The Inn continues to bustle with guests and friends. Tim is making a pie for a social event, Rick is working in the gardens, and the dogs are resting. We continue to welcome Long Trail hikers needing a rest for the rocks, roots, and weather of the LT.

Long Trail Hiker “Butterfly” spent a “zero” day at the Inn with her parents. She was back on the trail this morning, well fed and rested. Keep it going, Butterfly! We know you can make it! Check out the Green Mountain Club for more information on the Long Trail.

The Swanson Inn is getting a facelift. Starting in late May, Amanda has been scraping, priming, and painting the Inn.

At first it looked like the Inn had the measles with brown spots over the blue paint.

But with the first top coat slowly spreading, you can see a glimpse of the future.

Keep an eye out right here to see how this project, and many others, is shaping up.
