About this property
Studio guesthouse on our farm in beautiful South Westport.
Visiting the Farm Coast? Why not stay on a Farm! The Swift's Nest is a guest house located on our working farm and garden. The studio apartment is private and accessed by a farm lane that will take you past our apiary, orchard and wildflower gardens. Located above our honey room, this generous studio enjoys exceptional views. Distant winter views of the Westport River are replaced by a bright pastoral of wildflowers, hayfields, and forests in the summer. Come enjoy and relax.
The Swift's Nest is a guesthouse located on our 5 acre farm and garden in Westport just across the road from the Westport River. The guesthouse is located above our "honey room" where we store beekeeping equipment. It is accessed by a private exterior stairwell leading to a second story deck with amazing views of the farm and beyond. The guesthouse is private from the primary home and enjoys separate access from the road. Plenty of room for parking, including boat trailers. Easy trips to the beaches, boat ramps, conservation land, Buzzards Bay Brewery, Westport Rivers Winery and more. The studio apartment has one king bed. Additional sleeping arrangements for those traveling with children including porta-crib and child bedding available on request.
We named the guesthouse after the resident Swifts that live in the old chimney in the adjacent workshop. The farm is a birders paradise and a dream for wildlife enthusiasts. We encourage guests to tour our gardens and share in the bounty of flowers and food that we produce here for our family. Please note: this is working apiary, and we can have anywhere from 5 - 15 hives of honeybees at any given time. The honeybees are located about 150yards from the guesthouse, a safe distance for those who aren't inclined to be up close and personal with bees. We invite guest to exercise caution around the bees and keep their distance. If you're interested in the bees and want to take a closer look (or taste) please let me know and we can coordinate a tour.
Your stay is helping us restore the 100-year-old greenhouse on the property. Thank you.

About the host
Hosted by Christopher Hart
My wife and I were married here on our little farm in Westport. We've been fixing the place up ever since. We lived in the Swift's Nest for the first several slow years of renovations. We raised our first born there until he was about 6months old. We love the Swift's Nest, and we hope you do to.
Why they chose this property
The Farm Coast speaks to me for a number of reasons - the open spaces, the agriculture and most importantly the rivers, there estuaries, buzzards bay and the deep blue ocean beyond. As an angler and gardener I can't imagine a better place to call home the Westport.
