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!

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!

Lovely Victorian era house in great location

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.

Quick Weekend Away

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.

Comfortable and cozy

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!
