Distinctively Iconic, Uniquely Historic

Built in 1877, the Balsley House recently renovated and reinvigorated bares witness to the inventor's success both as a master carpenter and entrepreneur. It boasts having an elegant dining room, a sumptuous parlor, a library room, a great room, a truly gourmet kitchen, six bedrooms, four and half bathrooms.

In addition to enjoying the house themselves, owners Clive and Geeta Wilson opened the Balsley House for short-term rental for others to enjoy at various intervals during the year to help make Dayton a destination spot for out of town visitors or the local community..
