Build Your Own Vacation Package 

Vacation packages can be a great way to make the most of your vacation - by letting you do the planning up front, you'll spend more of your vacation doing the things you want to do instead of chasing down last minute details. The only problem is when your vacation package choices don't meet your needs, by either charging you for things you don't want or by falling short and not providing the things you do.

With that in mind, although the Phineas Swann offers pre-built packages on our seasonal packages pages, unlike other lodging properties we also give our guests the opportunity to "Build" their own package from the choices below. Choose Romantic add-on's, like champagne, flowers, and chocolates, Spa Experiences, like a massage, or Outdoor Adventures like dogsledding, canoeing, and kayaking.

HOW TO BUILD YOUR PACKAGE: After you've browsed this list, simply give us a call, and we'll add these your choices to your reservation.  Or, if you are booking online, after you choose your room and dates of your stay, you will be guided to a page where you can select any of the choices you see below. Simply click on your choices to add them to your reservation. We'll send you an email to confirm your choices. There are no black-out periods for Build Your Own Packages, although some choices are subject to seasonal availability.

"No wonder there are so many great reviews. From the moment we walked in we were impressed. Jay and the staff were super friendly and accommodating. The place was gorgeous and filled with taste and comfort. I have never eaten a better breakfast! The bed was super comfortable, too! I usually have bad back and neck pain in the morning, but i woke up feeling like a million bucks - even after a day of intense hiking!"

"I just spent 5 days traveling in Vermont and the Phineas Swann B&B is, by far, the best place to stay! Customer service is #1 from the minute you walk in the door, through your entire stay! Amazing! Jay was able to give wonderful recommendations for dining, shopping, local vendors, sight seeing, etc. His customer service skills also extended to his staff members, Karen and Justine, who were both very pleasant, prompt, down to earth and helpful. I was so impressed with this place and the service - you've got to try it out and pamper yourself! Truly a five star hotel!"

- Sandy and Bill, Hibbing, MN 
 

"This was our second time to the Phineas Swann. Came up for a week in May to get away from it all-- and it fit the bill perfectly. My wife and I once again brought our bulldog Seamus up to the property, and we stayed in the River House.

For dog owners, this location and area are great. In the mornings, we drove 1/2 mile down to a town field (with exceptional mountain views) for frisbee, went swimming in the river next to our unit early and often, and walked the extensive recreation trail which runs near the town every day at sunset. Unlike other "dog friendly" establishments, this place truly is. Jay, John and the staff love the dogs, and you don't feel like your imposing at all.

One area trip I'd recommend during the summer is driving the wine tour in Quebec. Its only about a half hour drive to the first winery, and there are 10-15 wineries within about 15 miles of each other. Great time up there."

"From the decor to the landscape, everything was absolutely breathtaking. Again, I cannot say enough about the personal touches, attention to detail, and service, everything was impeccable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Phineas Swann, and highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a warm and enjoyable five star experience."
