About this property

Stunning Downtown Studio in Lewes

A first-class studio, newly constructed @ Preservation Forge, located in the heart of downtown Lewes--named 2022 most beautiful city in America--a stones throw from the beach, boutiques, restaurants, & cultural destinations of this charming town. Custom wood details from Old Wood Delaware (visit our store on the first floor of the building) make this a strikingly beautiful space. It boasts a king bed and pullout queen sofa bed, stocked kitchen, lounging space, and full bath with designer tiled shower, and washer/dryer.

-The Space-
Stepping into our charming, newly renovated studio, you will enjoy the old brick columns and reclaimed wood details, including the antique support beam, and solid wide plank white oak flooring. The king sized bed is beautifully appointed with the softest linens. In the gathering area, there is a comfy loveseat (which folds out into a queen sized bed with an upgraded memory foam mattress) and a large Smart TV. Behind the loveseat is a large antique wood slab sofa console which duals as a work or dining space with three stools. The open layout includes a fully stocked kitchenette with a honed granite counter and custom tiled backsplash. There is a full-sized refrigerator, dishwasher, induction stovetop, microwave (which is also a convection oven), and kitchen disposal. You’ll appreciate all of the accent lighting throughout, that enhances the ambiance of the space. A stunning fully custom tiled designer bathroom includes a custom floating white oak granite-topped vanity, highlighted by under cabinet lighting and a backlit vanity mirror. The bathroom is stocked with body soap, shampoo/conditioner, and luxury towels.

-Guest Access-
The suite offers its own private digital keyless entrance. Included is 1 private parking space as well as free on-street parking. Enjoy your private deck off of the kitchen, including outdoor lighting. In the exterior storage closet, down the entryway steps, you will find a beach cart & chairs to use as a courtesy during your stay.

Staying here is like having your own vacation apartment. Easy check-in and out, come and go as you please, everything you need in easy reach! It offered me the perfect blend of comfort and convenience to let me enjoy a thoroughly relaxing getaway. And Mary the host made me feel most welcome, for a second time. I doubt I could find a better stay anywhere else in the Lewes-Rehoboth area. Next time I return, I'll look here first and hope it's available.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mary's studio in Lewes, Delaware. We wondered if the studio would be smallish but were pleased that it was bigger than expected. It is very well decorated and very well positioned to walk to all the points of interest and restaurants in Lewes. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this unit to any couples planning to stay in Lewes.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Bueneman

Host profile image
My name is Mary Bueneman. My husband , Marty, and I purchased the "Preservation Forge" @ 114 W. 3rd St. Downtown Historic Lewes, 2 years ago. Our vision was to totally refurbish the building to include a second retail location for our unique Home Interior Store, "Old Wood Delaware", on the first level, and create two upscale Vacation Rental Suites on the second story. After 2 long years, our vision has come to fruition. Our Studio and our Suite may be rented alone or together and accommodates up to 4 persons per unit. Both units are decorated in a coastal contemporary style utilizing Old Wood Delaware resources. We welcome you to come stay for the experience of living an upscaled Old Wood lifestyle.
