Casa histórica no rio San Antonio e trilha da missão ao lado da missão San Juan

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!

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.

I loved the location; we walked to the mission and to a park nearby; the house was decorated so uniquely; the pool was relaxing and there was so many places to sit and admire the outdoors.

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.

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.
