About this apartment rental
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.
