About this property

LOCATION
Book StoneHaus and you are 4 blocks away from this Riverwalk wonderland.

This historic family-friendly private home includes free gated parking. Start your morning with coffee on the front porch or enjoy a relaxing evening in the backyard garden. The Alamo is only a short walk! Other downtown area attractions in close proximity include the San Antonio Riverwalk, Scottish Rite Center, Tobin Center, The Majestic Theater, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Sunset Station, Hemisfair Plaza, and the Alamodome. The Pearl district is within a short drive.

HISTORY
Known as the Engelmann-Muench House, this cottage was built in 1858 by Martin Engelmann, a wealthy German immigrant. The caliche block vernacular double house sits on a site which was once part of the Alamo farmlands. The structure is a good example of a once-common San Antonio house type and features original built-in end chimneys.

If you explore the neighborhood, you will find a new bar scene developing with Road Map Brewery, La Roca, Bentley's, and more. Of course, restaurants and food trucks are in close walking distance on North Alamo, Houston St and the Riverwalk. Don't forget to sign up for a ghost tour. There are several options from which to choose....Sisters Grimm is my favorite.
Morning coffee on the front porch is relaxing and an evening glass of wine on backyard patio is soothing and delightful.

Located so close to downtown

Great space for access to Downtown venues and far away places. Host left very nice touches such as firewood and wine. If youwant access to Downtown and candeal with being Downtown then this spot is great l.

Adorable Hacienda safe and convenient to downtown

We thoroughly loved our stay at StoneHaus. The history of the building was so interesting and the hosts gave us all the information we needed to have a fantastic trip, plus a bonus bottle of wine! Beds were comfortable, plenty of storage to unpack our suitcases for a long weekend, and Roku on the TV helped us decompress after some long hikes and shopping days on the riverwalk. Gated parking added a layer of security for the area as some homeless folks seek shelter in nearby churches, but at no time did that affect our experience or safety on the trip. Would consider staying here everytime we come back to visit with friends or our families.

Lovely house in convenient location

We came to San Antonio for a wedding, and I'm so glad we picked this house. It was very cute and well-kept! I also appreciated the gate surrounding the house. The neighborhood was quiet (aside from some car sounds), but it was nice to know nobody else could get into the property area. (We had some issues with gate codes, but the host leaves a remote control for opening the back gate just in case). Since there's really just one bedroom, there isn't a ton of privacy (there's a daybed with two twin mattresses in a small room, and two queen beds in a larger attached room), but it was a great spot to stay with family. We were able to walk downtown quickly, and my partner and I - both vegetarian - loved Plantaqueria, which was just a couple of blocks away. Thanks, Mona and Barry!

Great home in a great location

The House was great and less than 10 minute walk to the Alamo. We loved our stay and had a very minor hiccup which Mona came to personally resolve. Loved our stay and highly recommend it.

Unique little place, very private and quiet… Frankly, I was concerned about it being in an industrial area, but we absolutely loved it and it was secure and perfect for our family for a few days while visiting San Antonio!

Lovely home in central location

This was a perfect place for a weekend stay in San Antonio. Walking distance to many of the hot spots and a lovely design with everything you need. One note is you do access the second bedroom through the first so perfect for a child or family member.

Lovely historic home in heart of San Antonio

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely historic home in San Antonio. We were able to walk to downtown easily (about 10-15 min) and hit all the tourist stops and the Riverwalk area. The hosts were excellent and the home was well equipped with everything you need for a weeklong stay.

Cute House close to Downtown

It was a nice house to stay in. It is very conveniently located and within walking distance to the Alamo. The owners were easy to work with and there wasn't any problems. We had breakfast tacos at the Oasis which is right next door. Has great reviews!

San Antonio kind of Weekend

First...the house is amazing...the history and architecture really make it stand out. It is small but, perfect for a couple or small group of friends. In addition, you are only a few minutes walk from the Alamo and Riverwalk. I can't forget to mention the owners hospitality....they were great!

The cottage was beautiful! The decor was very inviting and the yard was very pretty.

We would stay here again if we passed this way (which I hope to do). We loved the history of the cottage especially after our visit to the Alamo. We walked to the Riverwalk and nearby restaurants. It was a great trip and we thoroughly enjoyed being at the cottage. The owners were very welcoming and helpful during our stay. San Antonio is a beautiful city with great food! Thank you for making your cottage available!

Beautiful piece of history

StoneHaus was one of the most beautiful homes I've rented, it's a true slice of history! The house was spotless, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed during our stay. It was a short walk to both the Alamo and the Riverwalk. We saw a few homeless people in the area but it wasn't any different than what you'd see in any other city. I was visiting with my daughter and 2 young grandchildren (2&3), we felt comfortable walking to/from the downtown area. StoneHaus is completely fenced in with security gates which made us feel very safe at night. The host was friendly and responsive. I highly recommend staying at StoneHaus!

Long Weekend from HOU

We had a great weekend. The property is maintained well and is in good order. The property managers provided all the necessary details to access the house and useful supplemental info about the surrounding area. This accommodating historic home has plenty of character which certainly adds to the SATX experience. Thank you for a comfortable, unique and memorable stay.

The house was nice. The neighborhood was surrounded by homeless. I thought we could walk to the river walk seeing it is less than a mile but I was unwilling to take my family through the homeless encampments.

BEST HOME AWAY EVER!!!!!

This Home Away property and the experience with the owners is the platinum level of experience. The property is SO close to downtown (literally blocks), it is very secure as well. It is a charming historic home which has been beautifully appointed by the owners. It has wonderful front AND back patios. The back patio is charming and comfortable - we loved sitting out there in the late evenings just before bed. The owners were pure class, responded quickly to inquiries, gave very detailed instructions on access and even welcomed us with a lovely note and bottle of wine. Best owners I have interacted with hands-down. If you are headed to San Antonio - THIS is sensational!
