Swantown Inn

Not only was the inn beautiful, but the hosts were very kind and helpful with lots of recommendations and insight into the area. Also, the breakfast was so delicious. We would love to stay here again!

Swantown Inn Bed and Breakfast is located just a few minutes off I-5 in a residential area where the gingerbreading on this Victorian home seems appropriate. Hosts Nathan and Casey welcomed me into the cosy ambience of a Victorian home. Entering is like “Coming home to a place I’d never been before” to borrow a line from John Denver’s song. I was amazed at how the immersion in a bygone era is very relaxing, just by entering a home filled with Victorian nostalgia, a house built in a time of gentility and civility, including the hospitality of the hosts. The experience of staying there was period authentic down to the breakfast included. This is not one of the ostentatious Victorian mansions usually featured in historic tours, such as the Port Townsend tour of the former residences of late 1800s ‘lumber barons,' but instead a return to a time of gracious living that makes modern day cares fade away. I felt I returned to a time when home was where you came to relax after a workday, surrounded by family and a décor that celebrates family and life lived well, not extravagantly. A Victorian era history buff would really enjoy staying at this inn but I recommend this experience for anyone who needs a vacation, even a single day of rest and relaxation. PS – the beds are wonderfully comfortable!

I interacted with Nathan during my stay here, and he was a fantastic host, especially with regard to my unpredictable work schedule. Thanks to him I was treated to warm, delicious scones before the set breakfast time, and he was able to accommodate my last minute changes with ease and ever-present amiability. The inn itself is a wonderful Victorian property with great architecture and plenty of charm. I'd definitely stay again, and would love to come back to take advantage of the full breakfast!

Best stay ever It was amazing! It was an adorable bnb run by a really nice and friendly couple. Great homemade breakfast in the morning, will definitely go again

We enjoyed the historic home. We stayed in the Astoria room and loved it. Very roomy and quiet. Bedding was very nice. There is no TV in room but that was fine with us. We walked the neighborhood and then took advantage of the jacuzzi in our room.

Beautiful unique inn with the perfect ambiance and terrific staff!
