Charming Countryside Stay
We have stayed at Swallow’s Nest twice and both times we’ve had excellent experiences. The moment you you park and enter the property, you can feel any stress melt away. Very close to many good restaurants and historic attractions. You’ll enjoy your stay!

Enjoyable rural getaway
This is a perfect place to get away from the city for a few days. We used it as a base to visit Longwood (10-15 minutes away) and Chanticleer gardens. Henry was a friendly and helpful host.

Wonderful Property
This is a property with two separate apartments. We stayed in the east side this trip. Beautiful area and property. Clean and comfortable. Has a kitchenette with small refrigerator, microwave and sink. Henry the owner is very nice and onsite to help out with any questions.The area is beautiful and has many things to do and see. This was our second visit to the property. The animals are alot of fun. We definitely will return.

Lovely, quiet getaway in spectacular countryside
What a beautiful property! Clean, spacious, serene, and very comfortable, it made a perfect home base for a weekend spectating at Fair Hill. Not recommended for those who want to whip up gourmet meals (no range, oven, or dishwasher, and only a mini fridge). But if you want to put your feet up and enjoy takeout (loved the helpful binder of recommendations!) or wine and cheese while appreciating local artists, give this one a look. If I might make one suggestion that would take this from 4 stars to 5, please see about boosting the water pressure in the shower. Beautiful bathroom, nice adjustable shower head — but weak flow (beyond merely water-saving) no matter what setting was used.

Great place close to gardens and hiking
This is a wonderful place to stay. It's clean, comfortable and located in a nice rural setting. The owner is a great resource for finding all the best local hiking trails. It's conveniently located to visit both Longwood Gardens and Mt. Cuba Center. Highly recommend.

GORGEOUS
Henry's place was immaculate and charming and felt incredibly luxe. It was spotlessly and obviously clean and the details that went into the space were clear. The farm settings was so calm and peaceful and felt isolated despite the main house being visible from the doorway. Henry came to say hi and we chatted for a few and made me aware of his accessibility and then there was no need for anything else. The bed was VERY comfortable. Climate controls worked flawlessly. The bathroom was so clean and practical, even for a tall person, and everything was solidly built. The place is covered in local art and incredibly tasteful and well furnished. Nothing bare bones or "rental" about it. Nothing felt cheap or disposable. This is a luxury stay and I will absolutely seek it out in the future if I visit the area.
