If you enjoy feeling like you’re intruding in an abandoned house, Swanson Inn is the place for you! I waited 45 minutes for check-in and there was no TV, how quaint! I woudl ve expected at least a complimentary drink for the hassle, you know, just some basic hospitality, but alas, I just couldn't recommend this place.

Finding the Swanson Inn was a hidden gem in the Waitsfield area. The charming decor gave the place a unique personality. I loved the homemade breakfast muffins—they were a delightful start to the day. The host was accommodating and even helped out with local hiking tips, which made our outdoor plans smoother. Our room, a Queen room, was clean and spacious, perfect for unwinding. However, the water pressure in the shower was on the weaker side, which made for a less enjoyable experience after a day out. Also, the room lacked a traditional keyed lock, which felt a bit strange for an inn. Despite these minor inconveniences, the warmth of the hospitality made the stay worthwhile, especially with the picturesque outdoor spaces to relax in after an active day. Definitely a great value for the price, but a few tweaks could make it even better.

A great spot for a weekend getaway with friends! We enjoyed mountain biking and relaxing at the inn. Tim and Rick made us feel right at home, providing us with fantastic meals and even helped with our laundry. The common areas were welcoming, making it easy to unwind after a long day. Highly recommend this place for its warmth and hospitality.

However, we did experience a slight hiccup with our late check-in as the hosts were busy with dinner service, which caused a bit of a delay in settling into our room.

self-service breakfast, unique late check-in experience, charming old architecture

The late check-in process felt like entering a ghost town!!! If you're expecting some basic comfort like a TV or amenities, you might want to rethink your choices!!! A little upgrade wouldn't hurt.

Nothing to dislike.

the outdoor areas were perfect for relaxing after long hikes. parking was a bit tight.

It was just a great fit for a weekend pause in Waitsfield with excellent value for money. I appreciated how they did our laundry after a long hike, which was a nice surprise. Make sure to check out the lovely backyard for relaxation.

the nearby ski slopes were fantastic. and the freshly made breakfast was a treat with unique options. relaxing in the garden area made our stay even better. the hosts were warm and genuinely attentive, offering great local tips and insights.

nothing, all great 😊

comfortable stay but minor downsides

The room offered a clean and spacious environment, making it a perfect retreat after a long day on the slopes. The breakfast cookies provided were not only a delightful addition but crucial for replenishing our energy as hungry skiers. The new ownership has certainly made a positive impact with their warm hospitality and the excellent avocado toast they prepared for us each morning.

i had a great stay at swanson inn of vermont. the queen room was clean, spacious, and super comfortable after a day of skiing. breakfast with delicious homemade waffles and avocado toast exceeded my expectations!

Can recommend for a fleeting moment

Cozy ambiance, attentive hosts, with beautiful outdoor spaces that provided a charming retreat after a long day of exploring and skiing nearby, while enjoying the convenience of free parking and a delicious breakfast highlighted by homemade waffles.

Charming inn with awesome breakfast!

We had a lovely stay! The cozy Log Cabin room was super comfy, and the homemade waffles for breakfast were downright delish. Frank, the host, was super helpful and even pointed us to a nice hike close by. Only thing is, the room could use a bit more lighting, but other than that, totally worth it!

Amazing breakfasts and warm ambiance. the homemade oatmeal was a delight! Just keep in mind the lack of a TV in the room. Would definitely come back!
