The Swallow Hill Manor

We loved the large amount of space, the kitchen, and the dining room table with seating for our extended family.

Beautiful private and quiet grounds, The farmhouse itself was amazing. And the visits from wildlife were a pleasure. However, the comfort of the home was lacking due to sparse, low quality furnishings and a general lack of care/upkeep. We found several chairs to be rickety. The living room furniture left us covered in white dog hair. Not one room had a night stand light for reading and the bedroom sheets were made of slippery, manmade material. Lastly, although the large, amazing rooms allow for large family gatherings, you may want to take into consideration that the kitchen is rather poorly (if not oddly) stocked. For example, we found one spice - pepper, no paper (foil, Saran, wax), only two wine glasses, etc.Communication w/ the owner was good, but could have been better, as we were told early check could be possible, but then never heard from him as to what time. That said check out was as easy as can be.All said, if you appreciate magnificent old properties, peace and quiet, you'll be quite pleased.

We had a lovely multi-generational gathering at Swallow Hill Manor. The host was pleasant and responsive. The property is super unique - wonderful historic building with all the comforts. Quiet location with lots of space. The view of the Milky Way at night is spectacular! Great place to relax with family and friends.

It was a perfect place to relax and enjoy a week of cooking and grilling for birthday”s . Tranquil, peaceful, and a delight.

This house was great because it had a lot of rooms. This enabled everyone to find their own spot to relax with a book, etc. it was very quiet, peaceful, just what we wanted for a getaway to hang out and do not much.

We had an amazing time at Swallow Hill Manor! Super cool house and private! Communicating with the owner was easy ! Close to skiing and snowboarding which we did multipe days! We even got a visit from a beautiful deer in the back yard out last night! Definitely recommended!

Great ski cabin for our group who was skiing at Ragged Mtn. Dylan was very communicative and the grounds keeper was great - we had gotten snow overnight and he was there bright and early plowing so we could get out skiing! We had enough space for everyone and my mom keeps saying we should go back over the summer! Will definitely be staying again

Our family (five adults, four children and one dog) spent 4 great days and nights together for Christmas at this special Manor at the top of a hill near Franklin. The house is very large with plenty of room for 10 or more people. It is very comfortable, private, quiet and peaceful -- a perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the holidays to spend quality time with the people you love. The host was very responsive and helpful, and made everything easy. I recommend Swallow Hill Manor without reservation if you want to make the most of your time away to focus on what really matters.

This property is fantastic. Stephanie and I have been hosting Thanksgiving for our blended family for some years now and Swallow Hill Manor was incredible!

Overall the house worked for our large party in town for a funeral. The property is very old, limited lighting and could use newer kitchen pans, etc. beds are ok in comfort. If you want a very old, very authentic, new england farm house experience then this is the perfect house.
