We had an opportunity to spend two nights at the Phineas Swann. It is obvious that John and Jay have covered all details for guests, leaving no stone unturned. The inn is charming, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. A special thanks to Emmy, Karen and Gwenn for their hospitality. We will definitely be back! more

We returned to Montgomery Vermont after many years absence and found much to our delight this wonderful, dog-friendly B&B Inn. We like the "out-of the way-ness" of Montgomery, the covered bridges and country roads. The hosts Jay & John do everything to make your stay enjoyable. The breakfasts, coffee and snacks were great (Emmy is the best and made eggs... more

My mother, brother and I happened upon The Phineas Swann as a referral from another B&B and "I was so elated" as we so enjoyed the comfort and antique decorations inside the inn as well as our room. Our suite was cozy and clean with snacks, drinks, magazines, satellite TV and music. Jay and John were great hosts and the... more

We, and our dogs, were treated to a perfect 3 days. Our beautiful room had been decorated with the utmost care. Every need was met. Breakfasts were delicious. Jay and John take such pride in their place, and in making sure all guests...two and four legged...are treated to a special experience. Do not - under any circumstances - lose Karen... more

We then went to our room (in the River House) where we... more

Just as the fall colors began to change I had the lovely experience of staying at the Phineas Swann B&B. It was by chance that I happened upon this historic inn and their gracious owners, Jay and John. My experience was like staying in the home of long-time friends. Everything about the inn was professional, clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Emmy,... more

Phineas Swann is very warm and inviting. The entire place is gorgeous, relaxing, private, and peaceful. Jay and John, the owners, are wonderful and generous people. Betty cooked us a private dinner which was absolutely delicious. I was so disappointed we could only stay one night! The bed was so comfortable with high quality sheets and towels. I could go... more

This warm and friendly inn is located in a beautiful part of Vermont. The food is wonderful; Jay and his staff of Gwen, Karen and Emmy are attentive without being intrusive; all amenities I could wish for were provided, and best of all, they made me feel like it was treat to meet my dog! more

My husband and I stayed for several fabulous days at the Inn. Both Jay and John offered wonderful suggestions for exploring near-by sights and the community. Every breakfast was delicious, and we also had a terrific dinner at the Inn prepared by a local, private chef who prepared a private meal for the two of us. The staff is friendly... more
