Meet Your Hosts – Matthew & Desyrai

Matthew and Desyrai are both proud Army veterans who recently returned to their roots in Washington State. During their move, they stumbled upon this charming historic home in the heart of downtown Tacoma—a hidden gem that had clearly seen better days, but still radiated character and potential.

Originally converted into seven apartments during the Great Depression, the home felt like the perfect place to breathe new life into while also opening its doors to guests from near and far. They saw not just a house, but a story worth preserving—and sharing.

Though still a work in progress, Matthew and Desyrai are lovingly restoring the property, blending thoughtful renovations with its original 1901 beauty. Their goal? To create a space that feels like home, filled with warmth, history, and the kind of welcoming spirit only a labor of love can offer.

Why they chose this property

What we love most about this neighborhood is its unbeatable location near downtown Tacoma. From museums and antique shops to restaurants, theaters, local schools, and boutique shopping, there’s something here for everyone to enjoy—all just steps from our front door.

What makes this property unique

The Green House Inn isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience rooted in Tacoma’s rich history and elevated with thoughtful, modern touches. Built in 1901, this beautifully remodeled Victorian home blends timeless charm with curated comfort. Each unit has its own unique character, but all share a common thread: warmth, intention, and a touch of magic.

What sets The Green House Inn apart is its perfect balance of old-world elegance and modern convenience—vintage elements like clawfoot tubs, antique stoves, and original architecture are paired with high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, and fully stocked kitchens. The atmosphere is cozy yet elevated, designed for travelers who appreciate both style and soul.
