About this bed and breakfast
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.

Cute, charming home. Very clean and comfortable.

Excellent prize with minimal fees for a great, unique space. Loved the mix of vintage with modern necessities. The pull out couch is actually a futon, but the use of an air mattress was a bonus. Would highly recommend

The house was better than expected. It was clean, neat and very spacious for our family. Check in/out was super simple and the location was perfect. It was centered around everything we wanted to do. I rate this place 10/10. The only issue we had was the people that were staying on the other side did not comply with the quiet hours between 10pm-8am.

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

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

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.

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%

We loved staying in the Drawing Room of the Downtown Abbey. Check in was easy and very thankful for a parking spot. The layout of the place was quaint and it checked our boxes of cleanliness, character, and coziness. It was roomy and functional. The record player was a nice touch. We watched TV as well. It is walking distance to the square, however, we drove with plenty of parking available. Fabulous restaurants nearby.
5.0 / 5.0
Picture don’t do this justice! The place is very spacious with a full size living, bedroom, bath and kitchen. We were able to walk to the square, which was really nice. Would definitely stay here again.
