It was such a beautiful property that fit our big family perfectly. Unfortunately, we had to leave early because of a storm knocking out San Antonio's electrical grid. Our host, Brent, communicated the entire time and made certain we were fairly taken care of. We'll be back again as soon as we can.

We were overall pleased with the house and location. The cooking pans were all non-stick and in poor condition and need to be replaced. We would have preferred stainless steel pans and some iron skillets, but there were non of either. The cookie sheets also needed to be replaced. Other than that, we were very happy.

Hi Jim, I'm sorry we were not a 5 star stay for your group. We actually had new skillets waiting to go in the house and they are there now. If you had let us know durring your stay we would have brought them over for you. Thank you for the kind words.

This location was outstanding! You would not be able to tell from the outside how grand the inside actually is. It was nice location wise and offered everything that was in the description. If there was anything I would improve on would be to provide more kitchen towels but that is a very minor issue that is wiped away with the experience one will have staying at this location. Thank you to the host of this location and we will definitely suggest this location any time one will ask where to stay!

We had seven adults/teenagers and the layout worked well. Nice older home in a good neighborhood. Great location for walking to coffee shops and less than 15 minute drive to Pearl Markets, Zoo, and Riverwalk. And, good access to Bandera, Greune and Boerne. The pool is not heated so it would be great during hotter weather. The host is very responsive to questions.
