About this property
Perfect For Traveling Families & Wedding Parties!
Welcome to Blackstone's historic Grey Swan Inn!
We invite you to experience the perfect blend of past and present in this unique, modern and spacious six bedroom, six bathroom home that:
- Was built in 1902
- Has been operating as an inn/B&B/hotel for the last 40 years
- And has welcomed military personnel, foreign service diplomats, day trippers, wedding and family reunion attendees, civil war buffs, antiquing aficionados and historians!
We hope to add your name to our guest list very soon!
The space
Under new ownership as of April 2024, future guests can expect all the amenities of a modern hotel but overlayed with all the warm, personal touches of a traditional family home.
When you're ready to explore, enjoy easy walking access to popular shops and restaurants downtown like The Brew House, Mitchells or the Farmer's Cafe.
Into antiquing? Check out the Antiques & Crafts Mall.
Just want to relax? Stay home and relax in our large comfortable living room or, weather permitting, enjoy the rocking chairs and swing on our wrap around porch!
