This is a great place to stay in San Antonio. Some great restaurants within a couple miles, downtown not far away. A bit chilly in February, but our host took good care of us.
The location is a convenient drive to all the attractions throughout San Antonio. The interior of the home is cute and clean, beds were comfortable. Provided the basic necessities for our weeklong stay. Communication with the host was always prompt and helpful.
Property was very charming and clean! Each room was decorated with beautiful furniture and comfortable beds. The host was very accommodating to our needs and did a great job communicating all of the details as well as answering all of our questions. The location was great! A short drive to downtown near plenty of coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping! Would definitely visit again!
Home is all the pictures show. It’s big, clean and updated. Also, it’s very close to downtown and riverwalk. We loved the location and the walking trails across the street are easy access too. Great place!
My mom and I booked this for our girls trip to San Antonio. House was beautiful with its historic charm, open concept, and very clean. Very accessible to all the things we wanted to do. Slept well in comfortable beds and linens. I definitely recommend and would book this home again for a return trip. Thank you for having us!
The house was nice, clean and relaxing. Beds were comfortable and kitchen stocked.
The neighborhood is up and coming with close proximity to downtown.
The walking trails and park that are across the street were an added bonus.
We really enjoyed our stay in this house. We chose this house over having to get multiple hotel rooms for our family. We made the right choice!
This house is very spacious, cozy and charming. It had everything we needed for our stay.
This historic home was immaculately clean and beautiful, the fence was great. The kitchen had everything we needed and the hosts were so kind. We crossed the street both days to go to the Riverwalk trail, and it was easy and so peaceful and perfect! We loved our stay, we would love to come back soon!
This property is beautiful. We were able to relax, enjoy our time together and make lifetime memories. We will book here again. It is a wonderful property. Great hosts made it even better. Thank you for allowing us to stay!
We loved this home for our weekend getaway. I fell in love with the architecture of the home and the style. We actually fell in love with the bedding and are buying it for our home. We can’t wait to stay here again!
This was our first time in San Antonio and we loved our experience here. The house was perfect for us since we like to walk and it is close to the River Walk. We loved being close to all the cultural events, but not being in the downtown area.
The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The beds were comfortable and kitchen was well equipped.
The home was spotless, decor was tasteful and inviting, kitchen well stocked and the surprise was toiletries were stocked in the bathroom! Location is convenient to all things"fun to do" in San Antonio. Riverwalk, Blue Star, Pearl Brewery (6 miles) and the Quary (8 miles). We will definitely be back! Thanks Destin for providing us a nice get away!
Our family had a wonderful experience with Destin and his property. The home was beautiful. Clean, bright, comfortable. We appreciate all of the things done to make us feel at home. We safe and at home. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience in San Antonio.
Beautiful property that us thoughtfully appointed. We loved the close proximity to all of the main attractions in San Antonio.
Hosts were very quick to respond to messages. The home us beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a pleasant stay. I personally loved the refurbished original flooring. It is lovely.
If we are ever back in the area, we would definitely book this location!
Our family had a great stay. The music upon arrival was a wonderful touch. Destin was great to communicate with and was quick to respond with any inquiries. The location was great, we were no more than 30 minutes away from all of our destinations. Downtown was even closer than that. Plenty of restaurants within a mile or two. The house was clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We had a great time!
We had a lot of fun at this house! They have board games that the kids really enjoyed. The one bathroom made things a little difficult with how many people we had stay there, but it wasn’t too bad. The owners of the property were prompt and responsive to any messages I sent them. The neighborhood driving in doesn’t look very appealing, but we had no issues at all with out stay in regards to the neighborhood. A park right across the street where we took the kids was awesome! We will definitely stay again next time we come visit San Antonio. Thank you Destin and Mara

Nice place, but.....
This is a very old but very nice place. Very roomy, charming, clean, but...... TRAINS, all night long. The shirt amount of time we spent there during the day, the neighborhood was quiet. However the two nights we were there on queue around 1030pm, the trains start rolling in very close to the house, clackety clack and the conductor laying in the horns constantly through the hours of the morning. As if they want to run everyone out of the neighborhood which does seem kind of abandoned. The owners did a fine job upgrading this nice old home, but something has got to be done about the nearby trains. I did not sleep well.
