About this venue
We love to pamper our brides, grooms, and guests. You can expect an awesome guest experience with world class customer service. If you're looking for historic character and vintage charm in a rural setting, we make a sweet unique destination wedding location. The Balch Hotel is an award-winning, historic, 20-room boutique inn, brimming with romance and elegance. Experience the expanse and simplicity of the country with grounds that boast rolling hills, towering pine and fir trees, open spaces, a soothing pond and waterfall, and panoramic views of the Columbia Gorge National Scenic area. With over 300 days of sunshine, it's a sunny getaway centrally located in Dufur, Oregon, where the Gorge meets Oregon's High Desert. We are 13 miles south of The Dalles, a quick 1 hour, 40 minutes east of Portland, 3.5 hours from Seattle, and 2 hours from Salem or Bend.
