    We stayed two nights in early October. Since we came on the train without a car, Neil kindly picked us up from the station, and gave us a ride whenever we needed one. The B&B is on the edge of town so the rides helped when we had luggage, but really it was only a short and pleasant walk to Main Street for shops and restaurants. And we had the added treat of a visit by a family of deer who silently entered the front yard and gazed at us while we enjoyed cups of tea on the porch at sunset. The room was lovely, the breakfast was fantastic, and the whole experience was warm and memorable.

    Great place!

    Neil and Darleen were perfect hosts. He picked us up from the train station and dropped us back into town for dinner. The house is beautiful, and so quiet! We slept like babies, and woke to a hearty and delicious breakfast. The surprise ingredient in the cinnamon orange french toast was added entertainment... Its a pleasant 10 minute walk into town, which made for a nice stroll back after dinner. Walking up mount beacon was a lovely way to work off our breakfast and enjoy the view. Subtle touches (fresh cookies, a couple of corkscrews placed discretely in view for your use) made us feel very much like welcome house guests. We definitely recommend it for a relaxing and romantic weekend getaway.

    Such hospitality!

    A group of seven of us stayed in the Tranquility room and Red Parlor room. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable. The food was great! Though we were asked to put in our order for breakfast the night before (we had a choice of spinach quiche, quiche lorraine, and pumpkin pancakes), Darlene let us have a taste of everything in the morning. Not to mention the fruit with sorbet and rugelach and cookies! Since we came up on a train from NYC and didn't have a car, Neil was nice enough to drive us into town and to the train station. Since there were seven of us, it would take two trips each time. It was a really great experience and Beacon is a pretty town so we'll definitely be coming back!

    We actually stayed at The Swann Inn in August, but had such a wonderful experience, that we are still talking about it in October! We realized that we hadn't written a review - and here we are... We live in Manhattan, and our train ride to Beacon was nothing short of a scenic delight. Upon arriving in Beacon, we were astounded by the quiet, quaint and romantic feel. We wandered down Main Street and found our way to The Swann (although Neil, one of the gracious innkeepers offered to pick us up at the train station). We stayed in the Green Room and fell in love with the decor - especially the clawfoot tub. We were lucky to arrive in Beacon on a "Second Saturday," when galleries and shops are open later. Neil drove us into town to take advantage of the gallery openings. The following morning, we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast of fresh fruit and french toast (with a secret ingredient!). Though we are not vegan, we noticed that the innkeepers offered vegan options for guests. Over breakfast, we were fortunate to have a wonderful conversation with Neil and Darlene who made us feel so at home...we will be back to The Swann Inn - and not soon enough!
