The property is a masterfully redone 1906 classic right across from the Moon River with gorgeous gardens and a great covered porch where the scenery is amazing. It is a perfect location because you can easily walk to everything in town and to The Kee for concerts. Room was spacious, bed was comfy. The AC kept us cool. The breakfast had excellent coffee and fresh fruit and other stuff. We had a blast using the kayaks, SUPs, and the BBQ, and the sunset views right there are stunning. I can’t wait to go back.

Our stay at The Cranberry Moon Inn was fantastic. This B&B was convenient located in Bala, which allowed for us to enjoy a variety of winter activities in the area. The B&B was beautifully finished. You really can see the thought that was put into how it was planned and decorated. The owners, Kim and Doug, were excellent hosts. They really catered to our every need.

Weekend on the Water and Concerts!!

Just stayed the weekend for a couple shows at Kee, and it was a perfect spot! Short walk to Kee to Bala, boat launch and dock across the street with free SUP and kayaks included. A hot tub and large shared deck for relaxing. Well-appointed suites in very clean and modern condition. Free continental breakfast, and above all else, great service from the friendly inn owners. Thanks, Kim and Doug! See you again! Adam & Ashley

This place is a brand new gem. Beautiful, spotless room, most comfortable enormous bed, one of the best showers I’ve ever experienced. Kim and Doug are the charming hosts. We had a delightful chat with them over a great breakfast on their lovely patio with a view of the river. Bala is a short walk, including the amazing Kee to Bala venue, where we were watching the phenomenal Tiny Horse open for the glorious Glorious Sons. A trip to remember for all the right reasons.
