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 stayed here with our 3 young children and had the best time. Margaret and Jack are wonderful hosts and take so much pride in their home. The property is amazing and we had a blast playing in the river, going on walks in the woods, and having a campfire. Easy to get into town but is a perfect country getaway. Thank you!

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!
