About the host

Hosted by Keith Hudson

Host profile image
Keith and Gayle live on the ground floor of the Swindell House with their dog Blue, now all grown and a well-loved part of the home.

They relocated to Washington from California in 2018 and soon after purchased this 1889 Victorian. Over the past several years, they have carefully restored the home, preserving its historic character while updating it for modern living.

Gayle’s background in interior design is reflected in the thoughtful details throughout the house, while Keith, a semi-retired business consultant, now leads a local nonprofit supporting small businesses in the community.

They enjoy sharing the home and its story with guests and helping visitors experience the charm of Washington.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood for its walkable location and relaxed, historic character. Just a short stroll from downtown Washington, the waterfront, shops, and restaurants, it offers the best of both convenience and a quiet residential setting.

The Swindell House, a classic 1889 Queen Anne Victorian, sits on land once part of a boat yard owned by Hull Anderson, a formerly enslaved man who built a successful business here in the early 1800s.

The home was later owned by Dr. Swindell, a well-known local physician, and elements of the original property—including the divided carriage house—can still be seen today. This layered history is part of what gives the home and neighborhood their unique character.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property unique is its combination of historic character, walkable location, and access to everything Washington has to offer.

Set in a beautifully restored 1889 Victorian, guests enjoy original architectural details, spacious accommodations, and a setting that feels both distinctive and comfortable. From the front door, you can walk to the waterfront, downtown shops, and local dining, then return to a quiet, relaxed space.

Within minutes, you can stroll the riverwalk, visit the estuarium, explore local shops, enjoy dining at places like the Hackney or Bank Bistro, or relax with a drink overlooking the water. It’s a stay that blends historic charm with an easy, walkable coastal lifestyle.
