Been here before, and will be back again. Excellent location, fantastic property. Relaxing!

Our teens couldn't enjoy the pool while tenants from Ambassador house stared out the window the entire time they were in the pool.

We enjoyed our time, enjoyed seeing all the deer, swimming in the pool, the tennis, basketball, and convenience of the location to all of our activities for the week!

A great set up for our guys golf trip. The house was large and easily accommodated our group. The location was perfect for accessing nearby golf courses all within 25 minutes. The property is very secluded within the neighborhood. The grounds were amazing with all the oak trees and deer grazing. The host and house manager were easy to get a hold of and communicated promptly when we needed something. All the guys enjoyed the uniqueness of the home and the property.

My husband and I met up in San Antonio between business trips and this was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The property is a gem! It’s located 10 mins from everything we needed - Med center, the rim, golf courses, restaurants, etc - yet surrounded by trees and wildlife in a very nice neighborhood. The bed was amazingly comfortable, and the deck where you can sip morning coffee while deer feed and birds chirp was the most peaceful way to start your day! It was perfect for recharging for the week. We will return - it has everything we look for in a rental.

La casa esta muy linda, en una zona tranquila con muchos arboles y jardin. La disfrutamos mucho

This property gives you so much privacy, right in the middle of the city. A gorgeous mid century home on a gorgeous property. We woke up to peace and quite and deer in the yard. Very unique experience.

Excellent location, with a feel of being in a secluded area, which really being close to everything. Awesome complex! The main house is expansive - open floor plan, very comfortable. The Garden House is also quite large. Both are from the 60’s but are in excellent condition. Gives it a nostalgic feel - but does not take anything away on comfort. On site private pool and tenis courts with large area where wildlife (deer, birds, etc.) were comfortable to come out and be seen and enjoyed.

Serene and delightful, this house is beautifully appointed and a joy to spend time in. Deer roam as if it’s their property :) The conveniences of the city are less than a mile away, but you would never know it. The property manager and on-site caretaker are available and responsive to any question or need. We plan to return as soon as possible.

As soon as we drove up the driveway it felt like we were in the country and no longer in the city. The property is surrounded by beautiful trees. Even though the house is older and could undergo a renovation, we appreciated it how it is because you rarely see old floor plans anymore. I loved all the large windows and all the entryways. Every room has a view of the property so even tasks like washing dishes or folding laundry were pleasant. I think that if the house was renovated it would make it way above our price range so I'll be happy if they keep it how it is bc we really felt like we walked back in time as soon as we went inside. It's cozy, beds are very comfortable, you wake up to the sound of the water fountain outside your window and you simply can't get this experience in a hotel for that price. I have 5 kids so in a hotel we are always on top of each other and at the house everyone had room to move around, we cooked some meals and comfortably stayed for 4 days and 4 nights. Also, it is literally a min away from the freeway and close to all attractions. Most of our drives were 20 min or less. In the mornings we got lucky enough to see a family of deer walking through the backyard and at night when we got home from our outings we relaxed in the back balcony. Can't wait to book this property again for our future stays in San Antonio. Thanks again for letting stay at the Garden House

Nice location and very secluded from other properties. Enjoyed our visit.

The property is perfect for our stays to visit our daughter , son-in-law and granddaughter. Centrally located. 15 minutes to my daughter's, downtown, La Cantera, etc. Private. Perfect size. The property manager, Marco, is excellent to work with - excellent! The on-site manager, Edgar, is just great as well. Our granddaughter loves staying with us.

We live in Virginia Beach and come often to San Antonio to visit with our daughter's family. The Garden House is perfect for our needs: an oasis in a big city yet centrally located (it takes us 17 minutes to drive downtown; 1 hour to Fredericksburg; 12 minutes to our daughter's on the NW 1604 loop & La Cantera); nicely furnished; huge master suite; gated property in gorgeous historic neighborhood; etc. There is a property manager on the plantation site, Edgar, that is totally customer focused. We would not consider staying anywhere else

Our family stayed here during New Year's Eve and loved it. The house is so spacious and beautifully decorated! The 5-acre property is spectacular and I recommend renting the Ambassador House also if you have a big group. While on the property we saw lots of wildlife which was so cool. A gray fox, a huge white-tailed buck, two great horned owls and a cara cara bird of prey. I highly recommend this sweet home.

We rented the Garden House and the Ambassador House for a family celebration. Perfect in every way, great space, beautiful setting, it is like having your own personal resort. Marco makes everything easy, everything you need to know is provided in advance, and onsite caretaker handles anything that develops.

I reserve my five stars to places that enhance a vacation all on their own, and this one fits the bill. A huge guesthouse with a great kitchen and all the cooking tools you need. Large treed grounds, and a feeling of being guests to the Manor House that takes centre stage. All within easy distance of downtown. After each day of activities, this was a great place to come home to. And on site staff and management were very accommodating to our every need.

This property is gorgeous and well kept. The grounds are amazing and working with owner very easy.

My extended family - 11 adults and 10 children - recently rented the Garden House and Ambassador House. We had plenty of room for everyone to spread out. At any one time, we had people playing pool, watching TV, playing board games, and chilling out with some quiet time. The kids all loved the tennis courts and deer watching. The property is very quiet. It is located near shopping and not far from the downtown attractions. We managed to cook Christmas dinner for all 21 of us with the dishes and utensils provided plus a few big roasting pans from the grocery store. My crew can be hard to please, but everyone agreed it was a great house for our large group. If we decide to spend another holiday together in San Antonio, we will be renting here again!

Nice spot with a surprising amount of room. Very relaxing stay

The house is beautiful and super spacious, but when you first step in and looked very clean. I would give them five stars if not for the bug problem and the pool was very kept. The ground keeper Edgar was great and ready to help.

We recently used the property to celebrate my wedding weekend and it was perfect!! We used both houses to accommodate the wedding party. We were able to have our rehearsal dinner Friday night and then transform the backyard into our reception space Saturday evening. From start to finish, the entire thing was better than I could've ever imagined. I was concerned about it being too hot or bugs taking over, but all of the trees provided plenty of shade for all of our guests. The backyard is so spacious. There was plenty of room for the guests to roam around freely and even space for the kids to run around and play. When the sun starts to set the back patio area is lit up by globe string lights with a few spot lights in the trees so the ambiance was beautiful. Once all of the guests had gone, the remaining wedding party and their families got to enjoy the pool. They all loved it! Everyone has said nothing but great things about the property. All of our wedding guests absolutely loved it! Even our wedding photographer fell in love with the house! Marco and Edgar were a delight to work with. Marco was always very responsive and helpful! I met Edgar sometime last year to look at the property and he was more than accommodating. Anything we needed or any questions we had, he was there to help us out! Our wedding weekend could not have been more perfect! And I can't say enough good things about the property and the owner! Can't wait to go back again!

very peaceful, we loved the property, wished we had rented the main house, saw deers twice during our stay.

This is a wonderful property. It's beautiful, inside and out, with a back deck looking into the trees that makes you feel as though you are deep in the woods - not a half mile from a major freeway. The inside is well decorated, comfortable and was very clean. The owner (or owner's rep), Marco, was incredibly responsive (usually five minutes or less to respond to any inquiry) as was the onsite property overseer, Edgar. The location is central - 15 minutes from downtown and I assume a similar distance from Six Flags/Sea World. If this property is available, we won't stay anywhere else when we return to San Antonio.

The house was very nice and spacious really enjoyed our stay. Although the internet was slow and kept going out for some reason. Marco and Edgar were great and easy to get a hold of them. Thank you I would definitely come back.

Everything was great. It felt 20 degrees cooler there because of the trees and being up on the hill. I will definite refer family and friend to your property. It was so relaxing and did not feel like I was stuck inside a hotel downtown!

WE stayed four nights at the Garden House. The property was very relaxing as we were surrounded by a "live Oak canopy" jungle full of various types of vegetation (some tropical). Loquat trees bearing fruit everywhere, several types of birds (cardinals, finches, blue jays) singing, squirrels, stray cats, and several deer were seen on the property numerous times while we were there. The home was furnished with a comfortable bed, lots of windows that had adequate treatments to close off the outside but we never did, no one could see in for all the trees. We hosted a dinner party for six and had service enough and cooking supplies/utensils to prepare a nice meal. I worried about parking in front of the house because it might block the road but we managed to get over to one side and there was enough room for a vehicle to pass. Good water pressure for a nice hot relaxing shower. Laundry room was very large and had soap for clothes and dryer sheets available. The deck was built around the trunks of two mature live oak trees and there were fans to circulate the air. Although the time we spent there the temperature was so cool we even had to turn the heater on one night. We did not go swimming (pool towels provided) or play tennis but there is that option, rackets and balls are also provided. All in All a nice home to get away... a real escape, conveniently located near loop 410 west and I 10. There is a medical center pretty close to the property and aside from hearing the occasional siren it felt like we were off in some secluded ranch...not in a city of over a million people.

Simply stated; we will center our travel to the San Antonio area around the availability of leasing this property. Great property, location, and experience with owner/operator.

Private luxury, mid century modern amongst regal oak trees. Great way to experience San Antonio. Beautiful on site tennis court. Grounds well maintained, house equipped with many cooking options. Edgar and Mario very helpful hosts.

The Garden Home is a wonderful place to kickback and relax. The trees around the home in this gated compound are awe-inspiring. We had dinner with family and friends one evening and had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook a meal of beef tenderloin, fresh asparagus, potatoes, and banana foster for dessert. Bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms were well supplied. It's was hard to believe that I-10 and loop 410 were just blocks away. We will definitely come back. Jose

We had a great four night stay at this wonderful home. It is a gated property with two homes available for rent - we stayed in the smaller garden house - and the property is like an oasis in the center of San Antonio. Once you enter through the gate, you feel as if you are in a beautiful park. The setting is green and lush, and very quiet. The home was well-appointed with everything that we could need. The rooms are spacious. We watched deer in the backyard on the first night. We were in a perfect location to visit the Riverwalk, SeaWorld, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, and a movie theater with our son, daughter-in-law and grandson during our long weekend stay. Shopping nearby. While on the grounds, our grandson could swim in the pool. We are frequent users of HomeAway and VRBO and this is one of the nicest properties we have stayed in. Highly recommend. We would definitely come back again.

This is a beautiful property. The caretakers were very helpful. Great location and close to the airport. We would stay here again.

Our family spent a wonderful week in this garden house, which is indeed in a garden-like setting but is not small at all. Its 2 bedrooms are large and comfortable with huge modern bathrooms and doors to the back deck and front patio. With 3 kids, we converted an extra room into another bedroom for the kids. The house has a modern kitchen, laundry and living space. Loved it all, although we did have trouble finding a cutting board since there are so many drawers and so much space in the kitchen. The property manager and caretaker were both very helpful throughout our visit. Highly recommend! We don't know if and when we'll be back in San Antonio but will stay here again if we do.
