We are recommended as your accomodation in Olympia by Shelora Sheldan, Culinary Traveller for Eat Magazine, in Canada. You can read the article entitled, "A Foodie Tour of the Washington Capital", from the September/October 2005 Edition.

Seattle Times

We received our first review from Lisa Heyamoto, staff reporter for the Seattle Times, visited us the very first night we were here. The article was published on the 13th January 2005.

"Olympia is, surprisingly, not home to a huge selection of bed-and-breakfasts. But it is home to The Swantown Inn, a charming Victorian mansion just a few minutes outside downtown. As it happened, we decided to stay there the very day it changed owners, and the new guy, Nathan Allan, hadn't even moved in his own stuff when we showed up at the door. Despite the potential for bumps, Allan was gracious and eager to show us around his new digs. He's got a few updates planned for the place, but wants to keep most things intact. Though we missed out on breakfast this time, I'm going back someday for the gourmet meal he and partner Casey Frazier have cooking."
