Phineas Swann Inn & Spa

Great experience. Breakfast was especially good. Rooms clean and comfortable. The owner sat with me for a time and shared some great stories.

Very nice Inn, the owners Darren and Lynne do a great job of having everything you may need close at hand including many complimentary snacks and treats, excellent beer and wine for purchase and a beautiful spa for guests to use. I stayed in the main house, very well kept but a bit noisy with creaky floors and small rooms as you find in a house of that age. Excellent breakfasts, I would stay here again.

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!

Great location, breakfast and amenities!

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!

This was the perfect location for our ski vacation in Vermont. Darren & Lynne are the best hosts who provide a home away from home experience with comfy suites, delicious breakfast and spa facility! We hope to return to Phineas Swann in the future.
