Swan House is an original architectural work of art sitting in a quiet upscale Hillside neighborhood (paved roads), overlooking the city of Anchorage, with Mt. McKinley as a backdrop. Swan House was titled "a trophy home" by Travel & Leisure Magazine when it was a Bed & Breakfast from 1991 to 2005. The B & B was also featured in the renown Fodor's America's Best Bed & Breakfasts, 3rd Edition, and Alaska's Best Places. It has been the front page of Anchorage Daily News Sunday "HOMES".
