Pandemic Update

General

As the State of Vermont re-opens for travel, The Swanson re-opened its doors on July 1, 2020. If Covid-related illness or changing travel restrictions impact your ability to visit as planned, we will refund your deposit.

We follow CDC, Vermont Department of Health, and American Hotel and Lodging Association guidelines for disinfecting and cleaning our rooms and linens, and all guests and staff must maintain social distance and wear masks while in indoor common spaces (unless you are eating). Whenever possible, we will put a 24-hour safety cushion around visits, so that rooms will be left vacant between guest stays.

Please review Vermont’s cross-state travel information when planning your trip: https://accd.vermont.gov/covid-19/restart/cross-state-travel. This information changes frequently, and the state’s website is updated regularly. Depending on where you are traveling from, there may be restrictions and/or quarantine requirements. In addition, all out-of-state travelers must sign and complete a Certificate of Compliance and are strongly encouraged to register with Sara Alert upon arrival to Vermont to get two weeks of daily reminders to check for common symptoms of COVID-19.

Thank you,
The Swanson Inn

Rokeby Museum

General

Rokeby Museum is open and a great place to visit this summer. Open daily, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The museum’s special 2020 exhibit MENDING FENCES: NEW WORK BY CAROL MACDONALD includes prints and objects in the gallery, and outdoor installations – all inspired by Rokeby Museum – that explore simple and profound acts of repair. (For an exhibit review, search Seven Days Art Review Mending Fences.)

For a deeper understanding of race issues in America today, the museum’s award winning, multi-media exhibit FREE & SAFE: THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD IN VERMONT is a great exploration of the history of slavery and the work done by many to abolish it.

Rokeby also offers walking trails, historic farm buildings including an early 20^th century creamery, virtual tours of the historic Robinson family home, and extra care to make your visit clean and safe. Open daily, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Passover Desserts

General

The Swanson Inn is taking orders Passover desserts. We currently offer our Flourless Chocolate Cake for $25.

If you have a special request, please call Tim at 802-496-2405. We may not be able to accommodate all special requests. Call Tim to see what he can do.

We wish all our Jewish neighbors a wonderful Passover celebration.

In these uncertain times, please join the Swanson Inn and light a candle for hope.

Gift Certificates

General

Consider giving a get-a-way weekend to the Swanson Inn. The Mad River Valley has much to offer – from skiing to fishing, shopping to hiking, and music to beer, vacation opportunities in Central Vermont never slow down until you get check-in at the Swanson Inn. Why not give such a gift?

You can also give the gift of pie! A gift certificate can be used for Sunday Pie or whole pies.

Please contact us for more details.

What’s Happening at the Inn Today?

Friday, July 26, 2019

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.

Saturday, July 13, 2019

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.

June 14, 2019

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.
