1 Bedroom Apartment in Lexington

Like the owners' other property, Middleton House, McDowell Studio combines 19th-century charm with pure comfort. The Studio, which has lofty ceilings and a generous sitting room, sleeps 4. It occupies the 3rd floor of a handsome historic house, just blocks from downtown, Washington & Lee, and VMI. A charming stone walk winds through the Studio's private garden to its private stairs and entrance. (Since there are two flights of stairs, McDowell Studio is definitely NOT HANDICAPPED-ACCESSIBLE.)
Formerly an artist's studio, the secluded apartment floods with light during the day, thanks to large windows with views and skylights. (Skylights operate electronically and open to catch the breeze.) Hand-printed wallpapers, c. 1880-1890 antiques, sea grass matting, comfortable seating, and a collection of paintings and prints contribute to the flat's atmosphere and charm. A carefully equipped custom kitchen with soapstone counters and a spacious tiled bathroom with shower offer thoroughly modern convenience.
The bedroom features a queen-sized iron and brass bed, while a top-quality sleeper sofa in the living room accommodates two additional guests. Meals can be taken at a small table in the kitchen or a large one in one corner of the airy sitting room.
Visitors can lounge on the sitting room's sofas or on the flat's small porch--or in the Studio's garden, which has a grill and Adirondack chairs. Thanks to the gardens surrounding the house, birdsong fills the air. (Bird-glasses are provided for those who want a closer look.) Guests also enjoy strolling or cycling nearby Wood's Creek Trail, which follows the creek to the Maury River and Jordan's Point Park.
McDowell Studio is perfectly positioned for shopping and dining in historic downtown Lexington. W & L's Lenfest Center, just 3 blocks away, presents concerts, plays, ballets, and even opera. And this luxurious apartment provides a convenient base for visiting Washington & Lee or VMI, with their elegant architecture and abiding sense of Southern tradition. McDowell Studio offers guests a rare opportunity to live graciously in the very heart of historic Lexington.

Summary: Cozy bed, great location. It is an apartment at the top of a larger older house with tall ceilings and comfortable living room. Perfect for a short visit. It's on the third floor, so if you don't mind that, it's perfect.

Summary: Location is a quick walk to downtown. The accommodations were welcoming, cozy, quiet and clean. We enjoyed admiring the antiques and art too. We did not cook in the kitchen but it looked well stocked for cooking too.

Summary: This is my third stay at this delightful property. Charming, comfortable, well-equipped kitchen, walking distance to Lexington restaurants and an easy drive to the Virginia Horse Center. Can't wait for my next visit! The hosts are responsive, the apartment is filled with character, and the views over the treetops are peaceful and private.

Summary: This cozy apartment is tucked at the back of a house through a secret garden. It is lovely to walk around the neighborhood, And a 5 minute walk to W&L campus. It was a perfect location for us as we were heading back and forth to campus for an athletic camp. If we come back to Lexington, will definitely check this location first.

Summary: What was not clear in the initial description was that the unit was accessed by two flights of outdoor stairs. The first flight of stairs was uncovered which made me a bit anxious as to lugging my stuff up an uncovered stair in the rain.
