy on the dock at 8:00 am and boarded the boat. We left the d...

The owners hands on approach to their business is a ...

The cabins were great, the people were friendly. Our guides took the time to tell us about the area, it's history and geography etc. and the staff was super helpful when we were planning our trip. The wait staff were super friendly. The only drawback was the food, which was good but not great. W...

Go fishing here once a year. Nice cabins, great food, fantastic service. Boat captain Scott, kept us on fish for our 3 days of fishing. I choose the full meal plan so we do not have to do anything. We fish, eat, have a few drinks, sleep and repeat. Love the place!
