Delicious morning pancakes. We enjoyed the tv free vibe.

Fabulous stay in a delightful quirky venue. The host was welcoming and helpful. He provided an excellent breakfast including plenty of delicious gluten-free options for me as a coeliac. The room was great and the communal spaces had really interesting decor and provided friendly places to meet other guests. The beautiful outdoor spaces were also a bonus in the great weather.

I traveled up by train for the Mad Marathon, which is walkable right in town. This was the perfect place to stay off my feet pre-race, and recover post-race. When I had trouble locating an Uber/lyft, the owner generously offered to give me a ride to the train station, above and beyond!

We enjoyed our stay in the Log Cabin room at the Inn. Convenient to Sugarbush (less than 10 min drive) and three mins to restaurants. Inn was clean and cozy! Frank was friendly and makes great waffles!

Our stay at the Swanson Inn was good for the value we paid. While hotel rooms anywhere in the Stowe/Waterbury were in the $3-500 range, we got a king bed ensuite room at the Swanson for less than $200 which was our primary focus when booking this place. The bed was comfortable and the room and bathroom were clean. However, there wasn't a traditional keyed lock on the door for the room we had and unfortunately there was very minimal water pressure for both of our showers. Completely understand it's an inn from the early 1900s and it was charming, but we booked under prior ownership and it appears the new ownership may still be figuring some things out. Based on the price point, I would certainly consider staying again, but would hope for some slight improvements on for the next stay.

A beautiful rural setting a healthy and delicious breakfast. The building is old but comfortable.

The location is good. Close to trails and park. There was road noise but acceptable for being closest to the road. We didn't like the bathroom, though unshared, was in a hallway accessible to many of the current residents. We stayed in the only room that didn't have an ensuite bathroom. We were told the other patrons were informed not to use it. We did lose power in the building at night but it seemed to reset itself after about an hour. The owner was very helpful and the breakfast was nice.
1.0 / 5.0
The room I reserved did not have a working lock. The owner knew about it, and told me about it after I had checked in, and just kind of laughed it off because the doors were old. The room had a bunch of bugs in it. This room should not be available until these issues are fixed.

We enjoyed our stay at the Swanson Inn. It was recently purchased by new owners, and they were incredibly accommodating and welcoming. Breakfast was an added bonus. It was very conveniently located near Sugarbush Resort. I would definitely stay here again if we return to the area.

Our hosts were lovely. It felt like they were welcoming us into their home. There were even fresh baked cookies available to take in the common areas. The room was so comfortable and the breakfasts home cooked and exquisite. The Inn is just a few minutes away from Sugarbush ski resort. We were thrilled with the hospitality and the comfort of our room and will be back!

Host was extremely knowledgeable about both local and statewide places to visit and eat as he is a native of Vermont. The breakfasts are works of art and he makes sure each guest is satisfied. The evening table deserts were a pleasant and delicious surprise.

I was attending a wedding nearby and this inn was perfect. Location was great, close to restaurants etc.
It was immaculate and very quaint. The bed was extremely comfortable and the en-suite bathroom immaculate. A very nice breakfast was served including a frittata, home fries, muffins, fruit and yogurt. Tim was friendly and helpful. Would stay there again if I return to the area.

If your travels bring you to the Mad River Valley, make sure you stay at the Swanson Inn. It's quaint and comfortable and a great location for exploring this beautiful part of the country. The hosts are two of the kindest and most welcoming people you'll ever meet. Breakfast is delicious and plentiful, and there are home made cookies in the afternoon. Make sure you are there on a Sunday because they have pie served with coffee or tea from 3-6pm that you won't want to miss!
We were there for the Mad Marathon, and Tim offered to make breakfast early for the runners staying there. He didn't care how early we wanted it, and he offered to make us whatever we are used to eating before a race. We had a fantastic three night stay and I can't recommend the Swanson Inn highly enough. You won't be disappointed!

Beautiful old house, but well maintained, in the middle of the nature.
The hosts, Tim and Rick, are great and did the best to make us confortable, not to mention the delicious breakfast.
The room is small, but it’s cozy. Bathroom is adjacent and private, good shower.
There are a few living rooms in the ground floor, very nice and cozy.
Definitely a place we want to return.
