Returning to this beautiful historic home was even better than our last visit! This stay was especially meaningful to our family as we gathered for one last getaway before our oldest daughter got married. The home provided the perfect setting to slow down, make memories, and enjoy time together in such a special place.We loved the peaceful, timeless atmosphere and the way the surrounding nature seemed to transport us back in time. With the historic missions nearby and so much beauty to take in, it felt like a true escape while still being conveniently close to everything we wanted to explore.There is something truly special about this home, and returning only made us appreciate it more. It was the perfect blend of history, tranquility, and convenience. We are so grateful for the memories made here and would happily return again!

Beautiful historical ambiance, but unfortunately, the cleanliness and overall experience were disappointing. The cookware had stuck-on food, the sheets smelled unpleasant, and the coffee machine contained moldy coffee. A faulty refrigerator cabinet caused glasses to break, the host never responded to our request for a spare key to secure our belongings, and an unannounced dog unexpectedly jumped on me as we were leaving. The property has charm, but cleanliness, maintenance, communication, and guest safety need significant improvement.

To say our stay was enjoyable is an understatement! We came to San Antonio for our son’s AIT graduation at Fort Sam Houston. This place was a wonderful quiet respite for our family visit with our soldier. The location and surroundings made this historic house a destination. The house itself was a living museum, with thoughtful decor displaying interesting artwork and antiques. A moment to live in a yesteryear setting, stepping back in time listening to old records. Many wonderful memories were made but a favorite was playing cards sitting around a western leather table and chairs. I appreciate the host sharing this historical gem experience with others!

We loved staying at this character-filled and beautifully-appointed home! The location was so cool being next door to mission San Juan and riverwalk hike and bike trail, and we loved the roaming chickens and dogs on the property. We would definitely stay here again for a long weekend. It’s the perfect place to relax and hang out with family and friends.

Perfect Home Base for Exploring San Antonio

This wonderful property is situated perfectly to access all of SA, and in particular the mission trail and SA River parks and trails. It is very comfy and clean. A great place to stay on your visit to the city.

Great location for visiting Lackland AFB during our son’s Basic Training—very convenient and close to Riverwalk. The area itself is a bit rough and not our usual preference, as we typically lean toward Hill Country stays.Guests should be aware that dogs and chickens can be noisy, trains pass at night, the master bedroom is a walk-through without a lock, and a caretaker family lives on the grounds. That said, the property is private from neighbors, fairly priced, and full of character. Good value for travelers prioritizing proximity to the base.

This spot was amazing!! Full of history, style and charm- pure San Antonio. Ten out of ten for my family! My daughters were enthralled with the loft and the terrace overlooking the fig trees, and there were books and reading nooks galore. The plunge pool was a big hit, as well, and there is a swing-set. We loved having easy access to the river trails and the atmosphere felt very old-school, in the best sense. Esmerelda's Mexican restaurant was within walking distance and had the BEST breakfast. While my older children loved the home, we did have to exercise vigilance in regards to our toddlers. There are steep stone stairs and a small pond behind the house. There is a rooster on the property, but the hostess thoughtfully supplied sound machines in each room. She was responsive and kind, and I think she truly values the saying "Mi casa es su casa." Highly recommend.

Out of town retreat

The property has cozy charm and is a great escape from the city. Pleanty of cool little spots to hang out and enjoy coffee in the morning. The dip pool is great when its hot out. Be advised the main bedroom has the bathroom in it that everyone uses. The basement steps are very steep.

Reminder of days on the ranch. Great acreage with multiple cozy sitting areas. Plunge pool is just right for youngsters. The house is a delight around every corner. Hope to return soon.
