About this house rental

Historic House on San Antonio River and Mission hike and bike trail. Our casa is right next door to one of San Antonio's five mission's, Mission San Juan Capistrano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We are on the San Antonio River and the wonderful newly renovated hike and bike trail that connect all the Missions. Skip rocks on the river, watch the sunset or curl up in our comfortable, charming home. With extensive grounds, nestled on 2 acres, we have a real 'getting away from it all' feel while still being conveniently located to all of San Antonio's best attractions -10 miles to The Alamo- 3 miles to grocery stores, restaurants, a movie theater and shopping!

History: The main portion of the house was built 1890ish and then the rest was added in the late 20s. All the land to the south of the home used to be owned by the Southwells. It was a pecan orchard. The river portion to your west was cut in the late 50s in order to move water out if downtown more rapidly and prevent flooding. The river to the east is the original river remnant and has incredible bird life. You may also see coyotes and wild hogs on the river. It is rumored to have been a stagecoach stop and even a brothel.

location was nice and walking distance to Mission San Juan. Weather that weekend was rainy otherwise it would have been great for a walk and some exploring. Our group ended up being smaller than originally planned which turned out better because one room had very small steps going down into the room and a bit difficult for an adult to descend. Would likely work for children. The house had plenty of rooms to spread out. Hostess was responsive. The information sheet needs updating. All in all a good stay.

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.

Came for a staycation with small group of family & friends. Incredible, historic property with every amenity you can think of. Gorgeous land & native plants. Walkable to historic Bergs Mill, Mission San Juan, and riverwalk.

The interior of this VRBO is very creative & fun. The owners spent a lot of energy on the decor. Unfortunately, our visit was tarnished by the caretaker’s dogs, barking & howling all night. It was waaaay over-the-top. At 3am, my wife suggested we move to a hotel. In the morning, I spoke directly with the caretaker. His response, “No English”. When I spoke decent Spanish, he acted confused? Like clockwork the barking & howling continued...each & every night. Train horn, motorcycle, the neighbor's dog (1/3 mile away, across the river), a bird in a tree....basically every little noise at night triggers "dog hysteria" & it takes a solid 20-30 min. to calm back down. If your VRBO cannot provide the basic necessity of a reasonable quiet-time (10pm-8am) you are at the wrong price point. Too bad, if not for the poorly trained pups, we would have had an entirely different experience here.
