Why stay in a hotel, when you can stay in a home?
The Grey Swan Inn was built in 1902 by prominent Blackstonian Douglas Longstreet Tuggle of R. W. Tuggle & Son Tobacco Company of Blackstone, Virginia for his bride, Sue Armstrong, and was the Tuggle family home for eighty-five years. It is now Blackstone’s original inn and home for our guests hailing from the state, the country and proudly, the world.
Our inn has a large wrap-around porch with swing and rockers for relaxation and is enjoyed throughout the spring, summer and fall by our guests. The main floor offers two parlors for guest use; one designed as a study, while the other has a fireplace (great during the winter months) and is ideal for visiting and reading.
The dining room may be used by guests that wish to bring in lunch or snacks. There are four bedrooms on the second floor: two with one full bed each, two with one queen bed each. The third floor offers a king-bedded suite and private sitting area with TV and recently we have opened up the traditional owner’s suite as an additional bedroom for guests who prefer to avoid the stairs.
You may stay at inns more expensive and elegant, but you will never be more welcome, or feel more at home. We hope to host you soon!
