Great Vermont B&B with a friendly vibe and terrific breakfast. Best place to stay in the Northeast Kingdom!Walkability: Several good restaurants are just a short walk away. Only 10 minutes to drive to Jay Peak.Noteworthy details: Not one, but two hot tubs. And you can get a manicure if you are so inclined.

We stayed here for a couple of nights for some rest and relaxation and it did not disappoint. The owners, Darren and Lynne have created such a wonderful experience for their guests. We do not ski, but this place is perfect for those wanting to be close to the slopes and have an amazing place to stay. We had the Trout River suite overlooking the river and it was so quiet. It had all the comforts of home with a full kitchen, private bathroom, bedroom and living room area. We walked out onto the deck and overlooked the beautiful river. Every morning they serve a delicious breakfast that will fill you up and you won't even need lunch. They have an on-site spa with full services which we took full advantage of. We both had great massages, they have two saunas as well as two outdoor hot tubs. There was a snowstorm while we were there and we had a great time sitting in the hot tub relaxing outside watching the snowfall. They have a wonderful sitting area where you can play games, as well as a lot of other little extras that are included in your stay. Did I mention that it is also pet friendly. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get away and have a wonderful time. We look forward to coming back in the future. Thank you to Darren, Lynne and the amazing staff here at Phineas Swann!!!

Went for a winter weekend away and got just that. What a nice place to come for relaxation or if you ski. We managed to book on a weekend that it snowed almost a foot. We enjoyed a couple of massages, some hot tub time and some good company. The staff was superb and friendly. This should be on a bucketlist. Thank you to the Dreviks and the staff for a wonderful stress free weekend.

The people who run this place are rude, intransigent, dishonest, and refuse to admit their own mistakes. They do not honor their reservations. My wife and I booked a 2-night package stay and were really looking forward to it. But later, they called and said 1) that the package THEY OFFERED wasn't available on those dates, 2) it was a threee night minimum stay, and 3) the price would be $1,000 more than the reservation was for. I asked how those things could be when I booked the reservation through THEIR OWN SITE. They just shrugged and said "we dunno how it happened, whatever, mystery computer error, sucks for you." They ruined our big plans for a romantic weekend, and didn't offer a thing in return. Its a bad sign for a bus8ness when THEY make a mistake and refuse to fix it even when it costs them zero money or time.They weren't even apologetic at all, acting as if it were my fault and nothing could be done. i said since it was THEIR MISTAKE, they should make it right by making a simple policy exception to their 3-night rule, but oh, nooooo! Instead of acting like good hosts and bending their (undisclosed) policy this one time, they acted as if it were a federal law or a holy edit carved in stone or something, and refused to bend an inch even though it would have been trivially simple, and cost-free, to do. They took no responsibility for their screwup and just casually blew away our plans without doing anything to fix it or even really apologizing. Their web site says they "do everything in our power to ensure a good stay." HA! That is a massive LIE! They had the power to make good on their mistake with zero effort on their part and did nothing. I call that terrible hosting, when you create a problem for a guest and refuse to fix your own mistake. So much for "everything in our power".Everyone avoid this place if you care about reliable reservations or trying to accommodate guests. Their web site is NOT ACCURATE and HIDES important information. They don't care and won't budge an inch for you. They have no honor or care to do even the simplest things.They say "we suggest you stay sonewhere else". I suggest that they FIX THEIR SYSTEM and not make guests responsible for errors that system makes. Note that in their response they don't mention any attempt to fix their problem because there was no attempt at all. They seem to think that because they called me that makes eveything ok.Noteworthy details: DOES NOT HONOR RESERVATIONS MADE THROUGH THEIR OWN SYSTEM!!

This was my second time staying at Phineas Swann, but first with the newer owners. The upgrades they have made are very nice, especially the new spa area in the back of the property with a new hot tub and saunas! We enjoyed them after cross country skiing and snowboarding over two days. The included breakfast was delicious. We walked next door for dinner at the Inn and to the other side of property for lunch at the bike shop. Great location in quaint Montgomery center.

My fiancé and I absolutely loved our stay! We are planning to have our wedding at the Phineas Swann in September, and we wanted to a weekend just the two of us to see what it would be like to be there. The food was amazing, our room was extremely cozy, and Lynn and Darren were friendly, attentive, and really wanted to make sure we enjoyed our stay! I can’t wait to be back!

We had a phenomenal stay at this location for a Jay Peak ski vacation. We stayed in the Retreat Room which was perfect for us and our son. It was meticulously clean, cozy, and comfortable. The hosts couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating. We loved walking around their well thought out and beautiful property. We enjoyed the hot tub, the outdoor heated igloo, the spa, and the generous treats / snacks offered. It was also very convenient to purchase excellent wine on the property. We HIGHLY recommend this property for their location, great accommodations, delicious breakfast, and friendly owners.

Lynn & Darren went above and beyond to accommodate us. The spa was incredible. Massage, mani, pedi, saunas etc were amazing. Breakfast was splendid. They let us keep our room after checking out for the day as we were doing their Valentines dinner which like everything else was amazing. Absolutely will go back!

We stayed for two days for skiing at Jay Peak, very close to the resort. The location is great, and the breakfast and staff were amazing. Our dog also loved it; the staff took him for a walk while we were skiing, even though the outside temperature was in single digits. It's a great place, 10/10 recommend.

Lovely Inn, plenty of character, with unique property to go along with it. Owner upgraded our room to a suite when they heard it was our anniversary, which was so kind. Breakfast was very good. Would love to go back and explore the area more, one day.
