    This place was much better than we expected. Friendly innkeepers and service was outstanding. The area is beautiful filled with a lot of history, great parks and museums. The area also has great restaurants. I defitnately recommend this place for anyone! Before we left we were already planning our next trip there.

    Wonderful anniversary trip - great spot for a wedding?

    From the welcome note (we had arrived fairly late in the day), to the four kinds of homemade cookies waiting for us, to the pre-warmed bedroom we felt welcomed and pampered throughout our entire stay. Breakfast with fresh juice, coffee, scones, salmon and much more was filling and delicious. Judi, one of the many wonderful staff there, was extremely help and pleasant in discussing sites to see, the facilities at Sweetwater Farm, and people to get to know. The grounds include wonderful facilities for a wedding (Nancy and I are part time photographers). There is ample room in the very updated barn (central air conditioning and an elevator!) for very large celebrations. We enjoyed the various rolling hill views which included ponds, vineyards, and even Bishop, the beautiful horse used for carriage rides, as he breathed clouds of vapor in the beautiful morning sunlight. Quiet and restful, yet invigorating. Chris & Nancy Cameronia.com

    Sweetwater is wonderful!

    We've come back to Sweetwater four times during the past few years and will continue to do so. The ambience of the Inn, the beautiful setting, and the companion Grace Winery are simply delightful. The staff is professional, yet always welcoming, gracious and friendly. The family history associated with the Inn just adds to its charm. Breakfast (like the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes) are great! Sweetwater is highly recommended.

    Wonderful 2 day stay

    Sweetwater is beautiful, relaxing and a fantastic place to get away from it all. It has a great location as well, there are wineries nearby, great places to eat among recreational things to do like longwood gardens or the visiting the nearby mansion. I've lost count how many times I've been there and will continue to return! Sean and Farrell also great. Love this place!!
