About this property

The Downtown Abbey - The Drawing Room

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

The Downtown Abbey is charming late victorian era estate centrally located in the center of San Marcos. It is walking distance to several incredible natural landmarks like the Blanco and San Marcos rivers. It is a short drive to both Austin and San Antonio. A perfect place to stay and relax or to explore Texas from.

Three years ago, we embarked on a journey to create a place where everyone is welcome regardless of the shape of the road that led you or the destination that lies ahead. The work of staying the course has rarely been easy but it has always been good. As a family we strive to keep Love at the very center of our life, love for ourselves, each other and for those we have been given the privilege to care for- for however long that may be. Our hope is that we may share a small piece of the home we have found in each other, with you.
