Swann's Nest, the main home on a Lexington, Kentucky Thoroughbred farm called Cygnet, is tucked into the rolling countryside, just beyond the back entrance of Keeneland Racecourse and less than five minutes from the terminal at Lexington's Bluegrass Airport. Offering tranquility and grace within an easily acessible twenty mile radius of the most prominent Central Kentucky thoroughbred farms, Swann's Nest provides all the comforts of home. You'll find the accomodations, two spacious suites and three single rooms, are distinctively appointed.
All guests have access to the living room for reading and music, or the den with a fireplace.
In the spring and fall, guests relax comfortably on the screened porch or in the bricked courtyard, featuring a bridged pond. Charm and warmth are here due in no small part to the atmosphere created by Rosalie Swann. In 1812 he built his home, Rose Hill, as a testament to his prosperity in the New World. Located on 1.3 acres in the heart of Bluegrass horse country, The Brand House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the floor plan is registered with the Library of Congress. The house has been featured in Southern Living, National Geographic and Country Inns Magazines, and is still regarded as one of the most significant examples of the Federal-style in many books on Kentucky and Antebellum architecture.
