The Swift House Inn is located in historic Middlebury, Vermont. A 21 room former governor's mansion offers the essence of New England warmth. Inside, candlelit dinners await you. Large, comfortable rooms offer modern amenities in period decor. Relax. Sip a glass of wine by the fire, or ponder your favorite book in the library while the kids explore the garden or sled on a nearby hill. Every window frames a picture of country tranquility, yet shops, museums, and Middlebury College are a short walk away.
The Main House, the most historic, is a Federal-style mansion with all the hospitable elegance you would expect in a governor's home - marble sinks, crystal doorknobs, push-button light switches and a fascinating collection of nooks and crannies. The Swift Room, once the master bedroom, still displays the old brass internal telephone that Mrs. Swift used in Woodrow Wilson's day.
The adjacent Carriage House, which was fully modernized in 1990, provides spacious rooms with king-size beds, queen sleeper-sofas, and all the comforts of home. Luxuriate in your own private Jacuzzi, or walk down a flight of stairs to bask in the steam room or sauna. The Carriage House conference room and adjoining guest room have a private patio which leads to a walkway that weaves through five acres of spectacular lawns and gardens.
You may prefer the Gate House, a Victorian gem complete with porte-cochere and wraparound porch. The interior is a pastiche of ornate woodwork and stained glass. Spend the evening next to the fire, or enjoy a game of Scrabble in the parlor. All rooms come with luxurious linens, handmade quilts, Internet data ports, and private baths. Antiques grace every corner
