About this property

The Downtown Abbey - The Drawing Room

About this space
It's rare to find a place that's both historic and one-of-a-kind. The Drawing Room is an eloquently designed stay that stretches along the length of the Downtown Abbey. The farmhouse style kitchenette, mid-century oversized windows and natural light emphasize the simple beauty of this old-world building. This beautiful space is a very short distance from some of the best attractions the town has to offer.
The space
The entrance to the Drawing Room is on the left (west side) of the Abbey if you are facing it. The Abbey is a 120 year old church building that was formerly divided into three separate, private spaces. The Drawing Room was an addition to the church, built in the early 1950’s and most recently used as an architect’s quarters. The home shares two walls and two non-opening doors with another rental suite but you have the entire listing to yourself
Guest access
All of the spaces within the unit are private and available for use exclusively by the tenants.

You will have complete access to the entire space of The Drawing Room.
Other things to note
The Abbey is a 120 year old church building that has been converted into a tri-plex over the years. There are many quirks to a building this old! There are two shared walls within the unit. The farmhouse kitchen is equipped but please note we offer a Ninja tabletop air fryer for oven usage (it can roast an entire chicken!) and the stove top is a countertop double cast iron burner as pictured.


There are absolutely NO PARTIES allowed. Since the building is divided into a tri-plex, out of respect for our other guests, we do not allow parties. Quiet hours are between 10PM-8AM. If you have a larger group, please inquire directly about renting the entire busking out.

Quick overnight trip
The location was very close to what we needed but it was very dirty on the inside. I realize it’s an older property but it did not appear to have been cleaned. The futon when made out had all kinds of large crumbs and crackers and even dried contacts in the crevices extremely visible to the naked eye. There needs to be air fresheners of some type as it smells very musty. The refrigerator had dead bugs in the bottom. Overall just very dirty

The Drawing room
My stay at the drawing room was wonderful! The rooms were very clean and spacious and bright. The Christmas tree was a welcome surprise.

Quick Getaway
Perfect for an overnight stay. I was in town to visit my daughter and attend William Beckmann’s show at Cheatham Street Warehouse. (We were keeping tabs on the game too.) Everything that you could need is within walking distance from the Abbey (i.e. HEB, Downtown, Palmer’s, Shipley’s… ) I felt a bit guilty because it was just me staying at this cozy yet spacious little place. Y’all did a great job restoring/creating a space for guests! Love the funky vibe of the place. Thanks for a neat place.

Charming Property
Great place for parents visiting students of TXST. Charming building, comfortable and clean. Near campus and downtown area very convenient. Small issue with unit not cleaned at check in time but the management responded quickly and took care of the issue. Will stay again 100%
