Although we were visiting our relatives in Lexington - we always love to stay at a B&B - we instantly felt right at home here - the house, yard and garden were beautiful and brought back memories on why we love Kentucky - the horses and the hospitality of the people we visit. We will continue to stay here with... More

Swann's Nest Bed and Breakfast is a beautiful, tranquil place to stay. The house and grounds are lovely. Rosalie is a gracious, wonderful lady, unobtrusive but willing to answer questions and offer recommendations. We followed her recommendations and were glad we did. We stayed in the Cyget Room which has a balcony overlooking the garden. We loved it so much... More

We stayed at Swan's Nest on April 20th and 21st. Rosalie was great to deal with when we made the reservation or any time we had questions. She turned out to be a great hostess. Her hope that we would feel like visitors to her home and not just "paying gurests" worked. I have never stayed at a place where... More

My husband and I stayed at Swann's Nest April 12 - 16. I have to start off by disagreeing with the compliant written about smoke being an issue. We are non-smokers and had no issue at all with the the smell of smoke!! The owner, her family, and workers are wonderful people, very pleasant. The breakfast was just right!!! The... More

The Bed and Breakfast does look from the *outside* how the pictures are online. I was very upset to walk in the front door and immediately smell heavy smoke. If you are a non smoker this would be very bothersome! It is one thing for the owner to smoke outside but to smoke in the B & B where guest... More

Our recent visit to the Swann's Nest was a very pleasant one. The location was great (minutes from Keeneland, Lexington, Versailles) and the horse farm setting was beautiful. Our host Rosalie was more than willing to help with any questions we had about the area and we felt right at home. If only Fayette County would do more to support... More

We had a wonderful stay at the Swann's Nest, and got the couples' weekend winter getaway that we were looking for! The grounds were a beautiful, memorable horse country setting for this charming B & B! We stayed in the Cygnet Room, which includes a private bathroom and a balcony overlooking the courtyard, looking well manicured even in the dead... More

This was our 4th stay at Swann's Nest. We love it and will return again and again. The atmosphere is like going home. You can be involved as much as you would like, or you can be alone and enjoy the surroundings. Rosalie gives the best restaurant advice and every now and then gives you a good "betting" tip. Close...

I couldn't agree more with the other reviews! Rosalie gave the best advice. We especially enjoyed the company of Scruffy, her dog. I can't imagine a more beautiful setting for such a beautiful place. We felt like we were staying with someone that was more like a relative (the good kind!!)

We had a wonderful little getaway for the weekend. The B&B is very easy to get to and has wonderful scenery. The entire effect was quite relaxing and pastoral. Rosalie was fantastic and her garden is beautiful. We also were able to enjoy our time and get to know a few of the local horses as well. We would recommend... More
