Whistling Swan Inn is the result of a love story that began in the 1890’s when Judge Daniel L. Best purchased the land where the Inn resides. His desire was to build a magnificent home for his wife, Sarah. In 1905, they moved into a spacious Victorian home complete with then all the modern conveniences available to them. Today, that home is known as the Whistling Swan Inn. When you choose the Inn as your location, you become part of a long, romantic story that began almost 130 years ago.
