Phineas Swann Inn & Spa

Hospitality was amazing. Extremely clean and cute

My spouse and I were looking for a quiet, cozy winter retreat to enjoy with our dog to celebrate our anniversary. This was a perfect weekend - where to start? Dog-friendly: Finding someplace dog-friendly and not just dog tolerant was a high priority. Darren and Lynn are fellow dog lovers and were happy to greet our puppy as they showed us around. They also provided a complimentary dog bed, bowl, towels and treats. The pet fee is a flat fee rather than per night like most places. There are easy-to-find trash receptacles for dog waste, plus extra bags if you need them. It was easy to feel comfortable with our dog here, both in our suite and on the grounds outside. Our room: The dog-friendly Terrier Suite was warm, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the jetted bathtub, fresh robes and stocked mini fridge and complimentary snacks after coming back in out of the cold. We had the added bonus of being very close to the outdoor hot tub and the main house. Activities: We purchased the "I Hate Skiing" package, which included complimentary massages at the on-site Spa Vermont. Also included in the package were free snowshoe rentals - we enjoyed a lovely hike within short driving distance of the inn. This was all followed up by an afternoon in the hot tub and some of the local craft beers that are available to purchase on-site. The main house also offers a board game and DVD library, and a living room with a fireplace to sit and relax after a day of hiking or skiing. Food: Phineas Swann offers complimentary hot breakfast each morning (the blackberry stuffed French toast was a highlight!) as well as a breakfast bar. Snacks, sodas, coffee and tea are available in the main house. Beer and wine are available for purchase. There are a small handful of restaurant options nearby. Overall a wonderful weekend - we plan to visit again!

The folks at Phineas Swann gave our Brooklyn family the most needed break from city winter, even in sub-zero Vermont temperatures! Cozy, comfortable, plenty of room for all. The living room in the main house provided a convivial atmosphere after skiing, the prepared breakfast was delicious (and different each day), and Darren and Lynne were welcoming, hospitable and made things easy. Very good communication. We'll gladly stay again!

Great Northern VT Getaway! My kids and I enjoyed a magical 3 days in the Northeast Kingdom of VT. Darren and Lynn were amazing hosts, the Inn has lots of great amenities and is very charming! Highly recommended!

My two sons and I stayed here on a recent visit to Jay Peak. Our room had a queen in one room and two twins in the other room. The room had a great living room and everything was just perfect. We were greeted at the door upon arrival and shown around the property and right up to the room. We then walked up the street to grab a dinner at the local pub. Breakfast was great. We felt this was a great fit for our trip and will be back.

Warm welcome and quick tour of what came with our stay (which included cookies!). Settled down in our super cute room with plenty of pillows to choose from. The hot tub was relaxing in a nice setting. Walked down the street for dinner and had a very restful sleep. Very much recommend!
