Andrew Llewellyn and the Swepson Guesthouse: Crafting Experiences for Large Groups
When Andrew Llewellyn envisioned the Swepson Guesthouse, he didn’t just see a building — he saw the vast potential. Nestled within a 120-year-old structure, this property had the ingredients that Andrew was looking for when thinking about the experiences with large groups. The Swepson Guesthouse is more than a short-term rental; it’s a space designed to unite people while meeting its guests’ needs.
A Vision 120 Years in the Making
Transforming a 10,000-square-foot former office building into the Swepson Guesthouse was no small feat. With $1.5 million in funding—sourced from personal savings, investors, and bank loans—Andrew embarked on an 18-month journey to breathe new life into the historic space. Initially constructed in 1909, the building has seen various uses over the decades, including as a Piggly Wiggly grocery store, dental office, and hardware store.
In 2021, after meticulous renovations, the Swepson Guesthouse emerged as a stunning property featuring 15 bedrooms with 21 beds, expansive common areas, and five full kitchens. Every inch of the space reflects Andrew’s dedication to creating a welcoming environment that combines functionality with char
Why Large Groups Are the Key to Success
What sets the Swepson Guesthouse apart has been Andrew’s focus on catering to large groups, which include corporate retreats, bachlor parties, bachlorette parties, wedding groups, and family reunions. This offers the perfect advantages for creating experiences for his guests:
Reduced Competition: Most short-term rental properties can’t or don’t want to accommodate groups of 15–42, leaving a significant market gap.
Premium Pricing: Large groups want privacy, comfort, and unique experiences, so they can afford higher nightly rates and extended stays.
Repeat Business: Events like family reunions and corporate retreats create recurring demand, ensuring steady bookings, and which a space like this, the demand is there.
A Layout Designed for Togetherness and Flexibility
The Swepson Guesthouse stands out thanks to its thoughtful design, which blends communal spaces with private retreats. Here’s how Andrew’s vision came to life:
Modular Layouts for Versatility – The property features five apartment-style units that can be booked individually or combined for a full-building rental. This flexibility allows the space to accommodate everything from intimate gatherings to large-scale events.
Corporate-Friendly Amenities – The third floor boasts a conference space with AV technology, large tables, and private brainstorming areas. Guests can seamlessly transition from formal meetings to casual gatherings, striking the perfect work-play balance.
Entertainment at Its Best – Open-concept living spaces invite guests to connect for game nights, cocktail hours, or group dinners. The property is also adaptable for bachelor/bachelorette parties, featuring multiple kitchens and fun setups like beer pong.
Privacy Meets Exclusivity – Full-building rentals ensure complete privacy, making the Swepson Guesthouse a superior alternative to traditional hotels. Guests can enjoy togetherness while retreating to separate suites for downtime.
