Visiting Middlebury College
Whether you’re coming for a campus tour, move-in weekend, a football game, Family Weekend, graduation, or simply a visit with your Midd Kid, Swift House Inn makes a welcoming home base near Middlebury College.
Over the years, we’ve watched students and their families make the journey from that first prospective-student visit all the way to Commencement. We know that a college visit can involve more than finding a comfortable room. We’ve helped parents navigate move-in logistics, celebrated acceptances and graduations, shared stories over breakfast, and sometimes shared a few tears.
That’s part of what we hope to offer Middlebury families: a familiar face, a beautiful and comfortable place to return to, and people who know both the college and the town.
Swift House Inn is a 20-room, independently owned boutique hotel in Middlebury, Vermont, convenient to the Middlebury College campus and downtown Middlebury. Guests can start the morning with breakfast at the inn, walk into town, return for a drink at the Blue Bar, and have dinner at Jessica’s without having to make every part of a college visit another logistical exercise.
