The Black Swan is a beautiful, old historical home. The owner greeted us and gladly share the history of the home and offered local restaurants for dinner. The breakfast was lovely- French toast, bacon and a fruit custard. I highly recommend driving to Franklin - check out Vulgar Brewery-great pizza and beer.

The property was old and a little run down, but very charming. There were only two outlets in the room so we had to unplug the lamps in order to charge our devices. The room and en suite bathroom were very spacious. There was a large, inviting tub but it had no plumbing. The bed was very comfortable.

The Expedia website said there was hell yes elevator and everything was on one level. My wife cannot climb stairs well so that is why I chose this facility.When I got there, our room was on 3rd floor a flights of stairs. Had no choice but to take room and assist my wife. Would be nice to get with owner and get facility correct so next customer who has same issue will not be surprised
Our only regret is that we weren't there for longer! It was such a lovely stay and everyone was so kind. We loved the room, breakfast was great, and the location worked out well for us. The property and building are both so cute. Highly recommend.
The property was very well maintained and the attention to detail was excellent. They have kept the look of the era of the home very much intact, like stepping back in time. Even though it is off of a main road it was very peaceful in the morning. The staff were very friendly and attentive to your needs.
Freindly staff easy check in and a beautifull old queen anne home. Right next to the river. Breakfas t was hot and tasty with a fluffy bowl of yogurt and fresh fruit .
Stayed for a night, the house is absolutely lovely, our room was cozy and spacious, the staff is welcoming and kind, and the breakfast was fantastic. Wish we could have stayed longer!
Elegant, beautifully decorated Victorian B&B, with friendly host/staff and a great breakfast.Our private bath was just down the hall, other rooms had ensuite bathrooms.Highly recommend this inn if you're passing through the area! Note:The property is slightly set back from a main thoroughfare; the A/C screened out any traffic noise for us.
The property is lovely. The Victorian feel is in everything the Inn provides and is enchanting.
The food was delicious, service superior and friendly, and the extra waters and treats most welcomed.
Worth checking this lovely inn out!!!
We were so happy with our stay! Place was beautiful and historical! Staff was so friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the history of the inn. Breakfast was delicious with many homemade fresh components! Will definitely be back!
We absolutely loved the home and the staff. At first, didn't realize it was a Bed and Breakfast....that was the bonus. The "Care Takers" were warm and friendly. And this OLD home, was not old at all. It was very well taken care of and maintained. Breakfast was delicious. The front porch with rocking chairs, and the river ran past the property. Short walk to a small downtown area with shops and restaurants. Hope to stay again soon.
Our stay here was because we were passing through. We wish we stayed longer!!!!
