The owners and staff of this inn are friendly and the grounds are spacious. It is a short walk to the village. Each room will have its own personality. The Mansfield Room could be lovely for a couple. This room has a private patio with cast iron furniture and a spacious Jacuzzi. The room is advertised as accommodating 4. We... More

I had a wonderful time at the Swift House Inn. It's on a corner very conveniently located to the main part of Middlebury, but situated on a lovely lot with lots of green (and probably lots of color in the fall) so that you get a country-ish feeling. They provide a weekly list of special activities in the area, such... More

We stayed in the Mansfield Room, which I chose because of the patio. There was indeed a patio, but there was no furniture, no place to sit except the ground. There was a fireplace, but no wood. There was nominally a heating/air conditioning system, but it did not work (and the charming concierge couldn't fix it), so the room temperature... More

The room was very nice but needed a little tender loving care . It was very clean, but a previous guest had scorched the rug with an iron. The sitting area's ceiling needs to be painted. The In was superb with welcoming people and a good restaurant for the evening meal. It felt like a home away from home. They... More

Excellent stay at Swift House Inn. Very unique and welcoming inn, with fresh coffee and cookies everyday. Gorgeous rooms, no matter what building you stay in. Comfy beds and very clean! Really want you to feel welcome and explore every nook and cranny of the local areas. (A must is the watering hole as they call it about a 15... More

From Asa when we arrived, to Tom and Daniella at dinner, to Susie at breakfast, our stay was a delight. The innkeepers were away, but we know that staff are a good indication of their quality. Comfy room with a fire, wonderful dinner, sense of calm and beauty on arrival. Thank you.

As owners, Michele and I were at our Annual Innkeepers Conference as we have done for the past 17 years. It's important to learn, improve and keep up with the changes in the industry. We have a wonderful team at the Swift House Inn and Jessica's Restaurant and have complete confidence that the guest experience will be consistent . It... More

From the fresh baked cookies, fruit, coffee and tea at your fingertips, the Swift House Inn really has your best interest at heart. We have stayed there 4 times now (we have a daughter at Middlebury College). The breakfast is pure Vermont charm and they are very good about accomodating any eating preferences (my husband is gluten-intolerant). The owners, Dan... More

We stayed in the lovely old gate house with rich accommodations and antique furniture. Wifi was spotty. We were happy to have a window a/c unit but it was loud, and the automatic shut off meant it woke you up when it kicked back on. We really enjoyed our visit… it felt like we were staying with a wealthy old... More

We recently visited Swift House as returning guests. We were welcomed, remembered as having been there previously, and, again, enjoyed our visit! The staff here is top notch; the owners are personable and engaging and everything is done with the focus of caring for their guests. Fireside breakfast is pure Vermont and delicious!

We appreciate the feedback which gives us the opportunity to understand and improve our operations, particularly interactions and service to our guests . Michele, the Owner/Innkeeper, interacts with guests during breakfast service and when needed during the rest of the day. She is at the Inn all day, every day, and if a guest is around the Inn during the... More
