Guest Reviews
Very cute b&b! Only complaints were our king bed was two twins pushed together (and the gap was noticeable) and the shower was very small, even for one average sized adult. Very friendly service, excellent location, and excellent breakfast!

We stayed on two different occasions, both times in main house which, along with carriage house, are well removed from Rte 7 traffic. The rooms are very well kept and comfortable. Room 20 has a private deck and entry. Breakfast is all you can eat and delicious. Staff very helpful. They let us leave vehicle here while we did bike tour inn-to-inn. Lovely grounds, plenty of parking, walk to...See More

My husband and i decided to elope and after viewing several b&b's we were lucky to have found the swift house inn. Not only is the property beautiful but the staff is absolutely amazing. Everyone was as friendly as could be. Our room was in the carriage house and was spacious, comfortable and peaceful. We had breakfast in the main house each morning and the spread was top notch....See More

I made a last-minute reservation after dropping my daughter off at Middlebury College for their language program. I was very pleased with the accommodations, and the Governor’s room specifically. It was clean, cozy, appropriately decorated, and quiet. The staff and owners were professional and friendly, and their genuine warmth added to my stay. Breakfast was great and I look forward to enjoying dinner when I return in late August....See More
