About this property

Huge home, perfect for big families & large groups

Need space for the whole gang? You'll have it and then some in this 5000 sq ft historic home near the center of San Antonio. As a recent guest said in a review, "It's like a boutique hotel but all for you."

Perfect for wedding parties, graduations or other group gatherings for friends or family.

Please read the full description to learn all about our amazing property.

NOTE: Per local and Airbnb rules and, more importantly, out of respect for our neighbors, we don't allow parties or events.

You will have five completely self-contained one-bedroom suites, each with a kitchen, living room, bathroom and washer/dryer. And there are two additional bedrooms with en suite baths. That's seven full bedrooms -- with real beds -- and seven full bathrooms. And we can provide additional rollaways if needed.

You will have a huge kitchen (with a restaurant-style 12-burner stove and double oven), large dining room and huge living room with a baby grand piano. And if you're still feelking crowded, there are two additional common spaces to hang out or shoot pool.

There are rocking chairs on the front porch and a baloncy deck in the back where you can enjoy your morning coffee.

You will have exclusive access to the entire home throughout your stay.

We live nearby and can be available to guests upon request.

The name Westfort is a modern nickname for the neighborhood, related to its location at the western edge of Fort Sam Houston.

The neighborhood attracted prominent residents in the 1910s. Homes for C.T. Boelhauwe, local architect, Frank Scobey, director of the US Mint, and Gutzon Borglum, nationally renowned sculptor, were all located on nearby Brahan Blvd. The neighborhood later transitioned to predominantly rentals for military personnel stationed at Fort Sam Houston and their families.

The architectural styles represented in the Westfort Historic District vary from Prairie Style and Craftsman to Mission Revival and Spanish Eclectic. The eclectic collection reflects the development of the neighborhood over many decades.

The house has a long driveway where guests may park. There is also ample street parking.

There are a few peculiarities with this lovely old house. The kitchen is huge but old so it doesn't have a dishwasher. You can wash by hand during your stay or leave rinsed dishes in a provided tub and we'll take care of them after you leave.
We do not allow parties. Violation may result in loss of security deposit and cancelation of reservation.

Trinity Football Weekend

My extended family spent two nights in this house for to attend a Trinity Football game. House was perfect for a large group. Beds where comfortable and everyone had a private bathroom. Their ware quirks in a old house such as this by the owner did a good job explaining them and had informative signs made up to remind you of those issues. Lots of space for boardgames and TV's abounded. Would definitely stay here again if I had another large group in town.

Great house and host!

Found this place after our original host canceled us 2 days before our check in date and am I glad I did!! The host was amazing in communication and willing to help with whatever needs we had at all times! The house was such a joy to stay in and fit our group of 14 perfectly! There was plenty for us to enjoy that even the younger kids were always finding something to keep them occupied while being at the house. And of course the bigger kids, aka adults, stayed entertained as well! We particularly enjoyed one room, but I won’t give away the fun with that, you’ll have to book to find out!! The back outdoor area was a nice place to hang out for everyone as well as the huge family room with plenty of sitting! The kitchen was plenty big for everyone to move around and perfect for those meals where you might need multiple burners going at once! The house is situated perfectly within just minutes of the downtown riverwalk area, Ft. Sam, as well as a few kid friendly things to do less than 5 mins away! Would definitely stay here again given the opportunity with a large family!! A huge thank you to Jack, the host, for everything!! You won’t be disappointed!

Westfort home

We really enjoyed staying in this lovely home. It is very unique. Jessica was such a friendly hostess. All of the suites have a nice sized sitting area and small kitchenette. There was more than enough room for our family.

Amazing Home!

What a unique home with all the bedrooms with their own bathrooms, sitting areas and kitchenettes. So much room for large groups such as ours. Plenty of space for everyone to sit and visit! The outdoor space was incredible too. Our family reunion was a great success! We even availed ourselves to the piano and guitars that were there. Having a sing along on Saturday night. It was most memorable! Thank you!!

Great place to stay for larger groups!

We really enjoyed our stay in this very large home. 5 of the room were full suites with living rooms, mini kitchens, dining rooms, and full baths (4 of the rooms had their own washer and dryers too). We were within walking distance of some decent food spots and a short drive to downtown San Antonio! Our host was the best and we would certainly stay here again for sure!

San Antonio Large Home

This place is quite amazing if you have a large group. There are 7 full fledged bedrooms with sitting area and attached bathrooms. Gives you privacy but when the group wants to get together we can do it in the large family and dining rooms. Centrally located, very clean. The host was amazing. Very quick to respond, check in process was super easy and he went and above and beyond to help us when we had questions. This is the best spot for large groups no doubt

Great stay with friends!

We were a group of 10 mature women staying in San Antonio for a ladies get away trip! The house was wonderful and had plenty of space for all of us. Jack, the owner met us when we arrived and went thru the house explaining everything completely. He was very helpful! The secret rooms he showed us were a delight! The neighborhood was ok, but the close location to the Pearl District was so convenient! This would make a great choice for large groups or family members!

Perfect for families!

We had a family reunion of 15 people and couldn’t have been more pleased with everything! From the beginning the host was always quick to reply and answer all of our questions! He walked us through the house to show us all the amenities included! The house and yard were simply amazing and only about a 10 minute drive to the river walk! We highly recommend this rental and host!! Thanks for making our reunion perfect!

We enjoyed it!

Jack was very responsive and helpful! It was a very large space which worked great for us since we were a group of 15 women who came for a conference. Much nicer in person vs looking at the pictures although those were nice too. The only thing that kinda freaked many of us out were the spooky Halloween looking figures in one of the bedroom closets which we got out of there as quickly as possible. Great place for making meals and lots of places for discussions too. Overall great stay! (Beds were super comfy too.)

About the host

Hosted by Jack Cox

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Jack. My wife Jessica and I love traveling and have stayed at some amazing properties around the world. We often like to travel with friends or family, and have found there are far fewer offerings for large groups in a single property. When this house came on the market a few years back, we knew if would be the perfect location for vacation rental that catered to groups. We take great pride in the work we've done to the house but we are constantly making improvements and love to hear ideas from the guests who stay with us.

Why they chose this property

This house was built as a single-family home in 1907 and converted to a boarding house during World War II to house officers stationed at nearby Fort Sam Houston. In fact, the name of the neighborhood, Westfort, is based on its location at the western edge of Fort Sam.

The neighborhood attracted prominent residents in the 1910s. Homes for C.T. Boelhauwe, local architect, Frank Scobey, director of the US Mint, and Gutzon Borglum, nationally renowned sculptor, were all located on nearby Brahan Blvd.

The neighborhood later transitioned to predominantly rentals for military personnel stationed at Fort Sam Houston and their families. The architectural styles represented in the Westfort Historic District vary from Prairie Style and Craftsman to Mission Revival and Spanish Eclectic. The eclectic collection reflects the development of the neighborhood over many decades.

The neighborhood is just next to the site of the former Peal Brewery -- now called "The Pearl" -- which today is the one of the most vibrant and fastest growing parts of San Antonio.
