Swift House Inn and Jessica’s Restaurant
The Hearthside Group is proud to announce the sale of the Swift House Inn and Jessica’s Restaurant in Middlebury to Matthew Robinson. Tim Piper represented Matthew as a Buyer Broker in the transaction. Sellers were Nationally recognized innkeepers, Dan and Michele Brown. Regarding this transaction, Tim reports, “It is very exciting when a deal comes together and you know it is a win/win for both the buyers and the sellers!” Tim met Matthew at the PAII conference in Las Vegas a few years back where Tim was a presenter. Matthew, a former Disney executive from LA, was originally from the Northeast and couldn’t wait to move to Middlebury, a vibrant four season College town. Together, Tim and Matthew considered many opportunities, but in the end, it was clear to Matthew that the Swift House and Middlebury was where he wanted to settle with his fiance, Serena Kim. They will host their own wedding at the inn next summer!
Michele and Dan Brown, the former owners of the Swift House Inn, were tireless in their support of innkeeping as a profession. They found their way to the Swift House with the help of the Hearthside Group when they purchased their inn, and it is fitting that we helped them to retire. We wish Michele and Dan many happy, healthy years in their well-deserved retirement.
