I have a small infant and needed somewhere to stay that wouldn't require us to leave, but would entertain my 7 & 10 year old during the day while their dad worked. They absolutely loved the pool and scootering around on the property. it was so charming. The history and the 80's nostalgia we had staying here was amazing! My husband and I left saying we wanted an older home with character :) The kitchen area was huge, there is a second living room and doors with access to the outdoors everywhere. You also see the trees in full floor to ceiling windows or screen doors from every room. One thing I will say, the tub in one of the bathrooms needs to be updated. We all used the master shower and it was totally fine with us since we were one family. The master bathroom was HUGE. But if there was another family there it might have been a hassle.

This property is rich in history, make sure you read the welcome book! In town for Airman’s graduation, the location was perfect to Lackland Air Base. Pool was nice and deer roamed around on property. The house has a great AC system for hot days. I would definitely recommend staying here for any occasion. 10/10

The place is roomy and had everything we needed. We took advantage of the pool to cool off and saw deer on the property. It's a super nice, peaceful place to relax.

I loved this property! This history is fascinating and the property itself is unique. It was wonderful- I suspect the land itself is gorgeous in the warmer months. I liked the location and loved the amenities. It was very luxury mid-century and it was terrific. We will stay here again when we get back to San Antonio. This is a gem.

This property is absolutely beautiful. I drove up in the drive way to be greeted by a herd of deer that grazed the entire time we were there. The house is laid out great for entertaining - equipped with anything you need. Very close to restaurants and shopping and medical district. Marco - the owner is very accommodating and Edgar that lives on the property attended to anything we needed with a smile. I will definitely be staying here again!
