This unit was great for our stay in Washington. The hosts were kind and polite and guided us through everything we needed for our stay. The unit did get a little warm in the hot afternoon sun but the cold waters left in the fridge were great!

This carriage house was above and beyond what we expected. Great kind owners and their dog Blue is friendly. He does like to chase squirrels which was entertaining. The location is in town with the waterfront and many shops and restaurants. But it wouldn’t have been as enjoyable had we not stayed at this carriage house. Thank you do much Keith and Gayle! And Blue too!

About the host

Hosted by Keith Hudson

Host profile image
We live on the property and enjoy welcoming guests to our restored carriage house. It’s been a rewarding project bringing new life to a 140-year-old space while keeping its character intact. We love the charm of downtown Washington and its waterfront, and we’re always glad to share recommendations or give guests their privacy to relax and unwind.

Why they chose this property

The carriage house is located in a quiet residential neighborhood just a short walk from the heart of downtown Washington. Mornings are peaceful here—while afternoons and evenings invite an easy stroll to the waterfront, local shops, and casual dining spots.

Downtown Washington has a relaxed, small-town coastal feel, with scenic views along the riverwalk, locally owned restaurants, and a welcoming pace that encourages you to slow down and enjoy your surroundings.

What we enjoy most is the balance—you can park your car and walk to everything, yet return to a quiet, private space to unwind.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property unique is the combination of history, setting, and location. This is a true 140-year-old carriage house that has been carefully restored to preserve its original character—exposed beams, rafters, and architectural details—while offering the comfort of a fully updated space.

Just as important is the setting. Tucked into a private garden beneath a mature magnolia tree, the space feels quiet and removed, yet it’s only a 5-minute walk to downtown Washington and the waterfront.

It’s not a typical rental—it’s a small, self-contained retreat with a sense of place, where historic charm and modern comfort come together in a way that’s hard to find.
