Thank you for the kind review. Glad the home was peaceful, safe, and spacious and that it worked well for your horse show. We’d be happy to host you again. Safe travels!
We all loved the house! The house had everything a family could need to cook and spend time away from home. If we come back to SA it’ll be our top choice!

The size and layout of the house was good and the house was clean. The kitchen appliances met all our needs. The younger kids really enjoyed the pool. Location was convenient to River Walk and the zoo. The pool table was good for the older kids.

House is historic and has lots of character and well decorated, close to things in San Antonio. House was clean and host was quick to respond to messages. Pool, hot tub and space were nice. Great for a large group to stay. We would have given 5 stars but had issues with the following: main bath shower did not drain so couldn’t be used, mold around grout so wonder if this isn’t new. Other baths had showers but didn’t get hot water and the shower curtains were too short and blew in on you the whole time touching you and were not new. A/C stopped cooling day 2. Toilet in guest bath tipped forward if sat on. These things made it not feel like luxury as titles and the price point too high for these issues. It would be a lovely home to stay if these things didn’t occur.
