Beautiful home in a great neighborhood

Our family (2 adults, 1 child, and 3 dogs) stayed here during our recent trip to San Antonio. The home was beautiful and charming with a great sun room and a spacious, fenced-in yard. The home is in a central (and safe) location. We loved seeing the deer walking through the neighborhood in the evening.Will definitely try to stay here the next time we come in town!

Just what we needed

The house is spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated and comes equipped with everything a traveler could need. Large fenced yard was great for our dog. Neighborhood is quiet, wooded and nice for walking. The sunroom was a real treat with morning and evening viewing of the deer. Easy access to shopping and loop 1604. We will happily stay there again.

Great stay

This was a great spot. The house was super cute and the neighborhood was charming. Very close to shops, an HEB and restaurants. We were able to easily get to Sea world (25 minites), the Alamo/riverwalk (15 minutes) and Fiesta Texas (15 minutes). Big bacyard for our dog to play fetch in.

Perfect for a family with pets

Our family came to visit the beautiful city of San Antonio and needed to bring our dogs with us. This was our first time travelling with the WHOLE family, and we had a wonderful experience. The house was perfect for the needs of our family and the neighborhood was safe and quiet. The proximity was also a plus, as we had short drives to wherever we wanted to go each day. We HIGHLY recommend this cozy, cute home if you have a family and fur babies!

Great location, safe, cozy

2nd time booking this place. I stayed last year and this year had guests in town and put them here. Being able to park in the garage is a huge plus. Location is central, super safe. Host is responsive and the house is cozy and guests slept great. Will stay again in the future and will keep it in mind for my future guests when we need more room.

Cozy, Clean & Dog Friendly

The host is so very kind and accommodating with amazing communication! Listing exactly how described. The location was perfect centralized around anything you might need within a mile (Shops, H‑E‑B grocery store, coffee, Petco, chain restaurants and so much more.) Gorgeous backyard, had plenty of bedding, extra blankets & towels. Kitchen had all cookware you would have at home & the coffee bar was our fav part (as we are very big coffee fans!) The home was very clean & neighborhood was quiet & safe. Easy check in & easy/reasonable check out rules. I am relocating and needed somewhere to stay that I could venture out different parts of San Antonio & this was the absolute perfect location. Would most def stay here again or recommend to others. All around a really good experience! Thank you for hosting us!

Cozy and Safe Spot

My husband and I plus our two tiny Chihuahua’s found this home to have lots of space, a fenced in back yard, cozy beds and a nice size kitchen. The neighborhood was very safe. We stayed two nights and it was the perfect spot. Really appreciated the laundry room. To top it off we had access to the garage which so convenient. We will stay again if we are in the area.

Homecoming weekend

We were in town for homecoming weekend at UTSA to see my daughter cheer at the game. Really lovely stay at a really lovely place. Everything was as described. Really enjoyed watching the deer in the backyard. The location was really convenient to UTSA and the Alamodome.If I were a knitpicker, it would be that the water didn't get quite as hot as we like. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Super comfortable and convenient

We needed a place to stay near our daughters in-laws for a family gathering. I also needed a large kitchen to finish decorating the cakes I had made. This was a very comfortable home to stay in. I enjoyed sitting in the sunroom Several times a day. We love to walk Morning and afternoon and the neighborhood was very pleasant to walk in. Cathy was very easy to communicate with and Home was very welcoming.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay from the moment we walked through the door. Everything felt so welcoming and the enclosed room with the big windows was the best. The rock walls and the pot belly stove made it all seem surreal.We loved watching the deer roaming around. I surprised my husband with that info. Ty for having us stay. My the day. the day. the day.

Great house. Perfect for our stay

I love so many things! The house had everything we needed and more. The beds were very comfortable. Almost like home. Nice neighborhood and close to where we were visiting. We went to the Riverwalk and Morgans Wonderland. And it was too cool to see all the deer in the neighborhood. Just hanging out in the front yards. The only con was the water pressure in the kitchen sink. But it was not a deal breaker as everything else was awesome including the price. I would stay there again.
