Charm out the wazoo at this home. The location is outstanding: a short walk to the bakeries and restaurants and amusements of downtown Ashland from here. My bed (the non-four-poster one) was one the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. The hosts are responsive and helpful, too. We had such a lovely time.

Best Stay Yet in Ashland!

I've been visiting Ashland for 15 years, and The Matriarch (also known as the Swank House) is by far the best location I've ever stayed in. It's beautifully classy, incredibly comfortable, and perfectly situated—just a short walk to everything I love: the Cabaret, Lithia Park, restaurants, and shopping. I especially appreciated being able to drop off purchases or refrigerate leftovers in between outings—so convenient!The communication was seamless: clear, accommodating, and never intrusive. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were luxuriously comfy, and the entire space felt thoughtfully curated. Honestly, I hesitate to post this review because I’d love to keep this gem all to myself!It was the perfect Mother’s Day gift to ourselves—shared between me, my sister, and two daughters. A truly special stay we’ll always remember.

Stay classy, traveler! We take pride in bringing elegance and comfort to the overnight experience. With a new vision for the hospitality scene in Ashland, we’ve created environments to relax in luxury—locally-rooted and with delightful touches. You might be headed to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival or touring Rogue Valley wine country, but we hope you’ll return again for the joy you felt at one of our beautifully appointed properties.

STORY TELLERS, GO-GETTERS
Every Swank House’s unique history and architecture has guided its updated design. We honor each home’s narrative while turning up the dial on its comfort and conveniences. From mid-century modern to contemporary Victorian, every design decision has been influenced by best parts of a home’s past.
We get our kicks from the challenge of authentic restoration, balanced with stylish design for the modern traveler.

MEET THE HOGGES
Blooming from deep roots in the Rogue Valley, The Hogges founded Swank House in 2012. While serving as the local farmer’s market manager, Abby’s admiration for local provisions inspired her vision for an upgraded Ashland experience — one focused on connecting people with new places by celebrating the purveyors of the local community.
Coupled with grit, determination and a whole lot of sweat equity, Abby and Matt are on a relentless mission to lay the canvas for your next vacation memory.
