About this house rental

No, we're not on the RiverWalk but we do have over a mile of San Antonio River frontage. Our home is located in the country away from city noises and congestion. However, we are only 15 minutes from the Riverwalk, Alamo Dome, The Alamo, SBC Center (Home of the San Antonio Spurs), Joe Freeman Coliseum and other exiting places and events in San Antonio. Sea World and Fiesta Texas are only 30 minutes away and Schlitterbaum, America's #1 Water Park is only an hour away. Although our river does not compare to the Comal or Guadalupe for tube floating, those locations are not too far away. So you can still go enjoy the tubing and the crowds and come "home" to peace and quiet and relax in the hot tub.

We are situated on 110 acres with over a mile of San Antonio River frontage. Several nice areas have been cleared for fishing and/or swimming. Hiking and biking have been favorites for many who have stayed here. We are minutes from the Rodeo held in San Antonio every February. We have found many arrow heads and other Indian artifacts on our property.

Jack and I are pleased to have visitors to San Antonio stay in our home. We do live in the house. It is our home. However, when guests are here we stay in our master suite which is a 4th bedroom. We have our own entrance and do not need to share the rest of the house with our guests. It is important that you read the Owner Story and the reviews for more information.

This is a large spacious home (4,200 square feet) with lots of open areas. There is a courtyard in the front of the house, a terrace outside two of the three bedrooms and a large back porch perfect with an adjoining deck for cook-outs and entertaining. There is also a hot tub with access from 2 of the 3 bedrooms.

The large family room has a 70 inch big screen TV with surround sound. The living room has a sofa bed and a 32 inch TV.

We came out to San Antonio for the recent eclipse. Our hosts were amazing, the house is amazing and the property is extraordinary. We walked several times around the grounds on the well-maintained roads and paths so we could get different views of the river. We barbecued out on the deck. We watched the local news for weather and traffic updates in the huge living room. Each room has its own exit to a patio area. The hosts were so helpful to us, and generous with their time, yet completely unobtrusive in any way to our privacy or schedule. I really hope we can go out again and bring the whole family next time.

We really enjoyed our stay. Peaceful, safe, lots to entertain our small kids. The closet with toys for all ages really made a difference for us. We enjoyed a quiet short walk to the river. We will be back again:) thank you!

This was literally my dream home. The owners were very nice and accomodating. We were there for christmas with our family, and they left up their beautiful decorations for our family to enjoy. Highly recommend this property if you want to feel at home. My only regret is not having more time to explore the property. Thank you Margaret and Jack

Margaret and Jack were amazing hosts and very helpful. The river is an easy walk to fish or swim. The house is very comfortable and has plenty of space. There are also many games and toys for the kids. My boys loved being out in the woods, but with that comes insects (ants, wasps, scorpions), but that didn’t deter us any. We loved this place and I would definitely stay again!

The property is beautiful... secluded, yet located less than 10 minutes away from anything you may need. I know everyone has different preferences but when my husband and I go on vacation, we go to get away from it all. This was perfect! The river is awesome. We spent most of our time in and around it. It's not quite the crystal clear water you might find on other rivers but it's beautiful, regardless. The best part? Unlike those other rivers, you're probably not going to see another soul on it! Felt like we had our own river. The owners do live on site as they clearly state on here. They have their own quarters inside the house, but you're not sharing living space. I know some people might be turned off by that but trust me, you won't even know they're there unless you need them for something. Mr. & Mrs. H are incredibly kind, helpful and knowledgeable about the history of this beautiful property... and there is a lot of history! As soon as our school year is wrapped up, we'll be returning and bringing the kids with us! We can not wait!

We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves because the home was like staying at a family home. Kitchen stocked for big meals, lots of property for the kids to explore without the worry of other people around, toys/games and toiletries I hadn’t expected to be there, but it was nice to have available. We felt welcome!

We loved our stay! We had plenty of room for our group of 6. This was just what I was looking for. It was great for me and my husband who love to fish, hike, and explore. It also worked well for our friends who don't enjoy nature as much. They were able to relax in the beautiful home or make a short 10 minute trip to town. Margaret and her husband were very welcoming and wonderful hosts. I look forward to coming back!

House is large and spacious, great for a big family. Property is vast with multiple scenic river spots. Wildlife is abundant, saw lots of turkeys and rabbits. Can hear coyotes at night. House is very well equipped, especially the kitchen . Location seems far out but it’s 25 minutes to almost anywhere in the city . H‑E‑B and Walmart are less than 15 minutes away Hosts were very helpful but also mindful of our privacy . We enjoyed our stay and would consider staying here again

Wish we would've had more time to enjoy all this home and property have to offer. Owners do live in the same home, which is normally something my husband wouldn't have liked, but they are not at all a bother or invading. Their hospitality is amazing, and we truly appreciated them and their home. It has all you need for a comfortable stay. We have 3 toddlers so there's always something you need for them, be it play pen, toys to keep them entertained, or a high chair and this home has it all. Lord willing, we'll be returning very soon. If you needed some reassurance whether this is the place to book or not, here it is. Thank you, Jack and Margaret!

The house is secluded,Marg and Jack live in the house. Truly you just need to bring food. The kitchen is fully equipped and they have plenty of games to play. The river is not easily accessible, but with balance down nature trails you can enter the water from 3 locations. Our host were available if we needed them and. were willing to engage in conversation if you wanted to hear stories. They built the house 18 years ago and it is massive beauty. Mother Nature has not been kind and you can see where the house has settled, but that didn’t take away from its design and openness. This house is in the country, so bring bug spray if you like to set outside at night.

We loved our stay!! We had everything we could possibly need and if anything ran out, we had a replacement within hours. Jack and Margaret are friendly and helpful. The space was much larger than expected so our group of 16 had more than enough places to sleep and room to spread out. Great outdoor gathering space. We got rained out and the river was running too fast to swim but the one time we were able to get in, the swimming hole was perfect for kiddos and adults of all ages. They did provide dvds, vhs tapes, toys and board games! The kids had a great time collecting fossils, rocks, snails and frogs.

Margaret and Jack we're great hosts. The house was perfect for our two families with plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen had everything you'd need to cook a family meal, plus some. Margaret and Jack thought of everything you'd need for a comfortable stay, from towels, air mattresses, inflatable tubes, wifi, to hot cocoa. We would love to come again with out of state family.
