My wife and I stayed 2 nights, with Jay the hosting the first and Jenny the second. From both Jay and Jenny we were made to feel welcome and accomodated. Breakfast both days was excellent, with blueberry pancakes the first morning, and french toast the second. To my wife and I, everything seemed perfect and welcoming; from the overall Inn,... More

We had a wonderful time with our golden at the Phineas Swan. We love this inn and its dog centered atmosphere.It was our anniversary and we decided to celebrate with a Private Chef dinner. I can't imagine anything better. It was so romantic, intimate and absolutely delicious! We plan to repeat this experience for our next special day, even Jenny's... More

Top notch customer service with a compassionate, personal manner. Delicious breakfast of blackberry filled french toast. Attentive to directions, she saved us from getting lost coming up. Jenny helped me to clear my head and re-group after a tough couple of weeks. Thanks Jenny!!!

Two days prior, we receive a phone call our Inn in Ogunquit is "under renovations," and our reservation was canceled. We always wanted to stay ay Phineas Swann after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor. We... More

We stayed at this Inn 4/13/13 - 4/14/13. We were met by Jenny who was most helpful and who introduced us to the Inn. The Inn is comfortable and welcoming. Perhaps some of the knick-knacks could be removed. I felt that there just too many of them. We stayed in the Terrier Suite. The bed was comfortable, the room was... More

We're always looking for places that are as pampering to our 2 dogs as they are to us. The Phineas Swann is one of those places. From the welcoming tour with Jay upon arrival, the many thoughtful touches (monogrammed dog cookies, etc), the cozy room, comfortable bed and the delicious breakfasts the Phineas exceeded our expectations. Jay, Jenny and the... More

The Inn is obviously a haven for dog owners who want to vacation with their pets.The owners are pleasant and have adorable dogs and will even walk yours. For non dog people, the inn is clean and nice, although overcrowded with chachkis (sp?). The rooms are well decorated with comfortable beds and upscale bathrooms. The town is very depressed with...

First of all , thanks so much for the wonderful things you had to say in your review. As to the matter of breaking out the service charge from the room rate, rather than baking it into the daily rate, this has much to do with room and occupancy taxes in the state of Vermont. Service charges are not taxed,... More

If you need a place to stay while traveling with your dogs, look no further than this place. It is very clean, comfortable, and very accepting of pets, making sure that they had a welcome bag, beds, bowls, and no shortage of treats. Jenny was great at making sure we were accommodated as much as possible, and went out of... More

Phineas Swann is the home you never knew you had. I had never stayed at a B&B before, and I was a little concerned that I'd feel uncomfortable staying at "a stranger's house" but as soon as I got there I felt like I'd landed somewhere that I'd been many times before. The inn is amazingly welcoming and comfortable, but... More

Jay and company were born to run an inn. We had a room on the river and enjoyed walking our dog on the snow mobile trails (too late for them, thankfully). The woods, the fields and the farm reminded me of France. Everything was lovely.
