Lovely stay in a beautiful and clean upper floor of an historic building. Easy parking and walk into town, with a great choice of restaurants. The owners are wonderful and went above and beyond to make our stay special.
We had a wonderful day at Swindell Inn in Washington, North Carolina and would absolutely give it five stars. The rooms are beautifully decorated, and we especially loved the privacy of the second floor along with the private sitting room. The beds were incredibly comfortable, which made it easy to fully relax, and we had a great night sleep. Keith and Gail were warm and welcoming hosts and you can really feel the care they put into the experience. We’d happily stay here again!

Staff was wonderful. Very polite and cordial. We had a wonderful time in Washington
Absolutely wonderful weekend! The accommodations were perfect - well stocked, beautifully decorated and immaculate! Hosts made the visit so welcoming! Location was peaceful and serene! True gem on VRBO!!!
Our host, Keith, met us upon arrival and provided a tour and some excellent restaurant recommendations. The house itself is just adorable. Two nice bedrooms with comfortable beds, a cozy sitting room and a modern bathroom. A Keurig and mini fridge are provided. Plan to eat out.
The owner was very cordial and extremely helpful in suggesting things to do and places to eat. A three block walk to the historic downtown with great restaurants and shops and the waterfront boardwalk/park. Two bedrooms and a sitting/TV room on the second floor.
What a find for a two-night mother-daughter trip to Washington, NC! Keith could not have been nicer, both through online communication and in person. He greeted us when we arrived, gave us a brief history of the house and the renovation of it, and told us everything we needed to know about the upstairs rooms we had use of, which also included a sitting room that contained a large tv, small fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and dishes/utensils/cups/mugs. The beds and linens were very comfortable. Perfect getaway location for a mother-daughter or best friends trip. I will definitely recommend it to anyone I know planning a trip to Washington, NC!
Historic home within walking distance of downtown Washington NC. Guests have upstairs. Plenty of privacy. Owner is responsive and easy. House is updated with modern bathroom. Upstairs has 2 large bedrooms with comfortable beds. Plenty of chairs for reading. A separate living room with a small fridge, microwave and Kuerig. I discovered English breakfast tea. Multiple tv,s. Can walk down multiple streets to view historic homes. Less than 10 minute stroll to center of downtown. Restaurants, cafes, 2 breweries and multiple small shops. Less than 5 minutes to coffee shop and Dairy Queen. My wife and I hope to return.
The suite was clean and well maintained. It was beautifully decorated and the hosts made sure we had everything we needed. The location was in a perfect area, not in town but everything was in a walkable distance. Would definitely stay again.
Such a great place for a weekend in Washington! My friend and I came to town for a wedding, and it was great walking distance for our events during the weekend. Keith & Gayle were wonderful hosts, greeted us both upon arrival, and gave us the grand tour. They also pointed out some favorite restaurants and things to do!
The property is a beautiful Queen Anne Victorian home on a quiet street surrpunded by similar historic homes. The rental space is large, clean, and well appointed; the hosts gracious and helpful. A wonderful experience all around. We look forward to visiting again!
The house is lovely. The beds and linens were super comfy and cozy. There was plenty of coffee, tea and water available for us. They are working on an upstairs sitting room which will be a nice addition. Street parking was convenient. We were able to park right in front of the home the whole weekend. You also can't ask for a better location. The river is directly across the street and all the downtown shops and restaurants are within walking distance.
